This book combines the uses of microcomputers with investment as a profitable and interesting hobby. Investors will find numerous programs which can be entered immediately on any popular computer. But the book is more than a collection of programs - it is an excellent guide to investment for those who cannot tell a bull from a bear. Knowledge of investment opportunities becomes increasingly important as more organisations compete to divert investors" money away from building societies into areas such as unit trust, investment trusts or stocks and shares. Even in the traditional areas of buying and selling shares, new trends are emerging such as the unlisted security market and traded options. You need to make the best choice for your particular circumstances, and this book (plus your computer]) can help you. You"ll quickly learn all the jargon, and find out how to do all of the calculations that were once the province of professionals. The Financial Times and similar publications will hold no more mysteries, as you"ll soon be on equal terms with the professionals in your understanding of investment terminology and principles. You can also find out about tax efficient investment schemes.
