Don’t invest in the stock market without listening to this audiobook.

The US stock market seems to be in a hurry. It has evolved so fast and entertained us throughout the years. Looking back from the times of telegraph ticker tapes to the periods of trading pits and its intense daily rowdiness, we cannot help but marvel at how interesting the stock market has been. You wonder why one part of the economy is packed with so much fear, greed, endless possibilities, and extreme risks. An investor could go all-out, jumping over the roof in excitement and fulfilment at one moment and plunge into deep sorrow, weeping profusely the next moment. Certainly, the stock market is not for the fainthearted. It is a place where fortunes are amassed and also lost.

A study of the US stock market today is the best way to get started in learning about the stock market of the world because the happenings in the US stock market are a benchmark and standard for the majority of the stock markets around the world today.

One thing to note is that the stock market can work both ways; it can be easy to enter into as a beginner and also be difficult even for professionals with years of investing experience. You can’t have it all in your head. No matter the level you belong to, you need all the information you can find in order to get the most out of your investment.

This audiobook is a deep dive into the US stock market and the world of investing; how it all started, the events that have played throughout the years, and how not to get lost in its vastness.
