The learning is in the failing. Successful investors don't concentrate on picking big winners; instead, they work on minimising risk and avoiding losses. Having lost over $1 million through his own investing errors, John Addis invites readers to learn from his losses. Errors include falling in love with a stock or a charismatic CEO, selling too soon as a stock continues to soar, misunderstanding the business model and not responding to obvious red flags. Whether you're new to the sharemarket, looking to learn from a master, or an active investor seeking to better understand stockpicking behaviour, this book will not disappoint.
