Reviews
Brown, a financial journalist who writes in the popular press, has been a financial relations consultant. Here he targets investors who are looking for big returns and willing to take risks. Brown recommends small caps (stocks that have capitalization under $1 billion) and IPOs (companies making initial public offerings of stock). Although these companies are more vulnerable to market swings and cash-flow problems, they are also more agile and have greater earnings growth potential. The author further details the advantages these companies offer and explains how to identify, research, and evaluate them. He also warns how to avoid scams that are sometimes associated with this type of investment. In addition, Brown provides basic, solid advice on mutual funds, reading annual reports, choosing a broker, investing by computer, and the tax consequences of investing. Appendixes list market indexes, investment newsletters and services, discount brokers, and small-cap mutual funds. David Rouse
Brown, a financial journalist (Nation's Business, World Traveler), has written an informative guide to the basics of small-cap investing (investing in companies with total capitalizations under $1 billion). He explains that such investments, though riskier, provide greater potential for growth than investments in larger, better-known companies. Chapters are devoted to doing research, initial public offerings (IPOs), international investing, using brokers, evaluating financial statements, scams, investing by computer, and taxes. Appendixes list various stock indexes, newsletters, and advisory services; regional and discount brokers; and small-cap mutual funds. The clear writing style makes this book ideal for beginners, but its wealth of information on small-cap investing will benefit more experienced investors as well. Recommended for most public and academic libraries with collections on investing.?Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ. Lib., Harborcreek, PA
