Volume 3 of Declan T. Bridge’s series on how markets really work. It starts with the rules that decide which companies get into an index and ends with what it costs to hold a product that tracks one: how companies are chosen and weighted, how the index number stays continuous when its companies change, and how a calculated number becomes something you can actually buy.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Tell whether a stock market rally is broad, or carried by a handful of giant companies.
  • See why the return an index publishes isn’t the return its investors actually received.
  • Work out what tracking an index really costs through a fund, a future, an option or a CFD.
  • Read an index’s make-up and say what it’s really a bet on, sector by sector.
  • Turn index points into money with the contract multiplier, before you open a position.
  • Spot price moves caused by index rules, when funds must buy or sell whatever the value.

Questions, answered.

How do I get it after I pay?

Straight away. After you pay you go to a download page, and the same link is emailed to you. Save the files to your phone, tablet or computer. There’s no app to install and no account to log in to.

Do I need any experience?

No. Every book starts from zero, explains each term the first time it’s used, and teaches things in the order you need them.

Will it tell me what to buy, or make me money?

No. The books teach how markets work. They never tell you what to buy or sell, and nothing in them promises a profit. They are for education only.

Can I read some before I buy?

Yes. Read a sample opens the whole Preface, the pictures at the top are real pages, and the Curriculum tab above lists every chapter. Volume 1 is also free with code ICEBERG100.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and it’s yours to keep. Any updates are free.

Can I get a refund?

Because the books are digital and arrive instantly, all sales are final. That’s why so much is free to read first. A double charge or a wrong amount is always put right, and your legal rights are not affected.

Which is the best value?

All 6 books: £199.99, which is £33.33 a book. One book on its own is £69.99. So all 6 cost less than 3 books bought one at a time.

If I buy one book now, can I get the rest later?

Yes, but each order is separate, so the price of a book you already own can’t be taken off the set later. If you think you’ll want more than two books, all 6 is the cheaper way to get them.

What if I need help?
