    Description of The 10-week Flexible Investment Plan

    Investing in stocks and shares can be exciting but it's also a daunting prospect if you are new to the game. If they are to survive, investors need to be informed and flexible - or they can incur serious losses. This is the starting point for this handbook from Alexander Davidson, which offers readers a grounding in the basics of investing on the stock market. Davidson has constructed a "FlexiProgram", divided into ten sections for tackling step by step, with quizzes along the way to make sure the reader is up to speed. He also advises on an essential investing skill - how to interpret company accounts.
