Publisher's Synopsis
Getting a piece of the stock market action can be tempting for novice investors. Tales of other people's gains can make you wonder why you are squirreling cash away in a safe but not especially profitable savings account when you could be buying into funds that could help your money grow much faster. But the first question to ask yourself before investing on the stock market is how you would feel if you initially lost money. To make the most of your money and your choices, educate yourself on how to make stock investments confidently and intelligently, familiarize yourself with the Internet resources available to help you evaluate stocks, and find ways to protect the money you earn. Also, be sure to do your homework before you invest in any company's stock. If you're committed to investing in stocks, keep the following points in mind as you make your choices and reap your rewards. After all, stock investing is fun and frightening, sane and crazy-making, complicated and simple - and you may need reminders to stay focused. Come with me.
