How to Make Your Million from the Internet (and What to Do If You Don't)

by JonathanMaitland (Author)

Synopsis

HOW TO MAKE A MILLION is about Jonathan Maitland's attempts to get rich by buying and selling shares from his own front room on the internet. Despite being a complete e-dunce, he mortgaged his house for GBP50,000, which he trys to turn into GBP1million within a year. This book is his diary, kept over that year, at the end of which the author sells his entire portfolio and works out how much he's made (or lost)! During the year, he interviews key players, eg. Martha Lane Fox, Raymond Snoddy and Nick Leeson, who give him advice, insights and tips, as well as lesser known names, like the 26-year-old Atlanta man who made $7 million last year without leaving his flat, and the growing numbers of builders, cabbies and barmaids who've been hooked.

Media Reviews

Excellent stuff.' -- ADAM FAITH 'The most entertaining financial publication I have read in ages . .. The story of the Maitland portfolio is fascinating ... 225 pages of fun and investor lessons to be learned therein' -- Terry Bond, Independent 'His efforts... are chronicled in laugh-out-loud diary entries that owe much to Adrian Mole. The whole adventure zips along at a blistering pace. Many of the insights are so spot-on...' -- Frank Fitzgibbon, The Sunday Times 'Jonathan Maitland is absolutely the last person I would set loose in cyberspace with money ... Don't read this anywhere near a mouse that can click. Terrifying' -- Charles Nevin, Independent
