Book Description

October 22, 2007

Discover the Single Most Important Action for Young Adults to Secure Their Financial Future!

All too often, investors make investment decisions without understanding the numbers. This book blends concepts and computations, and is premised on the understanding that it is extremely hard to be successful in the stock market without knowing the numbers.

We cover three distinct investment themes:

* Stock strategies

* Fundamental analysis

* Technical analysis

The flow is important. Read it in order. As your understanding grows you can jump around within the major categories. We're emphasizing throughout the book that the SECRET to making money in the stock market is a by-product of executing a disciplined investment style.

Stock Strategies

Chapter 1 is the starting point and most comprehensive chapter; it is the foundation of investing. Your strategy narrows your investment choices to a manageable number and instills a controlled approach to your trades.

Fundamental Analysis

Chapters 2 through 10 will assist you in the execution stage of your strategy, thereby ensuring that you understand what you are buying. The early chapters of Fundamental Analysis, Chapters 2 through 5 are the building blocks crucial to investing. At points, these chapters sound like an accounting text book. Accounting is the language of business - when investing in a business you are buying into a business - therefore it is essential that you understand the lingo. Chapters 6 through 10 provide the analytical and investing knowledge necessary to be successful.

Technical Analysis

Chapters 11 through 17 are an introduction to trading techniques that are the foundation to many winning investment tactics. Remember, this is only a short book. It's a starting point in your investment education. It's meant to be a reference guide, to be read and re-read as you profit from the stock market and enjoy the fruits of your investments.


Editorial Reviews

Review

Stocks 4.0 is a How-to-Book, giving you a step-by-step approach to investing in the stock market. I wrote it for the sole purpose of helping young - and young at heart -- investors navigate through the stock market while using basic but innovative concepts.

My focus is on the three components of investing: Strategy, Analysis, and Timing. Utilize these topics to increase your knowledge and confidence when investing:

Investment Strategy

Your action plan to accumulate wealth. I explore 22 proven and successful strategies ranging from Value, Growth, and Momentum to Contrarian and Turnaround styles. I present the pros and cons of Penny Stocks and IPO's (Initial Public Offerings) and also discuss timing techniques, like the of Election Cycle Theory and other strategies used by the professionals.

Fundamental Analysis

The in-depth study of a company in order to determine its value and future performance. My easy to read, step-by-step approach ensures that everyone understands fundamental analysis.

The essential nuts and bolts fundamental concepts are comprised of:

* 10 Income Statement Investment Concepts

* 10 Balance Sheet Investment Concepts

* 5 Cash Flow Investment Concepts

* 7 Shareholders' Equity Concepts

Technical Analysis

The application of stock charts to predict the ebbs and flows of stock prices. It is based on the belief that reactions fall into repetitive and predictable patterns, which can be measured by using charts and graphs. I discuss exactly how to evaluate and interpret chart patterns and how to incorporate mathematical indicators into time transactions.

Making Money in the Stock Market

My primary goal is to assist you in making money in the stock market, not on how to find the most popular stocks. The end goal is to profit from owning stocks, not to own stocks for the express purpose of accumulating them.

Your key is to find good companies with inexpensive stock prices which offer cash dividends or price appreciation potential. I connect investment theories to the practical applications of buying and selling equity securities, for the sole purpose of showing you how to make money in the stock market.

Also available for your read is my Investment Handbook for Young Adults, which is a What-Is book, that lays out the differences in available investment choices; such as, what is a stock versus what is a bond etc. Topics include bank savings, REITs, treasury securities, government agency securities, derivatives, funds, and annuities, among others.

To your successful investments,
