Book excerpt: The information in this guidebook can give you a head start on your beginner education and training learning curve and get you on the fast track to making real money right away in the live financial markets; it will be up to you to follow the advice in the book though if you wish to make a living from doing the trading business. There are lots of decisions to make before you even learn anything or study anything. There are links to some references in the book which I have made clickable for your ease of use. All you need to do is click on the link and it will take you directly to the information in the reference. I encourage you to do more research on your own after having read this entire book once or twice. You will not be able to digest all of the information this book provides in one reading as a beginner. The reason you bought this book and why it is unique is that it is going to tell you about the who, what, where, when and how about what you need to know to be able to trade and invest in today's financial markets (or any tradable market) with confidence and zero fear and to be able to do it the right way from the start. When you are done reading this book you will have an excellent basic explanation of what and what not to do before you even study anything or do any kind of education. You will be able to make the first decisions as to what you want to study and how you plan to do your education in order for you to be able to make your own self-directed investment decisions with real money in the live currency, stock or futures markets and be able to make a living from it.
