Book recommendation for learning about investing

Workerbee999

Can anyone recommend a book to help my 18 year old learn about investing. He has shown an interest that I would like to encourage but although I have picked up a lot of great tips from this site I’m not confident in being able to start from scratch - eg what does buying a fund or bond actually mean. I also want him to develop his own views of risk etc without it being filtered through my own views.

it would need to be a fairly engaging, easy to follow book though, he won’t plough through a manual.

 Thanks

If the people writing the books on investing know so much ...how come they are selling books ?

You have a point where the authors are writing books on such topics as  'How to be a crypto millionaire in 90 days' or 'Build your housing empire from £100' but not where they are writing on such topics as 'how does compounding work' or 'what is an index tracker'. I suspect the OP is wanting books on the latter.

Notepad phil...You are indeed correct thanks for expanding on the point .

Its important to know a great difference exists when buying books which is my point although blunt as it was .

Research is a great tool especially at a young age .

When you find a suitable book then show the kid that with the research principle its alot less....on Ebay than amazon  and even less if your lucky locally elsewhere .
