About this listen
Do you know what happens when the inflation rate is more than the interest you earn on your savings? You lose money.
Currently, the top rate you can earn from a nationally available savings account in the U.S. is 0.50 percent. On the one hand, this means that saving $10,000 will leave you with $10,511 after ten years–a mere 5 percent increase. On the other hand, with the inflation rate at 6.2 percent, this means that you are losing 5.7 percent of your money every year in real terms.
Inflation hurts savers because it erodes the purchasing power of the money they save. So, if your goal is to increase your wealth, you need to pay attention to investments that can help you beat inflation. And such investments are plentiful in the stock market. For example, the S&P 500 has delivered an annualized 10.7 percent growth rate for the last 30 years. This means that investing $10,000 in a fund that tracks the S&P 500 will leave you with $27,636 after ten years–a whopping 176 percent increase.
As you can see, unlike what most people believe, participating in the stock market is one of the best ways to grow your wealth and beat inflation. But to do so successfully, you need to educate yourself on how the stock market works.
In this book, Alex Smith takes the reader on an enlightening nine-chapter journey that expands on the following:
- Chapter 1: The History of the U.S. Stock Market
- Chapter 2: How the Stock Market Works
- Chapter 3: Understanding Indexes
- Chapter 4: Understanding Stocks and Stockbrokers
- Chapter 5: Understanding Funds
- Chapter 6: Trading vs Investing
- Chapter 7: The Modern World of Trading
- Chapter 8: The Modern World of Investing
- Chapter 9: Things You Need to Understand Before You Start Trading or Investing
This nine-chapter journey is designed to transform any stock market amateur into a semi-professional in no time.
As a seasoned investor and trader, Alex deftly explains the fundamentals of what anyone needs to know to successfully participate as an investor or trader in the stock market.
The question now is: Do you want to keep losing money, or would you like to learn how to grow your wealth?
This is the book to read if you answered “no” and “yes” to the preceding questions.

If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.
