Danielle Ecuyer has distilled her four-decades of global share market experience into this handy guide to investing in the share market.
In
Shareplicity, she takes the complexity out of share investing, explains concepts simply and in plain English, and provides go-to steps to start investing. With property prices continuing to climb to even more unaffordable levels, and interest on cash in the bank at all-time lows, more and more smart investors are looking at shares.
And
Shareplicity is a great place to learn about share investing, whether you are new to the markets or an existing investor.
Here's why:
- Shares have consistently produced above average long-term performance
- You don't need large sums of capital to start investing in shares
- There are no hassles or stress over debt and mortgages, no tenants and no maintenance costs as there are with property investing
- There's potential for capital appreciation and income streams.
Whether you're saving for a deposit, a holiday, the kids' education or a comfortable retirement, share investing offers the flexibility and ease for anyone at any age or stage in life.
