An understandable publication that contains the right stuff!

It has taken a lot of time and money to find the book that would help grow my understanding in the stock market, investment trusts and the like...and I have finally found it. Alvin, in his true light-hearted way, introduces the subjects well and more importantly uses simple examples to demonstrate how each concept works. From definitions of Cyclical Stocks to Price Earnings ratios to PEGs to Unit Trusts, this book covers all the basics and gets you to a stage where you feel you can pick up a Financial Times or an Investment magazine and actually understand how to read the detail. It has certainly given me cause to go out there and try my hand at the stock market, and indeed I am now starting to understand the other books that I have previously bought which initially were too mind boggling to understand. Thanks Alvin for taking the time to write a book that explains the subject in plain English. I look forward to any future publications you may write on the subject.

Its like talking to Alvin, himself over a cup of coffee!

This is my third book about understanding the stock market and shares and I wish this was my first! Very easy to read as Alvin comfortably slides along an annedote to each market component, how they function and most importantly, how to use them and real options. There in nothing complicated in his lessons over a coffee and an incidentatal chat about unit trust, its pros, cons and so on. He allows you the space to think about what is right for individual needs. You feel confident in the backbone of knowledge he outlines in simple and tidy speach.

A perfect balance between technical detail and the events

A great read for any non-financial minded person as well as those with more experience in finance. Lowenstein mixes technical detail with the actual events perfectly making this an easy to read book.
