Conventional wisdom tells us that we can make our money do so much more by making some kind of investment with it. But between the complicated steps and restrictions of using the stock market and the stories of people who lost their entire livelihood on a bad investment, it can be a daunting first step to take for many. Sharing his considerable understanding of the financial space with readers, the author of this book strips away the mystique and mystery, explaining how the markets work, what function they serve, and how regular people with even just a modest budget can put money into a place where it can generate wealth and give them a cushion for emergencies or a comfortable retirement. Written for beginning investors, the no-nonsense, straightforward steps in this book will prepare anyone to begin their journey of buying and selling stocks, bonds, and more.
This manual assumes readers are starting out at step one and need guidance, which it offers without judgment or condescension. Recognizing how intimidated those getting started can feel trying to navigate brokers, exchanges, earnings reports, and more, each chapter of this book focuses on a single topic that offers a helping hand and instills the confidence one needs to take proactive financial decisions with money. Though there are plenty of technical breakdowns and explanations of how the market operates, especially now in the online age, the author does not fill his book with superfluous details but instead illustrates a deft understanding of how market forces operate. This enables one to see changes coming and make the right moves based on trends and conditions. This is a direct, accessible tool for the investor just starting out, answering questions one might not even know to ask.
