Everything You Need to Know to Protect Your Future
Women must know how to invest their own money! In today's world of down-sizing, divorce, and dubious social security benefits, there's a good chance that most women will have to take care of their own financial needs at some point in their (7-years-longer-than-men's) lives.
Where can women learn the basics of investing? From reluctant husbands, doubting boyfriends, or fast-talking stockbrokers? A more comfortable and informative way is from another woman! This frank, unintimidating book clearly explains everything a woman needs to know to invest wisely for her own secure future.
Readers learn:
The language of money (what all those terms mean)
What the basics are: stocks, bonds, mutual funds, dividends, capital gains (and losses)
Why and how companies issue stocks and how to benefit from their (positive) change in value
How to find a trustworthy stockbroker and avoid scams
The fundamentals of choosing stocks (so you're not dependent upon your uncle's “sure-thing tips”)
Analyzing a company's financial health, tracking its progress, knowing when to sell
Special investments: IPO's, investment clubs, short-selling, buying on margin, and socially-responsible investing.
