Investing in shares can be highly profitable even with small amounts of money. For most individual investors it is probably the only way to beat inflation and build wealth. Investments in other assets like real estate or bullion require huge capital and are illiquid.

This book introduces the innovative Armchair Investing system to help you make money from stocks.

So, what's so special about Armchair Investing? Plenty:

• It's a comprehensive investment strategy with easy-to-follow rules for selecting the right stocks to invest in, rules for monitoring your portfolio, and rules for how and when to sell your stocks and exit the market

• It's simple. You don't have to be highly qualified or exceptionally "gifted" to profit from it. You need only some easy-to-acquire knowledge.

• It's a relatively safe method which recognizes that protection of capital is as important, if not more important, than making profits.

• The tools you need are all easily available — a few newspapers, magazines and the Internet.

• It requires no more than 2 hours a week of your time thus allowing those hard-pressed for time to invest with confidence of steady gains.

• It is an inherently disciplined and nearly automatic approach to stock investing which keeps emotional decision-making in check.

• It's market-tested. The author has successfully used this system for investing in stocks.
