Jimmy Gets Into The Stock Market

Jimmy is ready to make his fortune. He’s seen other people do it on the internet, and several of them don’t even wear proper shoes to work. How difficult can it be?

Armed with a trading app and an impressive capacity to misunderstand good advice, Jimmy enters the world of high finance. It’s a place full of important words, reassuring suits and people who seem very pleased to help him. Finally, somewhere that takes his ambition seriously.

As his confidence grows, Jimmy becomes increasingly certain that he has a gift for business. Alfie remains less convinced. But Jimmy has never let a lack of experience—or a deeply concerned dog—stand between him and an excellent idea.

Jimmy Gets into the Stock Market is a darkly comic tale of ambition, greed and the dangerous comfort of hearing exactly what you want to hear. With the cheerful illustrations of a children’s story and the questionable decisions of fully grown adults, this Grown-up Tale is for anyone who has ever looked at the wealthy and thought, “I could do that.”

Jimmy certainly thinks so.
