Poor title, sound content.

[Ashok Krishna · Rating 2 out of 5]

As the title suggests, this book is for dummies. And only for dummies. If you are planning to become wise by reading this book, please look elsewhere.

A book for dummies is supposed to handhold the novice reader and show him the ropes starting with the basics. But this book is for people with prior and proper knowledge of financial markets and their functioning. Too much of jargon and technical complexity in there pages. I could only skim through most of the pages. Dry and dull writing style. This book is definitely not for the dummies who don't want to stay so!
