BOOK LOOKS BRAND NEW.......2007-05-21
HAVENT HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE BOOK IN DETAILS, BUT I LIKE JUST HAVING IT WHEN I HAVE A QUESTION, I KNOW HAVE A RESOURCE TO FIND THE ANSWER.
walks you though .......2007-02-19
I got it for a friend and she really has leared from it. We are in an investment group and she was new to it.
okay.......2006-08-28
its okay but to simple. The good thing is you could skip around for what ever you need to look up
Outstanding!.......2006-08-04
As a novice investor, I wanted a book that covered all of the basics in detail. This book was exactly that! I wasn't looking for a book that was loaded with ratios and technical data; This book covered everything from determing your risk factor by analyzing your current financial situation, approach, analyzing markets and companies. The basic fundamentals were discussed in detail and also included the important technical aspects of investing with very basic and straight forward examples that were very easy to understand.
I would and have recommended this book to anyone who is looking to invest in the stock market. I liked the book so much I'm going to read it over again.
I would also recommend that seasoned investors read this book just to reinforce the basics of investing that they might have forgotten over the years. Review of the basics is very important in any industry.
I learned the basics........2006-07-26
I learned alot about the basics of stock investing..terms, definitions, etc. It's good for that.

Book Description
If you’re like the majority of the estimated 12 million employees in the U.S. who have stock options as a key component to their compensation packages, you have a vague notion, at best, of how options work and what they can mean to your financial well being. What’s the vesting schedule for your shares and how will their strike price be set? What type of stock option grant will you receive, an ISO (incentive stock option) or an NQSO (non-qualified stock option)? What tax rules apply to your option program? Your financial future could depend on your knowing the answers to these and other questions regarding your company’s stock option plan.
Confused by all the brouhaha surrounding stock options? Let expert Alan Simon demystify this often-confusing investment vehicle for you. Featuring clear explanations of how your stock options might make you money—or not—this friendly guide fills you in on what you need to know to:
- Understand different types of stock options
- Read and find traps in your stock option agreement
- Evaluate the pros and cons of company investment vehicles
- Assess vesting schedules and tax laws
- Tap Web resources
Simon demystifies the jargon, rules, and tax consequences of stock options. He provides a realistic picture of what to expect from your options, and he helps you see past the hype to understand what your employer is really offering. Important topics covered include:
- What you need to know before accepting a compensation package that includes options
- Developing a stock option philosophy and clear-cut goals
- Knowing whether you’re being treated fairly by your company
- Making sense of the language of stock options agreements
- Getting a handle on key restrictions on how you exercise your options
- Stock option valuation
- Tax rules and how they apply to different types of options
- How stock options can be affected by changes at your company
Stock Options For Dummies is the only guide you’ll need to get the most out of this important investment vehicle.
Customer Reviews:
Misleading title.......2007-05-07
This book is aimed at employees elegible to receive stock options in the company they work for from their employer.
It is NOT for investors wishing to buy and sell stock options through a stock broker.
Author response to "misleading title" complaints.......2006-03-21
First, disregard the 5-star rating. *I* think the book is good of course, but that's not why I'm writing this comment.
To the two recent reviewers who complain that the book isn't about puts and calls but rather about ISOs, NQSOs, etc. - look, I'm sorry for your inconvenience but if you had taken about 2 minutes to skim the table of contents and the editorial review on the amazon.com page ("...your company's stock option plan..."), you would CLEARLY see what type of stock options this book discusses. In fact, taking less time to do so than it took you to write your complaint-reviews and give the book a poor review would have saved each of you $20 or whatever the book cost you.
So my sympathies to you for your misspent $, but come on: blaming the author and publisher for your own haste and, further, feeling the need to do so publicly on an amazon.com review with one- and two-star rankings? (At least the other reader who did the same thing back in August, 2003 had the courtesy to give a 5-star ranking because of the reselling experience on amazon.com to rectify his/her error.)
I sincerely hope that if you do begin to dabble in puts and calls - the other kind of stock options - that you do so with much greater care than you took in making your respective book purchases. Otherwise, you should really think twice about that side of the investing world.
To the one reader who is looking for a beginner's book about the other kind of stock options: see "Futures and Options For Dummies" by Joe Duarte. But do your homework first before buying!
Title misleading.......2006-03-21
I was misled by the title of this book am disappointed. This book is NOT for individuals who want to take their investing to the next level and start trading options on the open market, as I had expected -- rather, it is for people who are offered stock options through their employer.
If anyone knows of a good beginner's book for trading stock options, please clue me in.
Book has the wrong title.......2006-01-01
I wanted a book that went through the publically traded options market.
Almost everything in the book deals with employee stock options.
There is very little information about trading options on the open exchange. The real title of this book is "Employee Stock Options for Dummies".
Good book + Free trading.......2005-10-30
This book is especially good for the person who wants a broad overview of investing. It will give you a solid foundation to begin growing your money from. After reading, I opened a Scottrade account because they had the lowest rates ($7), and no inactivity fee. [...] to get a referral for 3 free trades.
Average customer rating:
- Good as Always

Customer Reviews:
Good as Always.......2007-03-25
Helped pass the Series 3 license, and helps with understading the industry.
Not much help for option trading.......2007-01-25
If you don't have a lot of money to invest, don't think seriously about reading this book.
not for dummies, but for serious traders.......2006-11-04
I would assume people who read this book would be the ones who already have good experience in stock trading. The author did a good job in explaining the macro-economic factors (money supply, interest rate,...). You have to get good understanding on all these before you can do good in future trading.
The author also did a good job in describing complicated topids in a simple and clean way. He is writing the book base on his experience and insight. He definitely is the kind of person who knows a lot and also know how to teach you things in a simple form.
A future in options.......2006-10-28
This author has explained concepts and strategies which I have used to make money. One trade, 100% return in one month, another 40% in two days!
This is the reason I read this book, to make money. No one should try to make money in options based on simple formulas. One must have a deeper understanding of how things work. Duarte has a firm grasp on this concept and ably communicates to his reader.
Particularly helpful is the section on recognizing trends and getting ahead of the curve. His 'Developing Strategies' does help the careful reader avoid pain in the market. Also helpful are his ten killer rules.
Futures and options trading isn't for the faint of heart. Useful information contained in this book offers information needed to have confidence in developing a trading plan that you understand and can make work. This is very useful indeed.
A very credible tome on a subject written with obvious insight and judgment that can only come with experience.

Customer Reviews:
A Great How-To.......2005-09-23
A great book on all aspects of starting a club. This is just what some friends and I are doing now - and I am so grateful that this book is available. It serves as a step-by-step "how to". Plus, it has great information on avoiding pit-falls and keeping club life fun and interesting.
Great Way to Get Started........2005-07-21
As usual with the 'For Dummies' books, this one takes it easy. You can read it pretty quickly, it starts out quite simply and builds slowly. You don't think you're getting as much information as you are until you've finished.
Again as usual, this book is written by a couple of people who combine personal experience with a casual relaxed writing style. (For what it's worth, I've tried writing like this and it isn't easy.)
Most of us thinking about investment clubs already have some investing experience and think that we might be able to teach the club a lot. Most of us learn that the other people in the club can teach us a lot. Investment clubs attract the advanced amateur who bring specialized knowledge, their own experience, and above all enough questions that you might have forgotten to ask to make it well worth your while.
Great Way to Get Started.
Clear, concise and compelling.......2004-05-17
I just got through reading a number of books on investing. I had heard of the investment club movement. I did not know much about them. This book is a gem.
True to the series, it does have a gentle learning slope; there is nothing overwhelming, no challenging concepts. But it does break down the process of starting and running a club into clear, manageable pieces. I now want to start a club!
The investment philosophy is compelling. I would certainly encourage anyone interested in starting an investment club to read this book.
Investment Clubs for Dummies: Clear, Thorough, Enjoyable.......2002-08-17
This book answered all of the questions I had about investment clubs. Written in a casual, easily accessible way, this book gave precise and detailed information about founding or finding a club.
In the book, you'll learn about what work is actually involved with club membership; tips on assembling a group of committed people to be in a club with (plus tips on how to deal with troublesome member issues); and how to find and use investment and investment club resources to learn more about investing and to help keep your club running smoothly.
Whether you are simply interested in what investment clubs are and how they work, or you are serious about starting or joining an investment club, this book is a clearly written and fun way to learn about clubs. By going through each step of starting or becoming involved with an investment club, by dissecting the language of the legal documents your club must maintain, and by providing examples of actual investment clubs, this book covers it all, and will be an invaluable resource for the life of your club.
Investment Clubs for Dummies.......2002-03-19
If your looking to start an invesment club - This book is a MUST have! Already have an invesment club - This book is a MUST have! It will prove to be helpful and informative for new and existing clubs. This book along with information provided by the National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC) will help clubs become successful, long-term investors.

The fun and easy way to manage-and get the most out of-money
The quagmire of debt that 3 out of 5 Americans experience can be directly attributed to a lack of financial common sense. Many students are not fully informed of the importance of financial responsibility. Increasingly, people do not spend within their means, relying instead on credit cards. And few save enough to cover emergencies, let alone retirement. The Personal Finance Workbook For Dummies helps individuals and families learn to spend, save, and invest wisely. This practical, hands-on guide walks readers through a private financial counseling session, using worksheets, checklists, and formulas to assess financial health, provide for one's day-to-day financial management, make smarter financial decisions, and invest for financial growth. Topics covered include goal-setting, determining financial net worth, budgeting, savings, college planning, affording a new home, investing for retirement, determining insurance needs, and more.

Stock Investing Finally Explained.......2005-02-01
This book is simply great. After trudging through a myriad of online 'help' sites, I came to the conclusion that I needed to start at the beginning. That's where this book shines. If you really have no idea what stock investing is all about, this book explains the how and why from step one. The author goes further than simple stock trading basics to cover the bigger picture. He covers all aspects of financial planning in a very big way. I highly recommend this to the person who is wondering what all those tickers mean at the bottom of the news screen.
