try "The Five Rules For Successful Stock Investing" by Pat Dorsey. He is the director of stock analysis when the book was published. And this book is Morningstar’s Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market too. I myself find these five rules is so important in stock investing, especially for beginners who want things to get started. Well, that is just my review.
