Consider "Understanding Wall Street" Your Best Initial Investment, 2007-10-23
The New Design Chair Company may not make today's investors turn on their heels and take notice. But, throughout it's storied existence, its done what few companies could do: introduce the basics of investing to generations of investors.
For nearly 30 years, readers have followed New Design from its humble beginnings, through the attraction of venture capital, and eventually to the breakthrough of going public. And, the details of that journey are just the first few pages of the Jeffrey B. Little and Lucien Rhodes classic, Understanding Wall Street.
Want to understand how Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs took Apple Computers from an idea in a garage to one of the most innovative computer companies in the world? Want to see what steps Bill Gates took to build Microsoft into the world's biggest software company? Want to know how Google went gone from fledgling internet company to a NASDAQ company with shares trading at $600 per share? Start with understanding how the New Design Chair Company went public.
As an investor, if you want to find out how to identify the next Apple, Microsoft or Google, then the rest of Understanding Wall Street is definitely for you. Throughout the rest of the book, Little and Rhodes fill in many more details and make the complex ideas behind financial markets, financial analysis, investment choices, and investment vehicles accessible. In everyday language, they cover basic investment concepts and theories at an introductory level, yet they are also complete enough and concise enough for anyone to read and get a thorough, top down, view of Wall Street. It may very well be the perfect book for someone looking to build a solid understanding from which to start investing.
In the late 80's, as a neophyte investor, I picked up more than I imagined I would from Understanding Wall Street.
In the late 90's, as an industry professional, I frequently turned through the pages of my tattered old 3rd edition for a great review from time to time.
Today, as an adjunct professor, I am still amazed at the book's scope and ease of understanding. And, I find myself recommending Understanding Wall Street before, during, and after it's apparent that 50lb text books don't always carry their weight.
The book's newest edition is nearly 40 percent updated with revised and new material. It includes two new chapters, strategies to uncover valuable investment opportunities on the internet, and an analysis and explanation of our most recent bear market.
If you have the slightest desire to learn about the world of investing, Understanding Wall Street just may be your best initial investment.

A Manual To Clear The Waters of Understanding., 2007-10-14
Jeffrey Little and Lucien Rhodes' treatise "Understanding Wall Street" is a very valuable guide for the neophyte desiring the critical knowledge of how the financial nerve center of North America operates.
Rich with historical insight, this guide details the origins and subsequent transformation of some of the world's most prominent stock exchanges located on the street synonymous with wealth and power: Wall Street.
To that end the guide is easily readable and understandable. Complete with examples, explanations, and a comprehensive glossary I found the guide to complete and fill a hole in the much needed understanding of the financial facet of comparative government and civic theory studies.
I rate the text at five stars for providing a lot of information at only 300 pages. This review refers to the 2004 Fourth Edition.

 Not what I had hoped, 2007-10-10
I had hoped this would be a clearly written and interesting explanation of the general workings of the stock market for someone who has never really understood it. But it goes into far too much detail, defining every little term and process. Maybe it's just a subject that cannot be made interesting or relatively simple, but in any case, this book does not accomplish those things.

Understanding Wall Street, 2007-04-06
The first time I read this book was 20 years ago and was impressed with its thoroughness and ease in understanding. I teach at a junior college and offered the students an opportunity to learn a little more about investing that was not covered in their text. This book was complete enough to cover most of the topics and condensed enough for them to read considering their limited free time.
