Читать книгу Starting With Shares - Roger Kinsky - Страница 8

When it comes to share investing, I want you to trust yourself and not think you need to rely on others such as share investment advisors. Many people feel like ‘dunces’ when it comes to share investing — even those with a good education. This means people often rely on investment advisors or share advisors who they believe are experts in the field — and who usually charge a hefty fee for service.

However, from my own personal experience, acquired over 50‐odd years of share investing, I have found that the results don't always justify the cost. In fact, my most disastrous share investments occurred as a result of following recommendations. Now I no longer act on advice without first putting it through the ‘grist of the mill of my own mind’ and coming to my own conclusions.

I wrote this book so I could explain the basic principles of share investing in a way you can understand so you won't need to seek ‘expert’ advice. Believe me, most ordinary people have the necessary nous to be successful share investors once they grasp the basic principles. If you ignore the hype and jargon, ‘it really ain't that hard’. You won't always be right and not all your share investments will be profitable, but you can take heart in the fact that no person and no computer program can make profitable predictions about shares that are always right.
