    What "Investing for Dummies" should have been ..

    Having said that, this audiobook mentions everything else in the room, but never directly disuccess the elephant in the room. How to conduct trading is never directly discussed. If I keep this audiobook, it will be for the many internet references sprinkled throughout.

    Sad. This audiobook held great promise.

    Great listen

    The reader was very easy to follow and understand, his voice really kept my attention throughout the entire book

    Not actually for dummies

    There's certainly a lot of information in this book, however there was too much jargon that was used without an explanation of the terms. If you know absolutely nothing about the stock market, I personally recommend finding a book that explains things in greater detail for the lay.

    Very imformative! Great for anyone just starting.

    I purchased a few other audio books well acclaimed on the subject, but they tend to target pre educated audiences. After studying this book, it's much easier for me to follow the lingo of the other books I bought.

    Trading for Dummies

    Great book but somewhat dated on the technology side due to rapid technological improvement and changes since 2004 publication date. It needs to be updated and republished. Thanks

    No real good audience...

    The actual book is a decent introduction to the history, workings and practical rules and techniques of begining investment in the stock markets. It isn't great mind you - too much history, too little explaination. For the advanced or even slightly experienced trader - skip it. For the complete new trader, not enough details on many topics. Problem is, in the abridged audio format these shortcomings are taken to their extremes. If you have any experience then this is a waste of time. If you are new - you will be left with more questions then answers. The only person this book would be half way decent for in audio format is a novice trader that has had less then 3 months experience and has read other books and is looking for some renforcement of concepts while driving/running/etc. Honestly though...not sure who did the audio edit, but a good third of it is fluff - history/broker internal procedures, etc. - stuff that an actual trader may be interested in as entertainment but has no relevence on trading. The actual definitions, concepts, trend watching, etc. that someone needs to know are REALLY skimmed over. This was actually my first audio book - and I can say, my last "abridged" one. Save your money - buy the actual book.

    References were too old

    The book was nice and simple yet outdated. It references very outdated technology making much of the information wrong

    Outdated - Practically Garbage

    Do not waste your money on this hot garbage mess. The information in it is extremely dated. a lot has changed since 2007. Save your money/credit and go to Investopedia.com there is as much if not more free information available in comparison to this book. This may have been great in 2007 but this book not relevant any longer.
