    About this ebook

    As they say ! A penny saved is a penny earned, and the younger you start, the faster your money will grow. This is whole premise on which people invest their money. The money you earn now will not be sufficient later and will diminish in value in a few years time. Investing in stocks, mutual funds and other such instruments will help your money grow and give you good returns.

    In this book, my aim is to take you through a variety of investment options like stocks, ETF's and Gold etc. I also discuss how much of risk is there in these investments.
    -Individual Stocks
    -Mutual and Index Funds
    -Precious Metals
    -Real Estate

    And more!

    It's time to take control of your money and your future, but first, you need to know to make money from money.
