Format:Paperback
Firstly, the correct title of this book is "The New Investor's Toolbox: Using the right tools to fine tune your financial future" which is much clearer.
Having invested the traditional way for the past year, I had recently started to become curious about some of the jargon being banded around on various bulletin boards (i.e. short selling, CFDs, options, futures, spread betting, etc.) Like most people, I found much of the aforemetioned a little intimidating, especially given the allusions to "betting", etc.
This super little book demolishes all the myths and demonstrates that the alternatives to traditional investing are not complex or necessarily lead to potential financial suicide. The authors explain clearly and succinctly all of the above and more, identifying potential pitfalls and how to avoid them, opening up a whole new exciting world of sensible investing possibilities.
The authors provide ample information to get started but also point readers in the right direction for any additional information that they might need. All in all, an excellent buy for new and experienced investors.
Format:Paperback
This book is a must for everyone who wants to invest their money! The author goes though different instruments available to private investors these days. He explains in an easy-to-understand language how these instruments work, gives examples. This book does not tell you how to make millions, but it does give you that basic and fundamental knowledge on how to protect your capital, how to understand risks and how to act sensibly. A very good starting point for those who want to make money!
