The learning is in the failing.

Successful investors don’t concentrate on picking big winners; instead, they work on minimising risk and avoiding losses. Having lost over $1 million through his own investing errors, John Addis invites readers to learn from his losses. Errors include:

• falling in love with a stock or a charismatic CEO
• selling too soon as a stock continues to soar
• misunderstanding the business model
• not responding to obvious red flags

Whether you’re new to the sharemarket, looking to learn from a master, or an active investor seeking to better understand stockpicking behaviour, this book will not disappoint.
