Debut book now available!
So many myths and stereotypes have grown up around the stock market that it can be difficult even for experienced players to distinguish valuable information from the hype that appears on the internet. What is more, knowledge known from publications written decades ago is already outdated today.
Therefore.
The book on the stock market had to be rewritten
After more than a decade of record low interest rates and massive stimulus packages, it would be appropriate to redefine the concepts of company debt and the cost of servicing it, and thus a company’s vulnerability to financial trouble.
The role of hard assets held by companies today is also completely different; production lines, machinery, etc. are increasingly proving to be a capital-intensive burden rather than an asset. Today, intangible assets, unique know-how and the ability to create economies of scale are becoming the real assets on the stock market.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and the reactions of governments and central banks have completely transformed the reality of stock valuations and distorted the relationship of stocks to bonds.
The effect of irreversible change can be seen not only in the authorities’ response to the pandemic, but also in the way we work, communicate with each other, shop or travel today.
Learning to analyse and recognise the growth potential of a company’s revenues or profits is key to being able to decide which stocks are worth buying in 2023, and in the years to come, in the post-pandemic reality.
And that’s actually what this book is about: how to professionally find, analyse and select good stocks and then build a professional investment portfolio out of them.
Just that – and so much more.
