Stock Investing For Beginners: How To Buy Your First Stock And Grow Your Money

This was one of the very first investing books I ever bought and is one, if not THE BEST book for beginners I’ve ever read. It’s very straightforward and concise with zero fluff. John does a great job writing in a conversational way and makes this an easy and enjoyable read, yet informative enough so you feel confident to start investing your money. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This little book is great to get you started in the stock market. It focuses on growth stocks and gives some information about dividend paying stock. After you read it, you will be able to open a broker account and buy (and sell) your first stocks. The information covered is very basic, which is great, if you don't know much (anything) about stocks. If you would like more information, the book gives links to other resources (newsletters, websites, books, tv shows). The book is written in a conversational tone, so it's an easy and quick read (it's even a bit entertaining thanks to the author's writing style). However, if you want to know more than the basic basics, get a different book.

I personally thought its an extremely helpful book for pure beginners. People who don't have a single clue about the stock market i think this is the book for you. But does it get to the point where you can comfortably buy a stock, from my point of view i don't think so. I think the books just gives you an overall idea on how the stock market works and how the investor should think. Its very brief I enjoyed the book, very great examples to make things much more simple to understand. Overall it an Excellent book for beginner, but not to the point where you could comfortably buy a stock as the title claims.

What a great book! I knew nothing about stocks, and really felt like I needed to learn about them, so I could start investing. Once I started reading, everything began to start making sense. Once I finished, I felt confident enough to buy my own stocks and watch my money grow! This book was cheap, easy to read and short, so definitely worth buying. I couldn't have done this without reading this book. Thank you!!

Easy to understand for beginners. Only thing is that the book recommends subscribing to the Oxford Communique; DO NOT do that. There are much better journals to get info from that are cheaper and more accessible. Oxford Journals may have been the gold standard in the 80s/90s but their site is now too difficult to use.

I am extremely new to investing my hard earned money, after having it sit into my 401k with my employer, I took Mr. Roberts advice and rolled it over into my (new Ameritrade account I just opened). Now with that being said, I had 30 days to deposit $3,000 into my account in order to buy and sell trades. There was quite a bit of information on the login page and I got really intimidated and scared, AT FIRST, then I took two deep breathes and said to my subconscious, "keep going you got this". Of course I did. Now, to the newsletters he mentions about Oxford, OMG, I was on the site and they running a special to get alot of $99 dollars for the highest subscription which was regularly $249 and you get I believe it was like 4 or 5 bonus materials. I am interested but I think it may be a little to advanced for a beginner like myself. I need to allow myself to get familiar with the "trade" first before any of that material can be of any use to me. Now as far as the book itself by Mr. Roberts, I absolutely loved it and I am so excited to buy my first stock. I am also buying his other books Your Future Paychecks and Raises, and many more. I like how he simplify things for beginners, stock language that I can actually relate to by him using every day terms!!! THIS BOOK IS FOR BEGINNERS AS THE TITLE SAYS, SO IF YOU ARE MORE ADVANCED IN THIS FIELD, THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS INFORMATION

Always wondered what the stock market was all about and thought you might like to try it out? This will get you started, beginning with “what is a stock?”. Well written and easy to understand. You will be able to buy and sell by the end of the book with some basic ideas about WHERE to go to buy, WHAT to buy, and WHEN to sell. Perfect guide for your first steps.

I am a beginner in stock investing. Your book is excellent! Thank you for your direction and passing on knowledge. I never thought I would have the understanding of what it takes to invest in stocks but your book has given me confidence, understanding and knowledge to step forward and give it a try. I’m excited to get started even though I am 68 years old. It’s never to late to start and to move forward. Thank you for all your recommendations in your book and will continue to gain knowledge to learn more. SV
