The inaugural edition of this book, penned in 2003, was a comprehensive guide to investing in the Indian stock market, yet its appeal crossed international borders. It garnered global popularity due to its:
– User-friendly approach, as indicated on the cover, that demystified the complex world of stock market investing. It was crafted with the assumption that readers were novices in the realm of stocks, company law, finance, and commerce.
– Unique ‘extra’ insights that are rarely found in other investment books and are not part of business school curriculums. Relying solely on textbook knowledge will not equip you with a comprehensive understanding of the markets. Markets are shaped by news and information, and the two are distinct. This book imparts the skill of interpreting news in the light of historical context and even includes some history lessons!
This perspective resonated with readers globally, as expressed by one reader about the first edition: “I recently discovered your eBook ‘How to Invest In Stocks’, and I must say, it is an exceptionally well-structured primer to the markets! Even though your book is tailored to the Indian market, its principles hold true for any market around the world (I work in both the UK and France). I wish I had stumbled upon your work many years ago! It’s a captivating read…”
This thoroughly revised second edition stays true to the original concept but boasts a global perspective, updated insights, and new chapters. In the present day, the once-daunting task of stock trading has been simplified due to digitization. For the majority of investors, it is akin to other online purchases. While this book does guide you on how to buy/sell stocks online, the ultimate guide to their use will be provided by the stock-trading service provider you choose. This book, however, offers a wider viewpoint. Read more.
