Good luck, at least give it a try,
You must learn to crawl before you can walk. Start by reading "Investing For Dummies" or a similar introductory book - not "MBA books."
I am an engineering student and wan't to have more knowledge of business world. Which books will give me basic knowledge about shares and stock market?
The only prerequisite I have is a local savings account and an ATM card, and all I know is how to purchase a a soap from a shopkeeper or pay my bills online.I also have a TV with business channels or newspapers with business columns and I do not understand a single word they say.
To know how the system works do I have to read all the (MBS/BBA)business administration books. Or are there materials available that would guide me from the beginning.
Please provide elaborate answers and references/links if possible... Thanks :-)
