Investing in the Stock Market: A Primer

Investing in the stock market does not have to be so confusing and painful. That is the premise of this great beginner's guide from Ivy Bytes, a unique group that is building clear and concise e-books that cut through the noise of a variety of murky subjects.

Drawing on the works of true titans in the field, like Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, and nobel-prize winning professors Eugene Fama and Kenneth French, this book summarizes the views of the true experts, rather than presenting the author's own "pet theories" for achieving stock-market greatness.

Two or three hours with this guide will have even a beginner well on their way to establishing an investing game-plan for earning returns that exceed those of the overall market.

Best of all, at the end of each chapter the authors include a "Further Reading" section where you can directly link to some of the most influential books, journal articles, and websites on the topic.

Investing in the Stock Market is a great primer on the subject for the beginning or intermediate investor. Start here, build your stock-picking foundation, and then go on to read more advanced works about your chosen strategy.

* The top 10 highest paying dividend yield stocks within the Dow, whether they have dividend reinvestment plans and what the stock price increase (or decrease) has been over the past twelve months.

* Whether you should reinvest your dividends or take the cash.
