A classic, for a reason.
Written by veteran financial author Nancy Dunnan (Tenth Edition, 272 pages), it walks you through the foundational basics that don't go out of style — how each option works, the risk words to know, and how to match them to your goals.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. This book is educational reading — not personalized financial advice. Tenth Edition (2009): foundational basics, not live market commentary.
