## Description

This comprehensive guide from the Financial Times offers in-depth insights and expert advice to help readers navigate investing and financial markets.

Review: Upon reading this book I realised I was unprepared for investing - This book comes at the subject of investing from every angle, products, tools, terminology etc etc. Some topics would need a separate book to do them justice i.e. share valuation/options trading but the foundations are presented, at the very least in each case. Can't believe he packed so much diverse subject matter into one easy to read book!! I have read as far as IPO's (and glanced at the remaining chapters). If constructive criticism can be given, I would like to see a little more portfolio management/allocation, possibly extra discussion of financial ratios i.e. WACC. Definitely worth the money.
Review: Very well written - Despite the book being very up to date, it lost some relevance straight away for me as the CV19 economic collapse happened the week after I bought it. But despite this, it gives a very good explanation of the ins and outs of investing, how the financial system works and nice detail of all the different financial instruments along with worked examples. One of my favorite parts were the FT article snippets from recent years giving real world examples of different financial events. My least favorite part is that it only went into detail on how the London Stock Exchange and AIM works. I would have liked to have read about other exchanges such as NYSE, Xetra, Tokyo SE among others. Also the author regularly plugs a certain website that he contributes to, which is fair enough, but I want to learn about investing not about opinion piece websites. It's a really good introduction to investing and also serves as a reference material to have within arms reach for when needed. I'm currently considering getting another book from the author "Lessons on Investing From Master Traders" - seems like a good next step in the learning process.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Assessment a bit tricky
*by W***S on 29 June 2023*

The book has excellent reviews. It is long because it is detailed - which I wanted. I have read bits & am impressed. As somebody said it is basically a reference book - which again suits me. I am glad that I knew quite a bit before getting it - it's not a beginners guide.
