I have read many books on the stock market including the "dummy" books. Toni Turner is so much easier to understand and explains the markets and trading in terms you can understand while teaching you the jargon. It's the jargon that throws people off and makes the market hard to understand if you don't know the usage or terms of "stock market speak". If you've ever wished you had someone to just explain to you in simple terms what the market and trading are all about you have to read this book and any of her other books. The author has lost money and made money and continues to make her living in the markets and we profit from her experiences.
