Success in the stock market - Dermod Joseph Sweeney

The Internet has greatly empowered the ordinary investor to succeed in the stock market. Investment through both funds and individual shares is covered and the book describes how to manage a portfolio effectively through serious market volatility. The book fills a serious gap in the market; it covers making best use of information and tools available on the internet; essential lessons from the 2001 and 2008 crashes; striking the best balance between funds and shares (many fund managers consistently 'beat the index'); how to select them and time the market; some advice on how to trade; why the USA index futures are so influential; and managing a stockbroker (if you can find a good one). Importantly, it deals with the preservation of capital and risk management.
