Stocks and Shares (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Stocks and Shares<br><br>It is the pleasant privilege of a City journalist to glean among the best brains of the world of finance. It is his daily duty to pass on his gleanings to the readers of his paper, and this book is an endeavour to extend the scope of the process, and to make clearer some of the dark sayings that have to be written and read, day by day, by those who chronicle and follow the movements of securities. To make full acknowledgment of indebtedness, I should have to give a list of all the good friends who inform me concerning the course of the stock markets, and can sometimes be tempted to roam at large over wider fields of financial interest. I owe special thanks to a member of the Stock Exchange, who has read the whole book in proof, and to an auditor who has gone through the two chapters dealing with company accounts.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
