Stock Market Trivia: Special Section on the Weird Words of Wall Street is a non-fiction business/finance book written by Fred Fuld III. The author is a financial historian, author and collector of financial service collectibles, and he worked at one time as a stockbroker. While the author cautions that his book is not geared towards people interesting in getting into investments in the stock market, he does include much information that could be considered to be an introductory crash course. Stocks and bonds have been around for much longer than most people realize, and Fuld goes into the history of trading, including a picture of a financial cuneiform, and he continues with his financial history tour up to the present day, describing milestones and exceptional occurrences along the way. The second part of Stock Market Trivia contains a glossary of financial terms complete with definitions and derivations. He also includes a list of sources.

Fred Fuld III’s non-fiction business and finance book, Stock Market Trivia: Special Section on the Weird Words of Wall Street, caught my eye as I’ve often wondered if I could somehow parlay my interest in numbers and mathematics into a successful foray in the stock market. While acknowledging the author’s disclaimer about his work being used as an investment strategy guide, I did find that I finished his book knowing a lot more about the stock market than I had going in. I found the historical data Fuld presents to be fascinating and thoroughly enjoyed the wacky and off-beat gems he shares with his readers. And, along with the humor and trivia, I began to accumulate a modicum of insight into the vagaries of investing and a healthy appreciation for the pitfalls that await the unwary, the reckless, and the all-too-trusting. Stock Market Trivia: Special Section on the Weird Words of Wall Street is entertaining and informative; chock-full of tidbits of information that you’ll want to ponder, chuckle about and share.
