“Knowledge is power,” Thomas Jefferson said. So that investor might want to turn to the handy “Stock Market 101,” second edition (Adams Media/Simon and Schuster, May 7, 271 pages, $16.99).

For those familiar with Cagan’s work, it’s similar to the approach she took in the recently released “Starting a Business 101,” also from Adams Media.
