Whether you're in your early twenties and looking to begin a lifelong investment plan or in your sixties and wanting to make some extra capital work harder for you, How To Make Too Much Money 2e offers sound and sensible advice to Australian investors.

Following the success of the first edition, Jimmy Prince continues, in his clear, conversational style, to guide novice investors through the world of making money by solid investing. This new edition is fully revised to include updated examples, a new section on get-rich-quick schemes, the changes announced in the Ralph Report and the implications of the GST.

The book's focus is on the share market, but fixed-interest investments, superannuation and collectables are also discussed and evaluated in simple non-technical language. The author guides you through the many investment choices available and each avenue is analysed in terms of benefits and costs.

This popular guide provides a solid, jargon-free reference that encourages you, the personal investor, to consider the risks and develop an investment strategy that best suits your individual situation.
