in all honesty I know very little about the market at the moment..

therefore will get the book

http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/3...s/Product.html

OR

if you would kindly scan every page for me, then it would be appreciated

I have shares which are doing well.. so far so good but this I envisage to be a 5 year commitment..

I was purely thinking out aloud.. and my understanding is that shares are not a long term thing..? maybe they are tho..

I need to read the book first..

Alternativly if anyone has some tips, then pass them over..
