A good place to begin - By: A. M. Turner, 07 Mar 2008
I wish that I had read this little book a long time ago; & this reallly is a little book, only 14 x 11 cms, 138 pages. But its conciseness is very much to its credit. In this slim format Alvin Halll manages to give the lay man, or woman, a thorough & balanced introduction to the world of savings & investment. He tells you the best way to save money. And then he shows you the optimum way to make your savings grow, always carefully weighing risk against possible advantage. This is essential knowledge that alll too few of us possess.

If you want to understand how the stock market works; if you don't know the difference between a gilt & a corporate bond, or a unit trust & an investment trust; if you don't know what a broker does or how to approach one, then this is where to find out. Alvin has a gift for making financial matters seem manageable, straightforward & sometimes even fun.

I was in an investment group for a year & reallly didn't understand what was going on. Having read this book, now I would. It is a primer. It is for beginners. But we alll have to begin somewhere!
