My New Book: Stock Market Investing for Newbies is Finally Finished!!!

I cannot believe I am able to say this, but my new book: Stock Market Investing for Newbies is finally finished!!!  I found out first-hand that writing a book is a long and grueling process, but I’m glad I stuck with it all the way to the end.

Why Did I Write Stock Market Investing for Newbies?

I decided to write an investing book for newbies for five main reasons:

1. Too Complicated – Many of the stock market investing books I surveyed were 300 – 400 pages.  That’s a bit of a daunting read for anyone interested in getting started with stock market investing.
2. Too Basic – Several Ebooks available were also way too short.  25 pages for $1.99?  Are you kidding me?
3. Poor Explanations – I’m not the most experienced stock market investor, but I think I have a good ability to explain complex topics in simple language.  This seems to be lacking in many stock market investing books.
4. Poor Accessibility – Plenty of books have great information, but they jump around too much.  I tried to write Stock Market Investing for Newbies using a very organized approach.  This should also aid learning as there is minimal jumping around.
5. Prevent Stunted Growth – I wrote this book to prevent others like me from repeating my investing mistakes.  From not investing early enough to day trading, I’ve made a ton of bad investing decisions.  I think this book will help many get started on the best investing path to build their wealth and side-step many common investing pitfalls.

Stock Market Investing for Newbies – Fun Facts

Here are a couple of fun facts about my Stock Market Investing for Newbies book:

• 200 hours of work over 5.5 total months – I started the book in mid-January and have just now finished it in early July.
• 160 pages – The size of the page layout is 9″ x 6″.  I am pretty impressed that it ended up being this long.  I think the length is perfect for a newbie stock market investing guide – not too short or too long.
• 34,373 words – This is the equivalent of about 70 blog posts!  Wow!!
• 847 KB – This seems to be a pretty standard size as far as financial Ebooks go…
• 48 figures – Tons of charts, graphs, and tables for your learning pleasure!
• 85 glossary terms – The glossary took a very long time to compile, but it should be useful for newbies investors.
