Back to basics

Deservedly in its second edition, this book is a highly readable work which will prove an invaluable introduction to the stock market for trustees. Written by former Times journalist Rodney Hobson, this book gives beginners a greater understanding of how the City of London operates.

The work begins by outlining what shares are and shows how to make sensible decisions on which companies to invest in, sifting the mine of information that is published through the stock exchange. The author does not pick shares for readers, but tells them what to look for and how to look for it.
