The stock market can be a scary place when you are a beginner. There are lots of excellent books available to help you begin your investing journey, and this short course will help you understand what they are talking about. Contacting an investment advisor can be intimidating because they talk in a distinct language and it may embarrass you to show your lack of knowledge. Sometimes it is not about the answers but about knowing what questions to ask first.

The following pages give you a brief introduction to the stock market. We won’t be giving you specific advice or strategies but will concentrate on guiding a person with no prior experience through the process of deciding to create their own investment program, with or without the help of a professional.

The author brings over 50 years of business experience, 40 years of investing, many years as a licensed stockbroker, and almost 10 years as an income tax advisor to this short guide for you, the new investor.

Creating a savings plan is a fundamental piece of financial advice that we are all aware of. Assuming we followed that advice, or plan to, what should we do with this money? The stock market has been the primary vehicle for creating wealth for decades. By spending some time with this guide and continuing your own research, you will become a successful investor.
