Description
Jim Slater's classic text brought back into print
Jim Slater makes available to the investor - whether the owner of only a few shares or an experienced investment manager with a large portfolio - the secrets of his success. Central to his strategy is The Zulu Principle, the benefits of homing in on a relatively narrow area.
Deftly blending anecdote and analysis, Jim Slater gives valuable selective criteria for buying dynamic growth shares, turnarounds, cyclicals, shells and leading shares. He also covers many other vitally relevant aspects of investment such as creative accounting, portfolio management, overseas markets and the investor's relationship with his or her broker.
From The Zulu Principle you will learn exactly when to buy shares and, even more important, when to sell - in essence, how to to make 'extraordinary profits from ordinary shares'.

Person
Jim Slater trained as a Chartered Accountant but first became well-known for writing an investment column in the Sunday Telegraph under the nom-de-plume 'Capitalist' before starting Slater Walker in 1964. After his high-profile days in the City, Jim produced his autobiography and wrote many children's books and investment books including the best-selling The Zulu Principle. He devised Company REFS, a monthly company statistical guide, and took advantage of the commodities boom by co-founding Galahad Gold which over four years made profits averaging 66% per annum from gold, molybdenum and uranium investments. www.jimslater.org.uk
