Jim Slater trained as a Chartered Accountant but first became well-known for writing an investment column in The Sunday Telegraph under the nom-de-plume 'Capitalist' before starting Slater Walker in 1964. Since his high-profile days in the City, Jim has produced his autobiography and written many children's books and investment books including the best-selling The Zulu Principle. He devised Company REFS, a monthly company statistical guide, and recently took advantage of the commodities boom by co-founding Galahad Gold which over four years made profits averaging 66% per annum from gold, molybdenum and uranium investments. Jim is currently Deputy Chairman of Agrifirma Services Limited which advises Agrifirma Brazil, an agricultural company based in Brazil, in which he has a substantial investment. Jim continues to invest actively in the UK stockmarket with a particular interest in mining stocks. www.jimslater.org.uk
"The writing is simple and easy - and fun - to read. This doesn't mean that Slater has backed away from writing a book that is meant to beat the investment professionals at their own game. Few books are equally well suited in helping a prospective young investor raise his game." --Mats Larsson, InvestingByTheBooks "Praise for the original edition" -- "Jim Slater was, for a time, the single most powerful influence on the business scene. Twenty years on, he has refined, honed and distilled his investment thoughts into a book that is vintage Slater: innovative, imaginative, original and fresh with sophisticated investment methods made to seem simple and glaringly obvious - if only you'd thought of them before." --Ivan Fallon, Sunday Times "When I was making my run from being a small business man to something larger, Jim Slater dominated the City. Somehow or other he was involved in virtually every major deal. He rode the waves with unprecedented skill, imagination and charisma. No wonder this book is an essential building block for understanding investment." --Sir James Goldsmith "Jim Slater's book is very readable, alive and fascinating. For anyone seriously interested in investment, it is essential reading. I recommend it strongly." --Lord Hanson "The writing is simple and easy - and fun - to read.
