Rebel Finance - Trilogy of Capital Assets

The Trilogy of Capital Assets looks into the wonderful world of equities, bonds and derivatives. It is written to educate you financially and then show you how to use this financial literacy to obtain financial freedom. The secret to financial freedom is to make money work for you and not work for money. The master needs to become the servant and the servant needs to become the master. To invert this traditional relationship you need to become a master investor. You need to learn how to invest your capital and the capital of others in high-quality assets that generate a stream of long-term reliable cash flows.
The widespread abolition of human slavery in the 19th century was a giant leap forward for mankind. The 20th century, however, saw the rise of a new form of slavery. Instead of chains, the modern-day shackle is not physical. It is our relationship with a monster that goes by many names – lucre, bread, dough, gravy, greenback, loot, pesos, and wad. This beast has caused more struggles, battles, clashes, wars, divorces, fratricides, parricides and suicides than male testosterone, alcohol, drugs, and religion combined. Money is the modern god (or devil) to whom we serve. It is the religion of the 21st century and is the root of income inequality and financial exploitation. Like all religions, it feeds off financial ignorance and illiteracy. And its priests never get fed up. There is not enough wealth. It always wants more at whatever cost. We have become greed`s whores.
Rebel Finance is a series of books designed to get you financially literate and then show you how to use this literacy to obtain financial freedom. The financial services industry has been screwing you blind for decades. It conspires with the beast and you need to free yourself from it. I worked in the belly of this industry for most of my adult life. I have taken advantage of clients, exploited their ignorance, and profited from their vulnerability. Now I want to share with you how you can turn the tables and, with their own tools, become independent of their unwieldy yoke.
The financial industry does not want you to be free. Just like the medical establishment wants to keep you ill and coming back for treatment, the financial system wants you to consume like an imbecile. Through marketing and advertising, they sell you an almost unattainable lifestyle that if you reach, you simply become another one of greed`s whore. It is never enough. Banks want to keep you ignorant and coming back to buy their products. They say they want to educate you but nothing could be further from the truth. They want to sell you their rancid products with a new shiny wrap. They want to skrew you again and again, and you get to smile while they`re doing it.
This book is the first step in empowering yourself with the tools necessary to become financially literate and financially free.
