Most people have heard of share millionaires, but the boring, time-consuming chore of researching stodgy company returns, turgid profit-and-loss balances and the jargon of the financial papers leaves most of us cold.

Yet without such gruelling homework, how can you know what shares to buy, when to acquire them and the right time to sell?

Well, it's not just lists of statistics and figures which help top investors to know when to strike. They also apply closely kept secrets that have little to do with business know-how, and which are based instead on fashion trends, pop psychology, human nature, hunches and timing.

Armchair Tycoon cannot promise to make you rich, but it is a treasury of invaluable hints aimed at helping you earn a profit from the big city, and it guarantees you won't need to be a financial wizard to understand them.
