Stock market for beginners? I remember how embarrassed I felt later!

It was my first "investment". I felt so grown up!

I was just out of my teens, living in a single room with a pet alligator. I had £20 in a savings account at the main branch of one of the largest London banks.

Imagine this place: dark burnished wood, glittering brass, muted glow from multiple chandeliers, a ceiling many stories in the gloom abovea place where whispers seemed more appropriate than normal conversation, where staff glided from place to place as if wearing slippers.

I called the manager from a pay phone. The manager! Of a place like a cathedral! He answered the phone himself. No gatekeeper: here was the Big Cheese himself!

"I have some money," I said, "and I want to invest the entire amount. What do you recommend?"

I had no idea until years later when some were brokerage clients of mine that most bank managers know virtually nothing about stocks. I just expected that since banks dealt with money their managers should know how to invest it.

He suggested a South African goldmine that I later discovered ...
... was so relatively unknown it was listed in just one newspaper in Britain - the most expensive one specializing in investments and written in a language half of which I did not understand. It certainly did not explain the stock market for beginners.

For a month I watched this ridiculous South African stock add a penny only to fall a penny the next day over and over again while I spent lots of pennies daily on a newspaper so I could read one minuscule line of type.

A month later, I phoned the bank manager again. "I don't think this stock is very good. Please sell my entire holding!"

How he didn't bust a gut laughing I will never know. English bankers must starch and iron their faces!

This was 55 years ago, the start of a very successful private and professional career as an investor.

My time today is devoted to helping others avoid all the many mistakes I made. Once you know a 25-year-old must save twice as much as a 20-year-old to get the same result in retirement (and a 29-year-old must save three times as much) you appreciate in the stock market for beginners the tremendous value of time and the urgency of starting early and with as few mistakes as possible.

Investing successfully is easy! Pay no attention to the mumbojumbo fed to us by a self-important investment industry that would be without work if everyone knew how simple it truly is.

We will strip down the mystery in this space and come up with bare and simple essentials. The rules you will be provided with are logical and most can be proved with a basic pocket calculator. You need no degree (or any particular amount of intelligence).

You will learn a method to protect against inevitable falling markets and the panic they cause. You will discover how to take control of your own future wealth instead of leaving it in the hands of a commission-based salesman. In a few weeks you will understand what took me 55 years to learn.

If you have questions, contact me through my website and I will do my best to answer them; just don't ask for my latest stock tip. You will learn how easy it is to select good stocks yourself - and how little the selection really matters under the protective conditions you will soon learn. Those who agonize over each choice largely waste their effort; there is an easier way once you know how.

If you want instant fortune you will not find it here. If you want excitement, thrills and spills, you won't find them here. But if you want a cautious, patient system that will bring you better returns than you likely get now, or if you're in your 20s or 30s and you want a solid shot at retiring a millionaire, stay right here.

No hard work; just a single hour a year - just 60 minutes every 365 days. Think this is unbelievable? You won't after you have read this series: The Stock Market for Beginners.
