Value Investing For DUMMIES?
I'm 14 and i'm reading this book to get ahead because I plan to attend a top ranked business school. I am almost finished with the book and I have collected a lot of information. What is another book to branch off of that is not too complicated, but more strategic and advanced? This book was excellent and made more complicated concepts easy to understand. Now that I have the basic understanding it's time to upgrade.

- good going! pleased to hear there will be another generation who actually want to think for themselves in the financial world. try this paperback: "The Successful Investor" by William J. O'Neil it's probably in your local public library. *** O'Neil founded his own brokerage house after making enough money by investing to do so. He also founded the Investor's Business Daily newspaper [I'm a subscriber]. *** After that you'll be near ready for "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" by Van Tharp. This you'll probably have to buy. Get the second edition, not the first. do NOT begin trading or investing until after you've read Van Tharp -- he'll give you the reasons behind some of the rules stated in O'Neil and Dummies. {i'm a customer of Van's, too}
- Hey I'm 14 too and I'm reading The Neatest Little Guide To Stock Market Investing by Jason Kelly. I must say, this book has cleared up a good bit for me as well, however, since you want something more complex I don't know if it will work for you. If you want to get deeper into value investing, PLEASE, get The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. It is one of the best stock investing books ever written. If you change your mind and what to enlighten yourself upon growth investing, get Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, by Philip Fisher. It is the best growth investing book ever written. I assure that both of these choices are great. However, go check out Amazon.com and read some reviews to get a better basis of your options. Good luck to yourself (as well as myself, I am really trying to make a profit in the stock investing universe)!
