The Smart Money Method

The Smart Money Method provides a treasure trove of ideas and insights for serious investors. Processes that have been honed by author Stephen Clapham over a 30-year career as a top equity analyst provide valuable lessons into where investors can most profitably channel their research efforts, the most effective methods to use, and the many nuances that need consideration. Peppered with wry anecdotes and some candid views on the industry, Mr Clapham's book also provides an illuminating gaze into the City and hedge funds.

The Smart Money Method's stated aim is to make its readers better at investing. While the book is light on the kind of how-to instructions that may serve a beginner, where it scores is in the abundance and richness of good ideas in its pages. So, buy it, read it and become a better investor.
