Читать книгу Cotter On Investing - John Cotter - Страница 3

Nothing in this book should be taken as specific advice or as a specific recommendation to buy or sell a particular stock. Hopefully, however, much of what I have said will act as a catalyst to your investment thought processes.

Always remember that the value of shares can fall as well as rise and you can get back less than you invested.

During bad times in the market it may be necessary to remind yourself that shares can rise as well as fall. During 2008 I used to say this to myself as a daily mantra!

In the book I have used specific examples and prices to help demonstrate and bring to life the different principles and concepts involved. Obviously, the prices, ratios and charts were taken at the time of writing and will no longer be accurate, but are used to illustrate the principes involved.

At the time of writing, I own long-term investments in Medusa Mining, Tullow Oil, Communisis, Axis-Shield, Xstrata, BHP Billiton, Straight, Cookson Group and ASOS. Shares are also held on my behalf inside an employees’ share scheme in Barclays Bank, but not in any other shares mentioned in this book.
