I, like most people know what stocks are, I know what bonds are, and I know where to purchase them if I want to, I know how to research them to maximize the likelihood of success. Derivatives, though, I had no clue what they were, what they did, or why I would want them. When a colleague was discussing Derivatives with another colleague, though, my interest was piqued, and I went in search of more information. I am thrilled that I found Mr. Northcott's book.The author of this book, Alan Northcott, is not only a professional in the financial filed, but he has excellent communication skills when it comes to bringing extremely difficult and complex information to a regular person without a degree in economics. After reading `The Complete Guide to Investing In Derivatives: `How to Earn High Rates of Return Safely' I feel like I am able to understand what derivatives are, how they work, and more importantly, why I should invest in them.Mr. Northcott does an extremely good job of explaining this very complex subject. His writing skills are top notch, and he has a wonderful ability to explain things in terms that a novice like me can understand, but yet still offer insight to those who are already well versed in Derivatives. I appreciate that he took the time to explain the history of derivatives, and I appreciate the fact that he didn't make me feel inferior because I didn't know anything about them when I started reading. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking more information on Derivatives or to anyone wishing to diversify their portfolio with derivatives.
As the economy shifts and changes, people are looking for new ways to invest. Trying to grasp the concept of Derivatives was like trying to speak a foreign language, until reading this book. The author is obviously coming from a place of experience, rather than theory, and brings real life advice on not only understanding how derivatives work, but also how to put this intriguing investment idea into practice.After explaining exactly what derivatives are, the book even covers putting a plan into place, along with tips and strategies for success. If you are seeking a new way to invest, diversify, or expand your portfolio, then this is your book.
I remember being in college and overhearing the students in the trading club discuss derivatives, stocks, trading, and investment forecasts back in the day. Had I read The Complete Guide to Investing in Derivatives back then I imagine myself not being too intimidated to join in on that discussion.This book was pivotal in laying down structure and terms associated with market and stock values, and how they can make a huge return for you. I haven't yet had the bravery to dive in and try it for myself, but my confidence is way up. When I read the latest outlooks I feel knowledgeable and "in the know" with what's going on. I am sure that in no time I am going to be bringing in the big bucks.The words of the author, Alan Northcott, just brimmed with expertise and free-flowing knowledge, which he was able to succinctly communicate with the reader. What seemed like a complicated and impossible area to learn about now seems second-nature, and I have The Complete Guide to Investing in Derivatives to thank for that.
Admittedly I had a limited knowledge of the subject before I read the book, and listening to people discuss derivatives sounded like they were speaking a different language entirely, but now that I've completed it I feel I finally understand what is involved.Derivatives have the potential to be a confusing subject but this guide gently takes you by the hand and walks you through everything you need to know. The author's clear, concise writing helps you to assimilate the concepts quickly and painlessly. The case studies sprinkled throughout the book were also invaluable in further reinforcing the information with real life examples.I genuinely feel as if through these pages I absorbed a semester's worth of derivatives education from a top notch college. I really cannot recommend this enough to those interested in derivatives. Whether you are a novice or already have some experience with the subject you are sure to gain valuable insights into the topic.
This is the second ot Northcott's books that I read. His books are very good because he explains well on a difficult subject
