HOW TO MAKE YOUR
FORTUNE ON THE
STOCK EXCHANGE
By the time Vivian Ellis was twenty-
seven he had five musical shows
running concurrently in the West
End of London, all working to pay off
his losses on the Stock Exchange.
From this inauspicious beginning,
he started studying the Stock markets
seriously, in order, as he puts it, "to
work his passage home."
After six years of wartime R.N.V.R.
service, he set about recouping his
losses and during the run of "Bless
the Bride'" was assiduously rebuild-
ing his fortune. How he succeeded in
doing so provides the material of this
informative and amusingly unortho-
dox book.
Tongue in cheek, the author takes
the reader on a voyage of discovery
to the Eldorado of his own making.
His description of the shoals and
rocks that lie in wait for the inex-
perienced investor are uproariously
funny, but underlining the laughs are
some hard-hitting truths. Sparing
nobody, least of all himself, Mr. Ellis
makes a virtue of his failures and a
mockery of his success, but in
neither case does his shrewdness
and sense of humour desert him.
