Informative and Entertaining
"Decoding Wall Street" is perfect for the person who knows just enough to be dangerous and would prefer to be knowledgeable. In one sitting people simply can't absorb much more in terms of digesting Wall Street and all of its terms. The secret is to learn about the markets and build upon that information. With "Decoding Wall Street" the investor has an entertaining and informative book that teaches and explains. While this book is certainly of value to the do-it-your-selfer, the person who relies on professional help will find it invaluable. The next time you speak with your investment advisor representatve or financial planner, your glazed over eyes and blank stare will be replaced by knowing smile and a sharp wit. There is no substitute for understanding the concepts and the terms of the markets. This book does it.

Really helpful, and entertaining too
I bought this book at the same time I ordered "Rule the Freakin' Markets" last week, and they're both very useful in understanding this crazy beast called The Street. I found this one a little more helpful for someone like me--a journalist who has to write about the markets periodically but really isn't a very savvy investment type. This book is also quite funny and I found myself reading parts of it aloud to my wife. Highly recommended.

Great Primer For Novice Investor Like Me
The book is both entertaining and educational, light-hearted and informative. It's the perfect book for people like me who know a little bit about investing and Wall Street, who have an IRA and 401(k), but need to learn more in order to do it right and feel more confident about our decisions!
