An Introduction to the Stock Market and Investments by Rod Davis
The stock market has changed more in the last few years than it had previously over its entire history. Investing today is driven by technology, which can be both a blessing and a curse. It is as if faster computing speeds compel people to faster trading. But that is a mistake. The market has always favored long-term investors over speedy speculators, and it has never favored those who have not learned the basics. What is the stock market? What is a stock? How does the economy affect your investments? What types of accounts can you set up? What are your rights as an investor? There are many books that teach trading strategies, but few that encourage you to lay a foundation before you put money into building on it. This book will teach you what you need to know before you invest.
Davis, Rod: - Rod Davis is the recipient of the inaugural Fiction Award of the PEN Southwest Book Awards in 2005 for Corina's Way, described by Kirkus Reviews as a spicy bouillabaisse, New Orleans-set, in the tradition of Flannery O'Connor or John Kennedy Toole: a welcome romp, told with traditional Southern charm. He also is author of American Voudou: Journey into a Hidden World, selected as one of the Exceptional Books of 1998 by Bookman Book Review Syndicate. A six-part series on the Texas-Mexico border, A Rio Runs Through It, appears in Best American Travel Writing 2002. His PEN/Texas-award-winning essay, The Fate of the Texas Writer, is included in Fifty Years of the Texas Observer and his Texas Monthly story, Wal-marts Across Texas, is excerpted in True Stories by David Byrne. Davis has received numerous awards as a magazine editor and writer. He earned an M.A. in Government at Louisiana State University and studied at the University of Virginia before joining the Army in 1970, serving as a first lieutenant in South Korea.
