Provides a broad overview of the mechanics and transactions of the stock market, covering every aspect -- from its history to its products. Describes how to buy stocks, how the order is transacted, odd-lots, arbitrage, pyramiding, options, futures, and more. This edition features approximately 40 percent new material and has been updated to include information on new communications in both listed and over-the-counter markets. Coverage of options and index trading has been increased extensively, and chapters on technical and fundamental analyses have been revised to incorporate newer methods and new material on indexes and compliances.
Whether a long term investor, or not, one needs to know the mechanics of markets. This is where the speculators and short term investors lurk. Use this book as a text book for study and not necessarily to be enjoyed for the ease of reading. You have to have it.

The title of the book suggests no bias or agenda for the work. It simply adopts the title of a very broad and complex area of commerce as it's own name; The Stock Market. The book offers a basic understanding of many aspects of the 'Market'in a way that the un-initiated can understand. Anyone looking for help in selecting a sure path to riches will be dissapointed. Anyone seeking an understanding of the basics, and how various aspects of the 'Market' relate to each other will be rewarded.This book deliveres knowledge and understanding without bias. It can serve as general reading material or as a reference. It prepares the reader to select and understand other material.New editions appear when the 'market' changes enough to warrant new material. The content is up to date without being padded by trendy but useless material.Cliff Critchettend of review comments
A Very detailed Primer.

Although this book is an introduction as well as a reference, some knowledge of stock market is assumed. The author often uses technical terms without defining them in the chapter(although there is a small dictionary in the back). If you have traded once or twice before, you should know at least some of those terms.
