Providing practical and proven general investing maxims, ‘Taming the Money Sharks: 8 Super-Easy Stock Investment Maxims’ is for smart investors who need honest investment advice without having to learn investing lessons the painful and hard way
Based on his own battlefield experience and lessons learned from friends
and co-workers, Philip S. Cheng, author and former Chief Investment
Officer of MetLife Taiwan, knows all the games the “money sharks” play.
In his definition, “money sharks” are: investment advisors, fund
managers and other hucksters out to line their pockets with your
hard-earned cash.
In Taming the Money Sharks: 8 Super-Easy Stock Investment
Maxims (Wiley; ISBN: 978-1-118-55042-7; June 2013), Cheng
offers first-hand investing accounts and an organized approach for
helping small investors to clearly and systematically win in the
“shark-infested waters” of the stock markets.
According to him, statistics have shown that only 20% of individual
investors consistently make money in the stock markets. “I observed that
the reasons investors, as human beings, lose money have many common
reasons, and they almost always suffer from the same pitfalls,” Cheng
explained.
Distilling from general investment rules, Taming the Money
Sharks provides eight down-to-earth strategies for dealing with
ongoing uncertainties, allowing investors to modify their actions to fit
their own personal profiles. What’s more, this 218-page book is packed
with comical illustrations and actionable tips for easy reading,
especially for those with little time or patience in dealing with
typical investment jargons.
The book not only helps investors alleviate their investment suffering,
but the lessons drawn from the stories throughout the book provide food
for thoughts which are beneficial to readers for life.
