Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Investors should not be afraid to take matters into their own hands. The key to doing this is to become an informed investor – aware of all the pitfalls, conflicts of interest, motivations and political favoritism which currently exists in the broader economy. In the context of personal investmenting success, knowledge genuinely confers power.
In other words, the more investors know, the better. And the more active investors become in taking matters in their own hands, the less potential there will be for more corporate disasters to occur in the future. Fortunately, the arrival of the Internet and other communications technologies now makes informed investing much more feasible and manageable. It also make it possible for the voice of the consumer to be heard more directly by lawmakers and corporate managers than ever before. For consumers to fail to take advantage of these new powers and extended responsibilities would be deplorable.
