Publisher's Synopsis
Want to make money from the stock market? You're going to need a strategy - a clear plan of when to buy, when to sell and how to manage your investments.
The problem is - searching for the perfect strategy can be confusing. Who do you trust? And why do so many ideas conflict with each other? Unless you can stand back from the noise it can be difficult to work out a strategy that you can stick to. This book will help you do that - examining 7 different, proven strategies it looks at their advantages, disadvantages, how they manage risk and how much time they really take. No one wants to stare at a screen all day - so all 7 take less than an hour a week to manage. Some take considerably less time than that! Having read this book you'll have all the information you need to choose a strategy that suits you and will understand how and why that strategy makes money. What that means is that you'll be more comfortable committing to it and following it for the long term (rather than being distracted by every new bit of information you pick up) From the most passive strategies such as "Buy and Hold" and "Income Investing", to more involved strategies such as "Trend Spotting", "Mean Reversion" and Options Trading, each strategy builds on the last. Each strategy is set out step-by-step and compared with the others so that you can compare, test and confidently choose that one that works for you. In particular you'll learn:- What should you "Buy and Hold" if you follow that strategy? (See Chapter 1);
- How can you generate ongoing income? (Chapter 2);
- Can you really "time the market" for a better return? (Chapter 3)
- How can you minimise risk when investing? (chapter 4); and
- How can you make money even in a flat or falling market? (chapter 5)
