An Introduction to Stock Investing with R: Second Edition

The second edition of my book is ready. It is available on the Kindle Store at the same price of the first edition. I thoroughly revised and expanded it, and it now features more in depth explanations where was needed, it provides more codes, and it uses an updated dataset. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to invest on your own quickly, effectively and with minimum costs. And please, leave a review on Amazon if you liked the book!

My book "An Introduction to Stock Investing with R" is out now!

The first post on this blog is to announce the publication on Amazon Kindle Store of my book "An Introduction to Stock Investing with R". American readers can find it here. Readers from other countries can find it by searching for the title on the Amazon website they usually shop from.

This book is intended as a practical guide to teach the reader, in just 41 pages, how to optimally allocate money among different stocks using some of the most important results of modern finance. It also shows how to avoid losing money by exposing some very popular and aggressively advertised, yet ineffective, investing strategies (technical analysis above all). No prior knowledge of finance is necessary, and only very limited familiarity with statistics and with the R environment is required. Thanks to the codes contained in the book, and to the dataset downloadable for free here, you'll be able to replicate all the results and the examples in the book.

"An Introduction to Stock Investing with R" is particularly suited for investors who want a very friendly introduction to the basics of quant investing, but also for finance students looking for a handy guide to portfolio optimization with R.
