Stock Market Investing for Beginners
Marcus Rice · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Jim Rising
47/100
👎 Skip It
Four hours gives this one more room to breathe than most of its peers, but the subtitle's promise to 'beat the market year after year' is the kind of overselling that should make you skeptical of a self-published guide with no verified financial credentials behind it. Jim Rising's narration is serviceable enough to carry the longer runtime, but the content underneath doesn't earn the extra length.

🎙 Narration: fine Unabridged ~4hrs, part of a consistent narrator/author pairing across Rice's catalog, but no specific quality signals found.
