I have that book and it seems to give a good grounding in the
way the markets work and how you can be an investor. I also
just took a book out of the library which I haven't had a 
chance to read, so maybe someone else will comment. It's called
How to Read and Profit from Financial News, by Gerald Krefetz.
From the table of contents, it looks like it gives you alot
more information that the other book. More of what are the
relevent factors in different markets than what the actual
details of the workings of the markets. Comments?

Also, can someone tell me the rule on having a brokerage account
while working for a brokerage firm? Can you only deal with the
firm you are working for? Thanks...
