    • 4/5
      I know little about stocks but they quite fascinate me. My husband knows a great deal and as I began to look at some reports he gave me on a few equities that I thought I might like to own a share or two of, I began to pepper him with questions: what's an EBIT? an ROA? an ROIC? What should the P/E be (see, I did know what P/E was, just not how to interpret it). So he gave me Fundamental Analysis for Dummies which I'm about half-way through and which answers many of my questions but has so much information and formulas that I feel as if I'm drowning. Still, it's a great resource and the explanations are clear enough so I don't ask him as many questions. I'm not sure I'm any closer to knowing what stocks to buy--but then again maybe the second half of the book will help!
