book review - Stockmarket Secrets by Andrew Chia

I picked up this book at 20% rebate/discount for Popular card members at a local Popular bookstore over last weekend. It's worth a read as this second of Andrew Chia's handbooks for the financially un-savvy (his first work is titled "Money Secrets") is easy to read and filled with useful facts and information about the Malaysian stockmarket (Bursa). There is a dearth of books focused on the Bursa so this book is one of the precious few to answer local demand for books on the Bursa as almost all other books in the market are written for and about the Singapore stockmarket or USA's/major overseas equity markets. There are some typo errors and the book could do with a good proof-reader but if you're willing to forgive these minor slip-ups, i would recommend it as required reading for laymen/amateurs investing in the Bursa.
