Your future prosperity – and that of your children - lies in your ability to understand and make the most of the investment markets. Share ownership is for everyone. Whether you invest in the stockmarkets through collective funds such as unit trusts and insurance funds or directly in equities and bonds, the basic decisions you need to make are the same.
With the demise of the Welfare State, seasoned investors and novices alike must address key areas such as pensions, mortgages and further education for our children. There is no magic one-size-fits-all solution but despite what the cynics say, a little knowledge goes a very long way towards avoiding expensive mistakes.
Whatever your starting point, The First Time Investor will provide you with the vital information you need to manage your existing investments more efficiently, learn more about the markets and companies in which you invest, and feel more confident and informed when you make investment decisions.
Written by Debbie Harrison, an award-winning author and journalist, this new edition of The First Time Investor will provide answers to the most important questions for new investors, such as:
- How do the stock markets work?
- What are the important characteristics of equities and bonds?
- How do I find the right investment adviser?
- Which are the best Internet services?
- Which are the right investments and savings for me?
- How do I choose the best collective funds?
- How do I select individual shares, gilts and bonds?
- Which benchmarks should I use to monitor my portfolio?
- What do I do if things go wrong?
Written in Debbie’s renowned accessible style, The First Time Investor provides shrewd investment advice to enable you to make your investments more profitable.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Dallas, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
