There's a lot of good information in this little book, information that could save you a lot of time and anxiety about investing in the stock market.
Here it is in a nutshell: There is a difference between investing and speculating. Don't speculate with money you can't afford to lose. Don't pay anyone to predict the market. No one can. Invest in a broad based mutual fund with low or no fees. Live long and prosper. That's it. If you'd like to send me a few bucks for helping you out, feel free.
