Synopsis

Understand what you own. Then decide.

Most books about the stock market either sell you a system or assume you already speak the language. This one is written for the large group in between: people who have opened a brokerage account, or are about to, and would like to understand what they are doing before they do it.

Explained in plain English and 34 charts

Some things become obvious the moment you see them drawn and stay confusing forever when they are only described: what a 50 percent loss demands of the recovery, what a one percent fee does over thirty years, why an indicator can be right and useless at the same time. Every important idea in this book comes with a figure.

Two games, taken equally seriously and kept apart

• How an order actually reaches the market, and the costs nobody sends you a bill for


• Compounding, diversification, fees and allocation, with the arithmetic shown rather than asserted


• US accounts and taxes for 2026: the 401(k) and IRA limits, capital gains, the wash sale rule


• Reading a company: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, and what a valuation multiple secretly assumes


• Charts without mysticism: candles, trend, support and resistance, moving averages, and why indicators mislead


• The arithmetic of expectancy that decides whether a trading method can work at all


• Position sizing, stops and the risk rules that separate a drawdown from an ending


• What changed in June 2026, when the pattern day trader rule was replaced

What is not in this book

No stock tips, no model portfolio, no forecasts, and no promises. The author has spent more than twenty years around markets and has watched a great many confident predictions fail to survive the following year.

Includes a one-page plan you write yourself, twelve common mistakes and what each one costs, three checklists, a glossary, and the formulas worth knowing.

Educational content only. Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Investing involves risk, including the loss of capital. Past performance does not predict future results.
