Synopsis
Mutual-fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain the basic principles of investing and business in this accessible guide., Mutual-fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain the basic principles of the stock market and business in an investing guide that will enlighten and entertain anyone who is high-school age or older. Many investors, including some with substantial portfolios, have only the sketchiest idea of how the stock market works. The reason, say Lynch and Rothchild, is that the basics of investing--the fundamentals of our economic system and what they have to do with the stock market--aren't taught in school. At a time when individuals have to make important decisions about saving for college and 401(k) retirement funds, this failure to provide a basic education in investing can have tragic consequences. For those who know what to look for, investment opportunities are everywhere. The average high-school student is familiar with Nike, Reebok, McDonald's, the Gap, and the Body Shop. Nearly every teenager in America drinks Coke or Pepsi, but only a very few own shares in either company or even understand how to buy them. Every student studies American history, but few realize that our country was settled by European colonists financed by public companies in England and Holland--and the basic principles behind public companies haven't changed in more than three hundred years. In Learn to Earn , Lynch and Rothchild explain in a style accessible to anyone who is high-school age or older how to read a stock table in the daily newspaper, how to understand a company annual report, and why everyone should pay attention to the stock market. They explain not only how to invest, but also how to think like an investor., Mutual-fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain the basic principles of investing and business in a primer that will enlighten and entertain anyone who is high-school age or older.Many investors, including some with substantial portfolios, have only the sketchiest idea of how the stock market works.

- a***a (391)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI order from this seller often. This seller is very reliable. There are other sellers that offer the same kind of discount deals as this one, but they are not as reliable. This seller always delivers without letting me down. The items (I order mostly DVDs) are always sent complete, as described, and securely packaged. My only gripe is, packages take on average 2 weeks to arrive. However, I'll accept that, over bad service any day. I recommend this seller.
- 2***4 (174)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller shipped out the DVD miniseries called THE KENNEDY'S to me very quickly and it arrived earlier than listed and well wrapped up for the journey. They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.The Kennedys (#187493404678)
- m***8 (77)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe classic Curious George DVD I ordered arrived in great condition and as described in the description. The disc was dirty and appeared to be scratched but it played just fine. I received a good quality product at a great price. This seller, Dream Books Co., shipped quickly and took care in the packaging. I bought a lot of DVDs from this seller and they handled a large purchase very well; I'm not missing anything. I'm happy with my purchase so far. I will buy from Dream Books in the future.
