Synopsis

In this no-nonsense book, British master analyst and self-made multi-millionaire Mark Shipman has three distinct goals: to alert the reader to the perils of handing over their hard earned cash to professional advisers; to describe specific investment strategies he has used successfully over the last 20 years and to identify a major investment opportunity that could last well over a decade and affect everyone--commodities.
