Summary

This question, repeatedly asked of Mark Skousen by everyday investors, intrigued the stock market expert. Could he sum up his decades-long experience as an investment advisor, professor, and writer in a single lesson? Was it possible both to explain the cryptic workings of the stock market and also relate a comprehensive investing strategy in just one book? This book represents the definitive answer to that question. With Investing in One Lesson, Dr. Skousen has compiled a primer that will put even the most baffled investor on the road to success in the stock market. Mixing sober investment guidance with compelling stories from Dr. Skousen's years of exploration in the stock market jungle, Investing in One Lesson is an engaging, indispensable guide for surviving and thriving in the peculiar universe of Wall Street.
