Big Money, Little Effort: A Winning Strategy for Profitable Long-Term Investment

by Mark Shipman

From the best-selling author of the Next Big Investment Boom, this book provides everything you need to know about making the world's money markets work to your advantage, enabling you to turn basic investments into a winning portfolio. Big Money, Little Effort shows you how a straightforward, manageable and stress-free investment system, if properly applied and monitored, can protect you from the volatility of the world's stock markets while ensuring consistent returns on your original investment. In an industry awash with different (and often very vocal) opinions, the author removes the mystique that often surrounds stock market investment and explains his own tried-and-tested system for managing your investments - a system that can be operated and maintained in a short amount of time, once a week. The book includes a glossary of financial terms and a list of further reading resources. Whether your investment is large or small, Big Money, Little Effort is the essential guide if you want to make positive returns from the stock market.

A book about investing using attempted market timing and trend following strategy. Loads of words to describe very little content. Although an interesting read, its written with a bit too much confidence and factual-ness for an investing book imo. Not sure I'd waste your time bothering. Saying all that it's fairly well written and engaging.

Spare some time and don’t read it. The hole book is about using moving averages (30,50) to predict indices movements, nothing more. It could have been written on just one and only page.

Very basic.

one of the best introductions to trend following that i have come across. he explains things incredibly well and has financial data to back up his assertions.

Unhelpful. Got this following Andrew Craig’s recommendation in ‘how to own the world’. Really poor
