Description

Allen B. Clarke, 20-year veteran of the Canadian investment industry, uses a powerful combination of professional expertise, personal experience and first-hand observations to expose the stock market for the potentially lucrative and exciting place it is. Not just another how-to book, Allen Clarke's Adventures in Investing disputes long-held assumptions about how aggressively first-time and veteran investors should trade, the wisdom of using risk to develop a financial plan, and how to construct a core portfolio. Clarke's light-hearted yet realistic approach demystifies personal investing by taking a close look at reasons to invest, the serious ramifications of being unsuccessful and how playing the probabilities can be a rewarding alternative to taking risks. Providing useful resources like web-based calculators, and a 100-point quiz, complete with answers drawn from the real-life experiences of other investors, Clarke gives the potential investor the means to employ important concepts that are crucial to his or her future success. Allen Clarke's Adventures in Investing is also an illuminating manual about how to pick stocks, and how to trade wisely. Clarke's six rules to trading supply you with a helpful guide. When combined with his innovative approach to investing and his collection of investment stories and advice from some of Canada's most noted investors, the keys to success are in your hands. (2000)
