Hi Mike, The best way is to go to Borders or Barnes&Nobles, browsing the stock section books. What you need is an example follows each definition for the terminology. There is one book put out by the Motley Fools or you can try out their website: fool.com they have what they call fool school...It is amusing and good terminology definition with lot of examples. In the early sixty thru seventy when you opened an account with Merrilll they gave out a paper back of Stock Market: this is also a very good reference book. The author take an example that you invent the fishing equipments and take the company public... thru various phases and all the things happens to this company. I still believe it as a good book. You can call any Merrill branch and ask for it: it was written by one of their person. I lost it when moving from house to house. However, I still recommend you to spend a few hours at one of those super-warehouse bookstore and browsing books. Hope this might help you out....

Mike, there is an excellent book which explains in understandable, non-technical english, all the details about stocks, bonds, market cycles, trading etc. Lots of diagrams, callouts and CLEAR explanations. I have found it invaluable in understanding all the details we need to know. It has an incredible amount of useful info, I keep it right by my desk. It's usually in stock at Barnes & Noble, ands Amazon will have it too. The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money & Investing Kenneth M. Morris & Alan M.

Security Analysis by Graham and Dodd. This is a timeless book that is in it's 3rd or 4th edition (orignally written in the 30's). the latest edition was done in the 80's and I read recently it is being updated again. Of course it won't help you value "Internuts" but it is the bible for intrinsic analysis and valuation, the traditional methode for valuing securities. Most large booksellers carry it.
