A Do-it-yourself Guide for Amateur Investors
Bernice Cohen is a self-taught investor who plays the markets from her suburban semi. Inspired by the stream of correspondence she received from her investment column in "The Mail on Sunday", this book sets out her investment programme and explains the "Fastergains" concept.
Using her staircase approach, the author shows readers how they can put in place a financial plan to meet the needs of today and of the future. She helps readers to assess their present financial situation and then to look to the future and the possible financial demands this will entail.
Spanning two centuries and across three continents (Europe, America and Asia), the author provides a fascinating history on some famous and not so famous financial events. Beginning with the 1720s Mississippi and South Sea Companies to the great global crashes of 1929 and 1987, Bernice Cohen provides us with a strategy for tracking market trends and cycles, and protecting our investments against the next financial crash.
