Schön ist, dass auch auf Aktienclubs oder Börsenbriefe eingegangen wird, was dem interessierten Anleger ein meist kostenpflichtiges aber mächtiges Werkzeug an die Hand gibt.

SMB-Meinung:

Ein Grundlagenbuch, das beim Lesen immer wieder die Thematik Abgeltungssteuer aufgreift. Da sich seit der Abgeltungssteuerreform 2009 für Anleger einiges geändert hat, lohnt sich der Blick in das Buch insbesondere für Personen, die „Altbestände“ im Depot haben; diese sollten durchaus einen Blick riskieren, um wertvolles Kapital nicht zu verschenken.

Auch die umfangreichen Listen, welche (Stand 2015) Unternehmen beispielsweise mit geringem KGV übersichtlich darstellen und deutschlandweit Firmen mit den höchsten Umsatzerlösen enthalten, können durchaus für viele Anleger von Interesse sein. Eventuell können derartige Informationen jedoch - wenn auch weniger aufbereitet - über das Onlineportal von BörseOnline abgerufen werden. Ein gewisser „Home Bias“ ist durchaus vorhanden.

Grundsätzlich ein solides Buch, nach unserer persönlichen Meinung würden wir jedoch den Büchern von Morrien/Engst und Levermann den Vorzug geben - dies ist allerdings eine subjektive Einschätzung.

Book Presentation: Beate Sander - New Stock Market Strategies for Private Investors: Act Correctly in Any Market Situation

Summary:

The new book by Ms. Sander regards itself as a revision and update of the book "Stock Market Strategies for Private Investors." As part of the revision, the focus was especially laid on the investment in gold, silver, platinum, ETFs/ETCs, as well as sustainable types of investment such as renewable energy carriers. Beyond that, the case examples and tables were updated, although they have become obsolete (by now), which lies in the nature of the matter. Ms. Sander's book provides fundamental analysis, chart technique, the dividend approach, the value approach and the growth approach, as well as instructions to countercyclical action; though everything is done superficially - the book contains 341 pages without counting the index.

It is striking that the book deals with risky endeavours such as day trading or trade with penny stocks, which should principally be considered with great care.

The good thing is that the book also goes into investment clubs or market letters, which provides the interested investor with an often fee-based but also mighty tool.

SMB opinion:

A fundamental book, which keeps capturing the topic of flat rate withholding tax when reading. As many things have changed for the investor since the compensation tax reforms of 2009, the book is especially worth looking into for people who have "old stocks" in their portfolio; they should definitely have a look, so as not to give away valuable capital.

The extensive lists, which (status as of 2015) clearly represent companies with, for instance, slim PERs, and which contain concerns throughout Germany with the highest sales revenues, can definitively be interesting for many investors. Information of that kind could perhaps also be obtained - albeit less edited - through the web portal of BörseOnline. There is by all means a certain "home bias."

Principally a solid book in our view, we would nevertheless give preference to the books by Morrien/Engst and Levermann - this, however, is a subjective assessment.
