Introduction

When I took an early retirement from my job as an engineer for one of the Big Three automakers eight years ago, I knew I wanted to try my hand at the stock market. I had a nice retirement package and years of savings built up. My wife, Monika, and I owned our home free and clear. Our children were grown and their college was nearly paid for. The German economy was doing decently. So I bought a couple of books on stock investing and plunged in.

I know you’re thinking, “What’s next?” You’re wondering if I figured out how to beat the market and became a Millionär. Or the more pessimistic of you are wondering if I bet our life savings on a dud IPO (Börsengang) and lost everything.

The answer is neither. I didn’t figure out how to beat the market, although I wasted a lot of time and energy trying to. And I didn’t bet the farm on my stock investments. Even if I had been dumb enough to do that, Nedra would have brought me up short in a big hurry.

The biggest challenge for me over the past eight years was simplifying the process. I’ve read numerous books for beginning stock investors, and too few of them do a good job of explaining the big picture and where someone like me fits in. Plenty of books define investment terms like market cap, ETFs, and pension plans, but understanding those terms in isolation from each other didn’t help me one bit. In my confusion, combined with my engineer’s tendency to overcomplicate things, I made a few beginner’s mistakes and worried far more than I needed to before making a decision.

But I persevered and learned, partly by studying, and partly by doing. I invested very conservatively and did a lot of practice investing on simulator websites until I felt more confident. As I learned more, I discovered that my background as an engineer gave me an advantage, and I found myself applying my analytical and math skills in a new way. Investing became fun and emotionally rewarding, as well as bringing me excellent financial returns.

This book is written for the beginning private investor who wants an overview of the market in easily understandable terms and a clear explanation of how they fit together. My goal is to leave you with a practical working knowledge of the stock market with a minimum cost of time and frustration when you finish this book.

Apply what you learn here to develop your own investment style. Be creative and enjoy the process. Don’t spend more time or money than you have, and if you find yourself worrying about your investments, remember that even the world’s greatest investors often call it wrong.

To your prosperity and enjoyment,
