Management Library
Proud to be your research partner
"Does the library have any basic resources on understanding the stock market, or helping me with my investments?"
answer:
The library owns several books that explain the fundamental information that a new investor should understand, as well as the intricacies of specific investment tools. How Wall Street Works (or online) and The Standard & Poor's Guide for the New Investor are two examples. They cover the basics (e.g. What are stocks? What are mutual funds?) as well as how to find a good broker, how to analyze stocks, and how to succeed in online trading. Introduction to Equity Markets is another example of a basic investing guide.
Additional titles for basic financial market research include:
- Derivatives: An Introduction
- How Mutual Funds Work
- How the Bond Market Works
- How the Stock Market Works
- An Introduction to Bond Markets
- An Introduction to Capital Markets
- Understanding Swaps
- If you want to learn the basics online, many stock or investment-oriented sites provide guides for the new investor. The level of previous knowledge assumed differs across services. Sites like TheStreet.com, Investopedia and Yahoo! Finance, provide some of the most basic and comprehensive guides to investing.
