Review The Motley Fool UK Investment Workbook / Boxtree Ltd:There's "fooling" and there's "Fooling" and confusing the two could seriously damage your wealth. A "fool" trusts his money to the "wise men" of finance- governments, advisors, pensions companies-the monetary equivalent of cleaning the electric mower with the plug attached. For the "Fool", the cut-and-thrust comes from a sensible dose of knowledge and independence. Following hot on the heels of the best selling Motley Fool UK Investment Guide, the Investment Workbook turns strategy into action with a series of examples, exercises and cases studies designed to transform you into the Sultan of stocks and the Maharaja of the markets. At very least, the nuts-and-bolts approach will help you get the fundamentals right. "What we're trying to do in this book is to give an everyday basis to the whole business of investing, to make it a bit less like consulting a soothsayer, a bit less of a mystical and unknowable undertaking, and bring it down to more concrete levels. " They succeed too, with information and challenges which will help the beginner and upwards take personal control, invest successfully and plan for the long-term financial future. The interactive A4 format imparts a school homework atmosphere (well, "you bought a workbook and you want your money's worth") but the tasks here have altogether more tangible benefits. With the Fool's inimitable style, industrious hours will fly by. What the subject lacks in thrills, the authors are happy to supply on the side; "It was not uncommon during World War 1 for men in trenches suddenly to fall asleep when the whistle which signalled they had to mount a suicidal attack against heavily defended enemy positions was blown. [+]It was a kind of psychological defence, a mental withdrawal, in the face of an utterly horrific experience which no human being should have to suffer. " Symptoms commonly linked to the appearance of your average investment book, they say. The UK Investment Workbook changes all that. It is insightful, constructive and fun-all practised well within recommended safety standards. The Fools have once again blown the whistle on investment waffle. -Iain Campbell.

Review Motley Fool : How to Invest When You Don't Have Any Money / Boxtree Ltd:Here's a new one-investment for the hard-up, profits for the penniless, money for nothing. Possibly your kicks for free too. The Motley Fool have an enviable habit of coming up with the right book at the right time, and here they've hit on the perfect title too. With mainstream media promising to do for personal finance what it has already done for DIY and gardening, investment is hot on the cultural agenda and poised to sweep like wildfire through a population primed on IPOs and high-tech stocks. Of course, the Fools are stretching the truth. If you can't flash the cash, you can forget about nurturing that millionaire portfolio. How to Invest When You Don't Have Any Money is about manoeuvring your finances into a position where investment spend is supportable, it's not a magic formula for rags to riches fairytales-only the final third addresses how to go about investing when that holy grail of financial control has been attained. So, it's clearing debt, "gleaning cash by constricting your money outflow" and boosting income in whatever ways possible-legal propriety observed always. Here, for the first time, we have Fool-style career development, Fools on footwear and the Motley line on food. The science of penny-pinching has a tendency to be unintentionally hilarious and at times visions of the Motley Scrooge loom large ("You won't find me splashing out on bells for my jangly hat") but then it's only a means to an end. [+]How to Invest When You Don't Have Any Money could be just the thing to get you there. -Iain Campbell.

Review The City Slickers: Make a Million in Twelve Months / Blake Publishing:How it took so long is anyone's guess, but the City's laddish culture has finally found it's print equivalent in City Slickers. Where the Motley Fool is wry and funny and just a little bit cultish, Slickers James Hipwell and Anil Bhoyrul bring a football-terraces style, honed to perfection in the pages of the Mirror, to making money. The brashness of their Make A Million in Twelve Months boast is refreshing in a kind of lager, lager way-drowning out the familiar studiousness of more conservative offerings whose primary purpose seems to be to filter out all traces of energy and emotion from the markets. If you don't happen to be a testosterone-fuelled male whose idea of fun is to "collect your cheque, head straight down Hampstead High Street to buy those Reiss trousers you couldn't afford. Then ring all your mates up for an almighty session in the local boozer", City Slickers won't be your tipple. If that strikes a chord, even if it's just in your dreams, you've found your investment Holy Grail. The information itself is a mixture of sound advice, straight-talking interpretations, boyish tricks and common sense wisdom, ranging from introductory first steps-what the City is, what stockbrokers do, how the market works and all the various different types of shares available-to more detailed stock picking, information gathering, transactions and money-making techniques. The tone is often macho ("What luck-£5million and it's all free of tax") and the section on spread betting is especially disturbing considering that the book is aimed primarily at beginners, but it has to go down as an entertaining antidote to bland, jargon heavy reference. If it was a person, City Slickers would be that mad mate you hang around with who always seems more out there than you. You're in awe of them, but you know if you spend too long in their company, there's a chance it might all just kick off. [+]-Iain Campbell.
