I am looking for a good, fairly easy to understand, book on stocks. Topics of interest are: 1. What are the different types of stocks? 2. Which types pay dividends? 3. What does owning stock in a company actually mean (do I own a certain percentage of the company)? 4. Etc. Please send mail. Thanks so much, Joe P. Wro

I'm interested, and I suspect many others are as well. {allegra,amd70,cbosgd,dsd,dual, harpo,hpda,ihnp4,megatest,nsc, oliveb,sri-unix,twg,varian,VisiA,wdl1}!fortune!mbr

An interesting and very readable book on the technical aspects of playing the stock market is: The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing, by J. M. Hurst, published by Reward Books (a division of Prentice Hall), and was priced some years ago at $3.95 for the paperback edition. Joseph U. Grauman AT&T-Bell Laboratories whuxg!jug
