The Stock Market Course, 1st Edition, George A. Fontanills




Avoid costly trading mistakes with this workbook that tests readers' investment knowledge No one enters the stock market in the hopes that they may actually lose money on their investments. Sadly, most do. Avoid expensive trading blunders with this hands-on workbook designed to test readers' investment savvy. Developed by a popular stock trading instructor, The Stock Market Course Workbook quizzes readers on their knowledge of the concepts presented in Fontanills's The Stock Market Course. Because mistakes are costly in the stock market, this accessible study guide provides readers with the opportunity to trade "fake money" before risking their real assets in the market. The invaluable lessons learned in this workbook could save readers thousands of dollars in investment mistakes.

For years, a good friend of mine has been bugging me to learn more about the stock market. Well, I finally broke down and decided to start my learning process by purchasing a good book on the subject. I was overwhelmed to find a zillion books on subjects I was too intimidated to even try to pronouce, never mind understand... Then I found George and Tom's book, The Stock Market Course. I opened it at random to see if I could make heads or tails of it. To my amazement it was easy to read, consise and to the point, and covered everything from A to Z! These successful traders/superb writers have written a book that enables just about anyone (including me) to learn how to make their way into the complex world of the stock market. I especially found value in the "Roadmaps" at the end of each chapter that provide an in-depth synopsis of the material covered as well as helpful ideas for web sites I can visit to learn more. For the first time in my life, I can listen to business news and understand what the analysts are talking about. And let me tell you, it is an empowering feeling, especially for a woman. For anyone who is ready to have the markets demystified once and for all, READ THIS BOOK!

Most books I have found on this subject are written by writers, not traders. This one is written by experts in the field. The book was well organized and was great for all types of traders, from beginning to expert. One thing I did like was how Fontanills and Gentile described the trials and tribulations they went through to learn what worked and what didnt in the stock market. A MUST READ for anyone that wants to break into the field of stock and option trading.

This book is good since it covers overall stock market basics. However, a beginner stock trader will need more focused stock trading strategies to make it in this game.

Stock trading keeps getting competitive and the stock market doesn't care if you are experienced or a newbie stock trader. The rules and the opportunities are the same, so either youre going to make money stock trading or you are going to lose it in favor of the more seasoned ones.

As a stock trader your homework is all about studying and testing different market strategies that will help you take advantage of stocks and at the same time protect your investments. Just always keep in mind that a good strategy is simple and practical. Complicated stock systems will always make you slow in your decision making process or confuse you from the start.

There are some very good sites on the web where you can access practical trading strategies that are easy to implement. One of those sites is Profitable Stock Market ( ProfitableStockMarket com)

They focus on short term stock trading tactics that can help you identify and handle stocks while reducing your trading risk.

All in all, stock market trading is all about picking the best stock opportunities and following your buy and sell signals with ease and simplicity. Once you learn to master your trading decisions, you can aspire to produce consistent profitable results.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seriously looking for a good book on how the market and its many facets work. The book is correctly named, it reads like a textbook from a 101 college course and it even has a companion book (sold separatly) to "test" your knowlege of what you read in the textbook. Bottom line - easy to understand, thorough, informative. Will provide good general understanding of the stockmarket.
