Summary

“The best book there is about the stock market”—timeless investing basics by the host of the Emmy Award–winning show Adam Smith’s Money World (The New York Times Book Review). This essential book takes readers to the Street to learn about the intricacies of money and how the stock market impacts every area of our lives. According to the author, the key to making wise, lucrative investments is knowing ourselves. In witty, easily accessible language, he shares pithy insights about the role of intuition and the psychology of guilt, arguing that there is no substitute for information. Smith’s Irregular Rules shatter common myths and misconceptions, revealing why nothing works all the time and illustrating how greed and fear fuel the market.   Readers will learn about the safest types of investing, the key to following market trends, and how to capitalize growth, gleaning tips on stock movers, winners and losers, and much more. Peppered with entertaining and prescient anecdotes, The Money Game analyzes who makes the really big money and explores the meaning of our desire to become rich. From selling short and buying long to Wall Street’s crowd mentality, from what constitutes a random walk to why timing is everything, this is the definitive portrait of the Street, then and now.

    Accounting can be termed as the psychology of transactions. Psychology studies the behavior of the mind. To define accounting, one can refer it to be the study of money and its behavior in day to day lives. 
    Money is essential for the survival of any being in modern times. It is a priceless commodity that has simplified the process of exchange of goods and services. Over the years, money has also grown to value development, holistically and economically. This value of money cannot be figuratively termed unless it can show materialistic benefits to the individual(s) managing it. 
    Only accounting can efficiently tackle such a business situation, if not any other.
