Poulton based financial adviser Michael Barr has written a book which he says exposes the myth that financial advisers have some sort of magic insight into how the markets will perform.
"How To Invest Better Than The Average Primate" demonstrates how much luck is involved in most financial planning and suggests that anybody can make their own investment decisions. It costs £ 11.99 and proceeds go to both UNICEF and MAG (see below). You can buy the book through Amazon, who have agreed to accept lower fees so that more can go the two charities.
