I think they meant it when they said completely.

This is not just a how-to book. Or a strategy book. But a complete description of what you are dealing with in the book. This has all the technical descriptions and examples. This book also has, “Did you know this", gray boxes. For example:" Bet you did not know. More certificates of deposit mature in April and October any other time of year."

I found some fundimental notions to be a usful tool for the navigation of stocks and mutual funds. I however had an older version of the book (mid 1990s), so the current money trends of that time were far out of reach as compared to the 21st century Western bearish market. I didnt find the basic nessessities needed to be that of a shocking secret, however it was of use to review the past knowledge of economics 101 and money investment ideas. What was that saying that Dexter said in 'Dexter season 1"? Oh... "There are no secrets in life, just hidden truths waiting to be revealed beneath its surface'.

At this point in time only an idiot would buy a guide to Wall Street...or open an account with Washington Mutual. :(
