How this book can help
Making money demands effort, whether working for a salary or investing. You get nothing for nothing. Anyone who tells you the stock market is an absolute doddle, and money for old rope, is either a conman or a fool. And the proof of that became very clear with the stock market depressions starting in 2007. But doing a bit of work does not necessarily mean heavy mathematics and several hours every day with the financial press, the internet and company reports – though a bit of all those is vital – but it does mean taking the trouble to learn the language, doing a bit of research and thinking through what it is you really want and what price you are prepared to pay for it. At the very least that learning will put the investor on a more even footing with the people trying to sell.
