THE NAKED INVESTOR : Uncovering the Secrets of the Australian Financial Markets

What you need to know about . . . stocks, bonds, ASX, options, derivatives, dollar-cost averaging, Dow, currency, momentum, dividends, NASDAQ, floats, hedging, mergers, short-selling, venture capital . . . and what the hell is a leveraged buyout anyway?

'The Naked Investor' is not a book of investment advice. It doesn't offer sure-fire tips for playing the share market and it won't tell you how to amass a fortune in futures without raising a sweat. This book proceeds from two surprisingly novel ideas: 

1. If you plan to invest in financial markets it s a good idea to understand how they work; 

2. You can do it without boring yourself into a coma.

Cha Bowman offers an entertaining and accessible introduction to the hard facts of finance, explains the topical oxymoron corporate ethics and adds some amazing cautionary tales of financial stupidity and skulduggery into the mix.

'The Naked Investor' - more fun than you would normally associate with using your money wisely.
