    About this ebook

    Are you thinking about investing in the stock market? You are in for a great time – if you do it right. Making a choice to invest money now, be it for a steady income, or a big payoff sometime down the line, is a wise decision. At the end of the day, you don't have any guarantees that there will be enough money to send your kids to college or for when you retire. There's no guarantee that your pension is going to be enough for you to live a comfortable life. By investing now, in the right stocks, you can have that nest egg to spend on whatever you want.

      Stock Market Investing - Glenn Nora

      Introduction

      Are you thinking about investing in the stock market? You are in for a great time – if you do it right. Making a choice to invest money now, be it for a steady income, or a big payoff sometime down the line, is a wise decision. At the end of the day, you don't have any guarantees that there will be enough money to send your kids to college or for when you retire. There's no guarantee that your pension is going to be enough for you to live a comfortable life. By investing now, in the right stocks, you can have that nest egg to spend on whatever you want.

      As a beginner, you might be hesitant to make the leap into the stock market. I don't blame you as it's a scary place, and it's no place for the nervous, either. A stock market is a daunting place, and if you don't know your way around it, it's easy to get lost.

      That's why I wrote this guide; to give you a path to follow. My intention is to walk you through the basics, the ins and outs of how the stock market works, what the different investment types are, everything you need to know to decide if investing in the stock market is the right choice for you.

      Join me on this fantastic journey, a journey that can lead you to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
