The Foundations of Investing (2nd Edition)

By Alexis Assadi

The Foundations of Investing (2nd Edition) was written to provide investors with a baseline from which they can make more informed, higher-impact decisions. This book explores structural corporate finance concepts that are critical to know before one can perform thorough due diligence. For example, many people understand investing in a general sense, such as "I will put money in this company, and I want it back with a profit." But what, exactly, are you purchasing when you make an investment? Why is the company offering an investment opportunity in the first place? Where is your money going (hint: it's often not to the company!)? The Foundations of Investing discusses key ideas, such as: - Public vs. private companies - Why some businesses pay dividends, while others don't - Investors' rights or lack thereof - Debt vs. equity investments - What "securities" are and why that matters - Investment funds
