Who it's for
That Thing starts at the very beginning for those with no advance knowledge of the subject. Yet experienced investors are likely to be surprised at how much they learn from this little book. Do you know why a stock might go down, not up, when the company announces good news? Or how a hidden expense called the spread costs you money when you buy and sell stocks? Improve your results by gaining a more thorough knowledge of investing.
What you'll learn
The book is divided into three parts. In Laying a Foundation you'll learn about how money grows — compounding, the rule of 72, the effect of inflation — and why higher rewards always come with greater risks. In The Investor's Toolbox, you're introduced to stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other categories of investments, as well as different types of investment accounts. Building a Strategy explains the key principles of investing that are taught by the experts, and shows how to put them in action. Whether you're managing your 401k account at work, setting up your own investment account, or simply seeking to understand whether your advisor is doing a good job, you can use this book to obtain the financial literacy you need for a lifetime of investing.
