parkdad73 | What is a good book for a starter (completely naive) investor? |
I opened up a small account for my wife because I want her to get somewhat excited (at very least, know what do do if I die) about money. I bought Jim Cramer's Sane Investing in an Insane World book which I was going to give her at Christmas, along with the brokerage account. Should I look for a different book? |

If you want her to learn the basics (and even a little more) of investing, I would recommend "Investing for Dummies". It's completely educational and doesn't blow smoke up your hoohaa about beating the market or becoming a millionaire in two years. It tells you everything from how to buy stock to explaining exactly what a stock is. It also explains different types of investments (companies, real estate, mutual funds, retirement accounts, etc.) and who should invest in them. I would totally recommend it for anyone, even if you know a little about investing. I guarantee you'll learn something in this book you didn't know. |

I would start off with this DVD its called THE SECRET. Its about the Laws of Attractions, and it talks a lot about money and life and it really changed the way I think about things and is worth looking into.

There is nothing to talk about. Hands down, the very best book about investing, and financial techniques, is Ric Adelman's "The Truth About Money" It is very readable, not dry at all, and covers every single topic you can think of. You can get it here. http://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-Money-3rd/dp/0060566582/sr=1-2/qid=1165410935/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-2826545-6885762?ie=UTF8&s=booksinsuranceforu-20 |

"The Investing Bible" by Lynn O'Shaughnessy.
It's a good read. Educates you on every type on investment- spelling out the pros and cons.
Very good reference book. |

Personally, I think Jim Cramer is King Yahoo, but I know there are thousands of people who disagree with me. I think that the better choice would be to subscribe to Money magazine. Most books on investing are a bit on the "dry" side, and your wife will probably lose interest quickly. By subscribing to a magazine, it's less of a time commitment to read a magazine, and that particular magazine is geared to investors at all levels.
Good for you, already thinking about your wife's Christmas present! Your reward will be great in Husband Heaven! ;) |

"The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko will teach you more about attitudes of "true" self made millionaires than anything I've seen in a while. A lot of thought to ponder here. |
