    About this audiobook

    There's never been a better time to get into stocks. New technologies provide tools and equipment for novices that previous generations of investors and traders didn't even dream of.

    The go-to guide for beginners, Understanding Stocks, provides everything you need to start out strong. From opening an account, to evaluating stocks, to making trades, it covers all the fundamentals-market language, players, rules, strategies, and environment-and helps you build a solid portfolio by developing the right balance between risk and reward.

    This updated third edition includes brand-new chapters on: risk management; identifying winning stocks; testing your trading strategy; Bitcoin and alternative investments; ways to read the market quickly and accurately; technical and fundamental analysis; and short-term trading and long-term investing.

    In addition, this comprehensive resource brings you fully up to date on pattern day trading rules and zero commissions; strategies for both bull and bear markets; the influence of computer algorithms; and preparing for the market open.

    You don't need a fortune to make a fortune. Michael Sincere explains everything you need to succeed as an investor or trader.

      Discipline Goes A Long Way

      Mar 31, 2022

      The life of a trader is not what most of us might imagine it to be – that is, glamorous, exciting and paved with gold. More likely it is solitary, private, a bit boring and, when done right, provides a living. We could all be traders. We could all be

      It seems that my intention to find a good entry level primer on investing in the stock market was successfully fulfilled with my purchase of Michael Sincere's Understanding Stocks. He begins with the basics and the early history of the stock market in America, then moves on to strategies and tools which are used by investors. I appreciate the author's candour as he advises that investing in the stock market may not be right for everyone and that there are other areas of personal finance which should be taken care of first. Easy to read and accessible, I highly recommend Understanding Stocks to anyone curious about investing.
