How To Invest In Stocks V Subhash

The first edition of this book (written in 2003) was about investing in the Indian stockmarket but it remained popular around the world. This was because it: was, as the cover says, a plain-English guide to investing in the stockmarket. It assumed that you did not know anything about stocks, company law, finance or commerce.had some useful 'extra' information that you will not find in any investment book and no business school will teach you. Mere textbook knowledge will not help you understand the markets. Markets are influenced by news and information (there is a difference). You need to know how to interpret the news with historical context. (This book also teaches you some history!)

This is why one reader wrote (about the first edition): "I recently came across your eBook 'How to Invest In Stocks', and just wanted to let you know I think it is a very well written introduction to the markets!... Although your book obviously in tune with your home market in India, it still works very well for any market around the world (I work in both UK and France). I wish I had come across your paper many years ago! It's a great read..."

While this completely revised second edition retains the original premise, it also has a global focus, updated information and new chapters. Today, the once-obscure task of stock trading has become trivial, as it is entirely electronic. For most investors, it is only slightly different from many other things they buy online. Although this book does show how to buy/sell stocks online, the stock-trading service provider you finally choose will have the best guide to their service. This book has a broader perspective.
