A new book on investment with tales


Phillip and David Middleton, the Adelaide based brothers who work together in financial planning, have come up with the new book titled - KISSING THE FROG - The Magic that Makes you Money.

Authors view that common sense not common knowledge that builds wealth. And where better to go for some lessons in common sense than the classic fairytales? In a brilliant twist on the usually dull investment advice book, the authors had translated the mystifying language of money into the language of classic fairy tales and nursery rhymes.

Compared to many folk in the Woods, Goldilocks is rich. She has sold her story to the media and now she and the Three Bears are seriously cashed up. The Brothers Middleton took Goldilocks on a guided tour through the Woods to find out more about potential investment strategies.

Along the way she has many enlightening encounters such as:

The Three Little Pigs about building up a property investment portfolio;

The Hare and the Tortoise regarding comparative investment returns;

The Three Billy Goats Gruff about the exciting diversity of investment options in a modern economy;

The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg is a delightful allegory for understanding investment in new ventures;

The Mad Hatters Theme Park makes an ideal location to find out about futures and options; and

Prince Charming suffers a serious character assassination and The September Hare proves to be a wise and canny adviser.
