1.0 out of 5 stars Not Sure I trust This Book, 20 Jan 2001
By tony@gilla71.fsnet.co.uk (Sheffield,England) - See all my reviews
Book was a Xmas present from my son. As it had Financil Times on the cover I assumed that this would be a reliable source of information.

It describes Earnings Per Share as the total dividends paid out by the company divided by the number of ordinary shares??? This is within chapter 2, and it frightened me as to whether the author knows what he is talking about.

Later in the same chapter it suggests that you can use up your full entitlement in PEPs (6,000stg) and you can still invest a further 3,000stg in a single company PEP. This detail was also in chapter 2.

Having read these 2 statements I became very suspicious of every thing else I read in the book. Which is unfortunate because there are some very interesting subjects covered which should give you a better understanding of how the markets and money work.

Maybe I picked up on the only errors within the book, but I can't be sure.
