Book Review: The RICH INVESTOR by Arjun Parthasarathy

Book Review: The RICH INVESTOR
“How to Avoid Common Mistakes and build Wealth”

Author: Arjun Parthasarathy

Publisher:  Vision Books

The theme of this book is that “Most investors make everyone else rich — but not themselves”.

How will the RICH INVESTOR help you in your investing career?

Investors can not change the nature of the markets. However, they can profit by changing the way they look at investments. This book is about common sense investing. It points out the common mistakes made by investors and suggests ways to rectify them.

The RICH INVESTOR book is divided into eleven chapters with each chapter highlighting a common investment theme and then suggesting ways to rectify the attendant mistakes. Each chapter is accompanied by a cartoon that visually depicts the theme of the chapter.

The first chapter shows where investment losses arise &  how to avoid those losses in the future.

The second chapter exhorts the investor to stop and think before investing as this can save him a whole lot of future heartburn.

The third chapter describes why timing is important in investments.

The fourth chapter puts paid to the notion that equities can only go up, up and up.

Investors must not follow others blindly even if they are highly successful is the theme of the fifth chapter.

why investors must keep their eyes open for right investment decisions is what the sixth chapter is about.
Mr. Arjun Parthasarathy

Chapter seven will help investors avoid investments that would not benefit even their future generations.

chapter eight cautions investors to keep away from imitating investment activities of large investors.

Simplicity in investing is the mantra of chapter nine and how flavour-of-the-day investments can become the future duds is the theme of chapter ten.

Chapter eleven describes the different types of investors &  takes the investor through direct and indirect investing.

Hopefully, by the end of the RICH INVESTOR book, you would have learnt how to make investments work for you and not for others.

As an investor, you are the least protected of the lot while those who benefit from your mistakes are protected by policy makers and regulators as was seen in the case of the US. Take care of yourself first.

Price : Rs.  225 .

The book will be available at bookstores and online bookstores. You can also order the book for www.visionbooksindia.com.
