Información del libro
How do equity investments work? How do you trade on financial markets? What are stock market indices? What strategies can be used to invest in equities? Questions such as these are becoming increasingly common in the age of global markets. Today, investing on your own has become easier from an operational point of view, but the world of finance remains difficult and complicated for the uninitiated to understand. For the first time, a comprehensive and accessible guide shows you the theoretical and operational principles of the subject. In this practical handbook, you will discover the information you need to really understand what stocks are, what are the basic operating strategies in the markets and what are the main mistakes to avoid if you are just starting out. Readers will learn step by step how to deal with stock markets, how technical and fundamental analysis work and what the implications of money management strategies are for their investments. But at the same time, this guide is also a path to discovering one's own nature as an investor, to finally begin to understand what you can get out of stock markets.
