Hey guys..

So I am ordering the book in the title. It seems to get a lot of good reviews and I see it recommended a lot in here as well. I have it in amazons shopping cart ready to go, I just wanted to know from those of you that have read it if it is good for a COMPLETE beginner? I have read that it is good for beginners, I am just trying to get an idea as to if I should have somewhat of an understanding of the market before reading this one.

This is going to be my first book on stocks. I have no problem buying a different book to read that may lead up to this one (if it would be more beneficial for me), one that teaches the basics and how the market works. Any recommendations? I appreciate any help in advance!

Mike

PS/Cliffs I am ordering this book regardless. Just looking for the 'go-to' book for a complete beginner interested in stocks. Thank you!
