Flirting with Stocks

Is it more important to buy a good share, or buy it at the right time? To rephrase, should you buy a good share at any time, or buy any share at a good time?

FLIRTING WITH STOCKS introduces the uninitiated to the world of share markets. Acclaimed financial expert Dr Anil Lamba begins with the basics of how the investment cycle works, and builds up to the nitty-gritties of bulls and bears, mutual funds, kerb trading, badla finance and share-price fixing. Included also are case studies on asset bubbles and insider trading that are lessons for potential investors on how to make money while minimising risks.

Written in Dr Lamba’s characteristic lucid style, this book makes stock market investing a non-intimidating, fun activity.
