Get your slice of the economic pie and then some, in the UK and beyond

Investing in shares can help build anyone's financial standing—move over, economic elite! People from all walks of life can easily grow their wealth and secure money for the future. Investing in Shares For Dummies takes a friendly, non-jargony approach for new and not-quite-advanced-yet shareholders. This book walks you through the investment orchard so you can cherry-pick shares that will turn you a tidy profit (mmm, tasty.) You'll also learn to stay calm and ride the unavoidable waves of the markets. Over the long term, you stand to earn greater returns (translation: more money) than if you invested in real estate or bonds alone. And who isn't keen on the idea of more money?
