I'm new to investing in the stock market. What books would you recommend to become familiar with investing?

Answer 1

You are right. You need guidance before entering the market. You don't have to spend a dime to learn how to enter stock market. Visit the site below to learn the share market for beginners.

Answer 2

Hi, Dion,

I'm sure many will disagree, but I think you could get by with two:

Investing for Dummies -- to teach you the basics of what stocks are, what stock exchanges are, how to buy and so on.

A book I myself wrote on income investing. All I'll say here is that you can go below to try out a free ecourse on income investing.

You must also decide on what your goals are -- and therefore where you time line is.

To my mind, you should get into the stock market only for long-term goals such as retirement.

If you just want to park some spare money or save for a house or vacation or wedding, stay out of the stock market. Put your cash in a money market account.

best, Rick
