Your First Purchase

By Mario V. Farina

The time arrives when you need to make your first stock purchase. This book gives you eight characteristics that your first stock must have; examples, "pays a regular quarterly dividend," "is listed on the New York Stock exchange," "has a P/E between 15 and 25," etc. Meeting these characteristics doesn't guarantee success but gives a good chance for this.
