Second Edition.
The first edition of this best-selling introductory book on the sharemarket, was first published in the bull-run when every one thought they could buy and sell a few shares and retire rich within a matter of months. Now with the world markets unnerved by terrorism, the threat of war and sensational corporate collapses the funds are showing negative returns and people are horrified to receive their superannuation statements showing their nest-eggs steadily losing value.
This fully revised and updated second edition answers the simple questions such as: What are shares? Is buying shares risky? And how much money do I need to start investing?
