ETFs, DRIPs, index funds, the Federal Reserve: the language of Wall Street can often be overwhelming for the average person. If you're going to be a successful investor, you have to know exactly what is being said so you can ferret out the information you need to make smart decisions.
Investing in the markets is not unlike sitting down at the high-roller poker tables in Vegas. You can lose your shirt if you place a bet on the wrong stock or--even worse--leave your chips on the table for too long. You need a sound strategy that will guide you when the market's up and when it's down, when there's talk of recession, or when it's a bull market. In Break Down Your Money, FOX Business Network reporter Tracy Byrnes offers reliable advice for investors looking to "break down" today's Wall Street lingo and beat the stock market through simple strategies and easy-to-follow advice.
What exactly is the stock market? And why should you be a part of it? Byrnes begins with the basics, explaining in easy-to-understand terms exactly how the markets work--and stressing the often-overlooked fact that when you buy a stock, you're basically buying a small piece of the company you chose to invest in. With entertaining examples and illustrations, she reveals the ins and outs of the bond market, mutual funds, ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), IPOs (Initial Public Offerings), DRIPs (Dividend Reinvestment Programs), and more. Moving beyond the basics, Byrnes also tells how to "look under the hood" of your investments with straightforward advice on how to understand financial statements and find useful information in a company's annual report. In addition, she uncovers the sometimes mysterious workings of the Federal Reserve and clearly defines basic economic terms such as inflation and recession--and what they mean for your investments.
An invaluable resource for both novice and experienced investors, Break Down Your Money offers a wealth of sound guidance for anyone looking to decode the jargon of Wall Street and make money in today's markets.
