Long Term Approach 16 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently started share dealing on the internet, as a complete novice. After some initial success I made 2 terrible deals which cost me thousands. I decided to invest a few pounds in a book which could help me make better choices. While this book would have probably helped me avoid the two bad deals, it was not what I was actually looking for. This book explains ten ways to select shares which will perform in the long term ( 5 to 10 years or more ). This is not a book with advice on short term trading, I have recently purchased 'A Beginners Guide to Short Term Trading' by Toni Turner, there are many others of this nature. I have given this book 4 stars because the authors knowledge of stock markets is second to none, and there is excellent advice for those with money to invest. However, some of the 'ways' suggested are fairly complex and require some effort on the part of the investor. No bad thing, given my poor performance with my technique of 'stab in the dark'. To summarise, this book has excellent advice for those looking to select shares with long term growth potential. Those looking for help in turning a profit at short term trading, look at books with titles containing that phrase, or at least the word 'trading' in the title! Finally, for those thinking of attempting to make money from the stock market, i would advise you to buy some books on the subject first, and start trading with small amounts of money at first, to get some practice, without losing your whole pot!!

BUY THIS BOOK! 17 Dec 2011
By Chris
Format:Paperback
5 stars and a title of ...'buy this book'. Difficult to justify when I don't feel that this is an easy reading bed time book or particularly pleasant so why the rave review?

This book is prescriptive, it cuts through ALL the niceties and pleasantries and tells you what to expect and then 10 different methods to successful trading tailored to, I should think, all different personalities and types of people.

Hanging onto the tails of successful investors, finding those people or funds with exceptional long term performance and how to emulate them. Reviewing the charts/trends for a company over and using the business documentation to establish how this growth has occurred, sound business theory or a bubble type bull market?

Looking at the specifics of shares which perform in different markets, different capitalisations and different times and reviewing how they have performed and how you could have analysed them. Examples included profiles and discussions on Jessops, Filofax, Fortune oil etc etc.

A difficult review, yet at the same time the easiest I have ever had to do! This book is great and worth 5 stars all day long every day. If you intend on trading in stocks and shares then this is a MUST. Just dont expect to lay in bed and enjoy a 5 minute read!
