This book started as conversations with friends and colleagues. These are people who often work hard in order to earn their money, but at the same time often put very little time and effort into researching how to invest this money in the best way. Which means they are actually losing out on something that could potentially see their savings increase tenfold over time.
Isn't it fascinating that many people are okay with putting in a lot of time and effort in order to earn their money and even go to great lengths in order to reduce costs, but at the same time they don't mind losing out on the potential gain from investing?
what if it's possible to earn an 8 percent average annual gain on your savings?
what if this is easy to do and no speciality knowledge is needed?
what if this way of investing also happens to be the safest way to invest?
does this sound too good to be true, almost like a fantasy?
well it's not a fantasy, it's true.
In this book I'll cover all these things in more detail. How you can take control over your savings and obtain a good return in the process. And I'll show that it's relatively easy to do. There's no need to go to certain universities or to take evening courses. All you need to do is to learn certain fundamental truths about the stock market and then use this knowledge to your benefit.
This book is written for anyone who is curious about the stock market and who wants to learn how to benefit from it, but who perhaps lacks the knowledge and maybe even sees the market as something scary. It's written in a way that should be easy to understand for the complete beginner, without difficult concepts or complex graphs in order to make it as easy and accessible as possible.
