About the author
Alistair Fittis a professional mathematician and an amateur investor. He was educated at Dr Challoner's Grammar School, Amersham, and Lincoln College, Oxford, and now works in the Faculty of Mathematical Studies at the University of Southampton. He has published over 50 serious research papers in serious scientific journals; but that's irrelevant as this book is not about his mathematics but about online share investing. The author is not an expert with many year's experience in online share trading in British markets. (This is hardly surprising, as online share trading is so new to the UK that nobody is an expert with many year's experience.) Nevertheless, he has enjoyed steady success trading the old-fashioned way (via the bank and brokers) and has continued to enjoy a profitable online investing career. Above all, the author understands the mathematics behind the markets, how all those jolly hard sums are worked out, what all those numbers mean and how you might expect them to influence your online trading strategy. The author made (lots of) mistakes when he started to trade online and also learned a lot about how online investing differs from the old-fashioned sort. If this book had been available when he started, Alistair says he'd have gladly bought it and saved himself the trouble and expense of learning pretty well everything himself.
Summary
Trading shares is a good idea. Trading shares online is an even better one.The question is no longer "can I afford to trade shares online?" It is now "can I afford not to?"
