    A brand new edition of the classic bestseller

    Who are the professional investment managers responsible for moving and making millions on the stock market? What approaches and strategies so they adopt?

    Britain has more successful stock market investors than any other country outside the United States. Yet for a long time their activities - and the secrets of their success - remained shrouded in mystery to anyone outside the Square Mile.

    Then the City's top professional investors talked in depth to Jonathan Davis about their lives and their strategies for making money on the stock market. They include such market wizards as the private investor's champion Jim Slater, Michael Hart, long time manager of the UK's oldest investment trust, stockpicker supreme Anthony Bolton, and emerging markets guru Mark Mobius.

    Nobody with an interest in stocks and shares can fail to learn from reading how these consummate professionals go about their business. Or from their advice on what it takes to be a winner in the financial markets.
