Читать книгу Starting With Shares - Roger Kinsky - Страница 11

You're probably wondering how far we're going to go and what you really need to know so you'll be able to make a success of share investing. You can access a whole heap of info about shares — in fact, I reckon you could spend the rest of your life going through what's available and you still wouldn't have touched all of it.

‘How can I hope to compete?’

If you try to learn too much, you can easily become overwhelmed and reach the point where you do virtually nothing — known as paralysis by analysis. So I'm not going to try to take you to an advanced knowledge level about shares. If I tried to do this, the book would end up being a tome and you'd be deterred right from the start. So I'm going to take you only as far as you need to go to become a successful share investor. You can acquire the rest as you get into shares, or if you're sufficiently interested, you can obtain more advanced knowledge later on.

The really heartening news is that you don't actually need to be very savvy on all aspects of share investing to be a profitable share investor. Some really simple and successful strategies have been devised that focus on only a few key issues. If you are faced with a choice of strategies, I suggest you choose a simple one in preference to a complex one that requires heaps of information or the use of sophisticated computer algorithms.
