Investment Publishing to Publish Why Are We so Clueless About the Stock Market?

Schaumburg, IL, August 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Recessions are the best times to invest in the stock market because they create a significant amount of fear among market participants. According to Mariusz Skonieczny, president of Classic Value Investors, LLC, an investment management firm, the current recession allowed him to generate a return of 253% in 2009, beating the biggest names in the investment industry. His new book, Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?, provides an easy-to-understand overview to help individual investors understand the basics of stock market investing.

Topics covered include the difference between stocks and businesses, what constitutes a good business, when to buy and sell stocks, and how to value individual stocks. The book also includes a chapter covering four case studies as well as a supplemental chapter on the pros and cons of real estate versus stock market investing.

“I was inspired to write this book by the 2008-09 recession when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell from its high of approximately 14,000 in July 2007 to about 6,500 in March 2009,” says Skonieczny. “I knew that this was once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity to make a fortune in the market,” Skonieczny adds.

“The prose and the illustrations are easy enough for a sixth grader to understand, and that is one of the strengths of this book. Skonieczny knows what he is talking about and has taken the trouble to make it clear to the beginner,” says Dennis Littrell, Top 50 Amazon Reviewer.

“As the author says, you can be great in your job or profession and yet be a clueless investor. He says all you need to be a good investor and to make money is capital and the knowledge to know how to find good companies at a good price. How true that is!” says Susanna Hutcheson, Creative Director of Power Communications, LLC.
