This book provides an introduction to the world of investing. It teaches readers basic information about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and asset allocation. The subject of investing can be very confusing to the general public, and the author does a good job of simplifying the subject in plain English.

The author points out that no one really teaches us how to become investors. In schools, students are taught subjects such as English, poetry, math, and history. While these subjects are important, we as a society are poorly educated about managing our money.

I would not recommend buying individual stocks after reading this book, but it is a good start for anyone interested in investing.
