Rocket stocks are the shortest path to wealth in the stock market. And yet many traders and investors miss out on them. Or trade them the wrong way and get wiped out. Have you ever wished that you could find the next Tesla or Apple? Have you ever stood on the sidelines and watched a stock rocket higher? You were paralyzed for many days, afraid to buy. And then you finally bought the stock, only to watch it crash lower. I used to do this too, until I figured out exactly when to buy and sell these stocks.

- By Jose Humberto on 02-08-17
Publisher's Summary
What passes for investing today is, in fact, gambling: the notion of making money quickly and without effort...and that's just how Wall Street likes it. By charting the development of the modern financial system from its roots in the madness of the first bubbles and Roaring '80s, this book will cast a light on the chicanery of the big banks and hedge funds - and give you the information you need to make the right choices for your own investing future. Covering the basics of investment bubbles, various kinds of financial scams, and the peculiarities of our financial-political complex, Modern Investing is an indispensable guide to the predators of the jungle of investing.
