High-Powered Investing All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd Edition

Introduction

Many investors are perfectly satisfied with the more traditional investing opportunities: They build solid portfolios containing individual stocks and bonds, mutual and exchange-traded funds, and so forth, and are generally content to let investment counselors manage their accounts. Other investors, however, prefer to take a more active role: Perhaps they want to manage their accounts themselves or broaden their investment horizons (and increase their potential returns) by delving into more volatile markets.

As an investor, you can be as aggressive as your personality and bank account allow. To be successful, however, you need more than the right attitude or a boatload of cash. You need information, and that's what this book tries to give you. High-Powered Investing All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd edition, is a book written specifically for experienced investors who want to pursue and manage more aggressive investment vehicles.
