If you aren't familiar with a Dead Cat Bounce, Triple Witching Week or Naked Option, you'll learn all about these terms and more after reading this book. While these may sound funny, they all refer to real-life Wall Street concepts that both the seasoned investor and novice will undoubtedly encounter in their financial future. This book is like a travel guide through the Wall Street labyrinth, and it untangles complex ideas in a surprisingly straightforward way. Whether you utilize a broker or manage your money independently, this book will help you take control of your investments and maximize your financial success.Nora Peterson says her book is designed to "stimulate the reader's curiosity, not overwhelm it," and that is exactly what she does. Many stock market shows are so fast-paced that all of the fancy verbeage is lost on people who aren't familiar with even the most basic stock market terms, and it can be frustrating to attempt to learn anything from them. It is also comforting to note that she herself is an experienced investor and knows what she is talking about. Peterson writes that she had trouble getting over the "intimidation hump," which is a feeling we can all relate to when dealing with the foreign language of Wall Street slang. By the end of the book, you'll be remarking to friends about the tremendous success of your latest Sleeper stock or how a Bear Hug squeezed a deal out of a certain target company.This book was surprisingly easy to understand and follow. It's fun, and you can pick it up and put it down whenever you want. It doesn't require a huge time commitment but is invaluable for anyone involved in the financial industry.
