Part III. Delving Deeper into the Financial Pages
In this part ...
This section is probably better suited for readers who've already got a rudimentary grasp of stock market basics. The tricky thing with share investing is that sometimes the devil sits among the details. I'll show you where he's likely to be lurking, and how you can spot him before he sees you coming. We also look at special situations like takeovers, and I show you how to read the official regulatory information sources that are absolutely, positively guaranteed to give you the plain unvarnished truth – on pain of jail!
We end this section with a look at so-called technical analysis, which is the black art of using charting techniques to second-guess what the market's going to do next. Is it a valid analytical technique or just superstition and voodoo? You decide.
