Adventure Capitalist: the Ultimate Investor's Road Trip
(Audio CD)
by Jim Rogers
(Audio
CD - May 13 2003) ISBN-10: 0739303481
Rating:
Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Financier Rogers retired at 37 and motorcycled around
the world, turning the trip into the book Investment
Biker, a hybrid of business advice and travelogue. That
journey, however, failed to squelch his wanderlust.
Instead of enjoying his sedate life teaching finance,
Rogers decided to take his fiancée and a souped-up Mercedes
on a frighteningly intense road trip: three years, 116
countries and 152,000 miles. Like the car that plowed
through snow, mud, sand and highways on every continent,
Rogers's memoir of the journey is its own breed. Although
Rogers writes, far too briefly, of life-changing events
like getting married and hearing of his father's death,
the book has an uncommon level of detachment. Also,
even though Rogers shares investment advice and observations
about the planet's political economies, his thoughts
are too general to serve as business lessons. The result
is an adventure tale without heart and a finance book
without teeth. Rogers tries to make up for this by describing
experiences like eating fried silkworms and watching
prostitutes caught in the world's sex trade. Mainly,
though, he chronicles prosaic details, like taking car
ferries and talking to border guards, and then riffs
on politics, money, immigration and culture. Copyright

The Alchemy of Finance : Reading the Mind of the Market.
2 CD's
by George Soros (Audio
CD
- Jul 12 2000)
ISBN-10:
1560150483
Rating:
From Library Journal Soros, manager of the
billion dollar Quantum Fund, certainly has credentials
that merit attention to his personal approach to money
management. As might be expected, he describes his so-called
"theory of reflexivity" in a manner more appealing to
serious market players than to the casual investor.
Of more general interest is his account of a one-year
real time series of investment decisions that resulted
in his Quantum Fund more than doubling in value. Libraries
serving a serious investment community should add this.

The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner: a Powerful Plan
to Finish Rich in Real Estate
by David Bach (Audio
CD
- Mar 7 2006)
ISBN-10:
0739324268
Rating:
Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This follow-up to Bach's bestseller, The Automatic
Millionaire, guides listeners step-by-step through
the transformation from renter to homeowner to landlord.
Bach's typical can-do attitude shines through, whether
the book is outlining the pros and cons of various types
of mortgages or sharing the story of one couple who
used home equity as a gateway to financial independence
and comfort in retirement. Unfortunately, the audio
abridgment has a few glitches, including a misstep in
the fifth chapter, which prematurely congratulates listeners
on understanding what their credit report is, before
knowing how to make sure it's accurate. This topic is
not addressed until the following chapter ("Your Credit
Score: The Holy Grail of Mortgage Lending"), so listeners
may understandably be confused. Also, although actor
Oliver Wyman has a beautiful voice, the slick Casey
Kasem–style delivery feels wrong for a book that rightly
keeps insisting that it is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Bach's solid and time-tested financial advice deserves
better than this infomercialesque treatment, which seems
more about style than the commonsense approach that
is Bach's personal signature. Copyright © Reed Business

The Best Investment Advice I Ever Received : Priceless
Wsdom From Warren Buffett, Jim Cramer, Suze Orman (Audio
CD)
by
Liz Claman (Audio
CD - Nov 22 2006) ISBN-10: 1594836531
Not Rated
Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
If you can get beyond the tired investment aphorisms-"Save,
save, save" and "Buy low and sell high" both make
appearances-there is some solid counsel in CNBC
anchor Claman's anthology of advice for the novice
investor, but little that will help anyone already
in the thick of the market. Following her entry
on the three guiding principles of "the Greatest
Investor of Our Time," Warren Buffett, Claman hands
over the reins to a roster of almost 60 contributors,
all fulltime professionals with impressive credentials,
including some household names (Donald Trump among
them). Many wisely advise beginning investors to
rely upon their own knowledge, common sense, research
and discipline, and to eschew relying upon their
financial planner. Familiar arguments are given
for investing in no-load index funds and abandoning
fruitless quests to beat the market-the latter suggestion
made in a nicely written anecdotal piece from John
C. Bogle, founder of the Vanguard group. Others,
including TV's Lawrence Kudlow, author Robert Kiyosaki,
Proctor & Gamble CEO A.G. Lafley and "Adventure
Capitalist" Jim Rogers provide a smorgasbord of
similarly basic investment advice. Unfortunately,
Claman's book is an informative introduction that
doesn't carry any follow-through; investing in a
more comprehensive guide would probably be sound
advice for those seeking it. Copyright © Reed

Tom Weiner (Audio
CD - Dec 2006)ISBN-10: 0786158395
Rating:
Book Description Journalist Greg Campbell
leads the reader down the international diamond trail
of brutality, horror, and profit - providing an on-the-ground
and in-the-mines story of global consequence.
First discovered in 1930, the diamonds of Sierra Leone
have funded one of the most savage rebel campaigns in
modern history. These "blood diamonds" are smuggled
out of West Africa and sold to legitimate diamond merchants
in London, Antwerp, and New York, often with the complicity
of the international diamond industry. Eventually, these
very diamonds find their way into the rings and necklaces
of brides and spouses the world over. Blood Diamonds
is the gripping tale of how the diamond smuggling works,
how the rebel war has effectively destroyed Sierra Leone
and its people, and how the policies of the diamond
industry - institutionalized in the 1880s by the De
Beers cartel - have allowed it to happen. Award-winning
journalist Greg Campbell traces the deadly trail of
these diamonds, many of which are brought to the world
market by fanatical enemies, including the Al Qaeda
network. These repercussions of diamond smuggling are
felt far beyond the borders of the poor and war-ridden
country of Sierra Leone, and the consequences of overlooking
this African tragedy, as the world has seen, are both
shockingly deadly and unquestionably global. --This

Description
From
AudioFile
This insider's glimpse into the manipulative
world of branding is sedately delivered by reader
Lloyd James in a bland, occasionally smirking
tone. This seems appropriate, as author Levine,
a marketing guru, has "handled" movie star and
rock star clients (Michael Jackson, among others),
corporate public relations disasters, and major
product launches. He's rather smug about it
all. James walks us through the creation and
cold-blooded branding of a fictional brand of
ice cream to illustrate the "creation of a superbrand,"
a quasi- psy-ops project that requires marketers
to second-guess every nuance of public response.
While full of useful pointers, A BRANDED WORLD
suffers from its manipulative approach to marketing.

by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren
Buffett amassed one of the epochal fortunes of the 20th
century -- an astounding net worth of $10 billion and
counting. That awesome record has made him a cult figure.
This illuminating biography reveals a man whose conscientiousness,
integrity, and good humor exist alongside an odd emotional
isolation. Buffett also masterfully traces his
life: his enormously successful partnership; his early,
inspired investments in American Express and Geico;
his companionship and investment with Katharine Graham
of the Washington Post; his role in the Capital
Cities purchase of ABC; his unique relationship with
his wife and mistress; and his rescue of the scandal-ridden
Salomon Brothers. --This text refers to an out of

on making proper choices and developing workable plans.
Utilizing his 40 years of financial experience, and
relying completely on his admitted bias for stocks,
Schwab explains the ins and outs of planning an investment,
choosing the components and bracing for taxes, putting
the plan into action, and preparing for future developments.

That Control What We Read and

Cassette - Jan 1 2003)
Rating:
From Amazon.com
What do Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch want out of life?
Apart from the usual pleasures--love, fortune, good
health--they apparently want to control the world's
media. And, to judge by this account, each wants the
other's head on a platter.
"In another time, they
might have dueled on a grassy plain with muskets, or
faced each other at high noon at opposite ends of a
dusty street, holsters slung low on their hips," writes
media/entertainment pundit Hack. Turner and Murdoch
have chosen to fight it out, with undisguised venom,
in a singularly public venue--Turner through CNN and
other networks, Murdoch through Sky and Fox TV, plus
a host of magazines and newspapers. Turner espouses
liberal views while Murdoch is a hard-line conservative,
but both are supreme "controllers of information" and
"manipulators of public opinion," according to Hack.
Their fight has cost billions of dollars, and it's wounded
more than a few bystanders. It has also, as Hack rightly
notes, set the tone for the contemporary press, for
the worse, sacrificing journalistic integrity in the
interest of two "competing political agendas ... until
there is one.

This program takes a fundamental view of what it takes
to be a top-drawer business worthy of your investment
dollar. It's based on traditional company variables
like capitalization, market position, and labor relations,
and some new variables like organizational adaptability
and leadership depth and vision. The broad thinking
and nuances are so intuitive and clearly drawn that
listeners won't even realize how abstract and intelligent
this writing is. The impressive piece of work is nicely
abridged, and George Guidall is as connected to the
material as anyone could be. Still, this is not for
the cognitively challenged, nor for overly aggressive
investors nor those with money hang-ups. A great resource
for understanding why some companies are great and which
ones will be. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine--

From Amazon.com Day trading such stocks as
Amazon.com, eBay, and Yahoo! sounds like a game for
the gun slinger: jump into the fray and pull the trigger.
Is that really the case? No, according to author Christopher
Farrell, who earns his money just as Wall Street does--by
making very small, short-term, high-percentage trades.
Farrell, who works from home, has traded over 15,000,000
shares of stock via the Internet, producing a 65 percent
annual return for his investment fund in its first year.
Using detailed, user-friendly examples, Farrell shows
how to place orders online and then sell minutes later
for small profits that can potentially add up to thousands
of dollars a day--if you pick the right stocks.
He explains how the New York Stock Exchange allows traders
to buy on the bid and sell at the offer, just like the
professionals. Farrell also includes loads of tips,
such as how to choose an online broker, how much to
pay for commissions, and how to cope with a technology
that's still in its infancy. If you've been thinking
about joining the estimated 5 million online traders,
then this book is for you. --Thom Hartle

Product Description
From Amazon.com
Ric Edelman believes you can't create a truly effective
personal finance plan until you really know what
you want out of life. In Discover the Wealth
Within You he shows how to develop a realistic
series of individualized goals for your future,
and then how to construct an investment program
to help you realize them. Edelman, author of
New York Times bestsellers
Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth and
The Truth About Money, draws on these books
to explain why we're ultimately more successful
with our financial agenda when we focus on it as
a means to an array of unambiguous objectives (such
as "see an event in person during the next Winter
Olympics" or "have plastic surgery in three years")
rather than vague long-range aspirations (like saving
"for retirement" or to "buy a house"). In the first
section he unveils a step-by-step process for determining
the precise objectives that motivate us; in the
second he points us toward a mutual-fund-based savings
plan that should be easier to capitalize consistently
because we know where it's taking us and when we'll
get there. Incorporating a profusion of appropriate
cartoon strips, inspirational testimonials, persuasive
statistics, and an unusual assembly of footnotes
that are as amusing as they are informative, Edelman
offers a clear and innovative course of action that
could turn even procrastinating wannabes into enthusiastic
money managers. --Howard Rothman

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden
Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt and
Stephen J. Dubner (Audio
CD - Oct 5 2006) ISBN-10: 0061238538
Rating:
Amazon.com Economics is not widely considered
to be one of the sexier sciences. The annual Nobel Prize
winner in that field never receives as much publicity
as his or her compatriots in peace, literature, or physics.
But if such slights are based on the notion that economics
is dull, or that economists are concerned only with
finance itself, Steven D. Levitt will change some minds.
In Freakonomics (written with Stephen J. Dubner),
Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday
life don't need to be so mysterious: They could be illuminated
and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions
and drawing connections. For example, Levitt traces
the drop in violent crime rates to a drop in violent
criminals and, digging further, to the Roe v. Wade decision
that preempted the existence of some people who would
be born to poverty and hardship. Elsewhere, by analyzing
data gathered from innercity Chicago drug-dealing gangs,
Levitt outlines a corporate structure much like McDonald's,
where the top bosses make great money while scores of
underlings make something below minimum wage. And in
a section that may alarm or relieve worried parents,
Levitt argues that parenting methods don't really matter
much and that a backyard swimming pool is much more
dangerous than a gun. These enlightening chapters are
separated by effusive passages from Dubner's 2003 profile
of Levitt in The New York Times Magazine, which
led to the book being written. In a book filled with
bold logic, such back-patting veers Freakonomics,
however briefly, away from what Levitt actually has
to say. Although maybe there's a good economic reason
for that too, and we're just not getting it yet.

Rating:
From Amazon.com
Anyone mystified by stock options or who simply dismisses
them as too speculative will find Getting Started
in Options an excellent first read on the subject.
Beginning with the premise that it's not the complexity
of the investment but that of its language that makes
options difficult for new investors to understand, author
Michael C. Thomsett has created a guided tour through
the lexicon. The result is a nontechnical introduction
to these specialized markets.

Greed
is Good: The Capitalist Pig Guide to Investing
by Jonathan Hoenig (Audio
Cassette
- May 6 1999)
ISBN-10: 0694521647
Rating:
From Amazon.com
Greed, in Jonathan Hoenig's
estimation, is passion. It's lust. It has nothing to
do with single-minded accumulation and everything to
do with freedom, with the ability to pursue the things
that make you happy. Hoenig received his first real
introduction to greed while working at Starbucks as
a teenager. He found that the money he earned after
buying a few shares of Starbucks stock greatly exceeded
what he made as an after-school wage slave. While in
college, he started a radio show called Capitalist
Pig, which now plays in 18 states. Greed has been
good to Hoenig.
In Greed Is Good,
he wants to share the wealth with his post-baby-boom
generation by preaching the gospel of investing. But
investing isn't just about choosing mutual fund A over
mutual fund B. It's about not spending money on useless
stuff, leaving more money for the things that are meaningful.
Hoenig understands how frills like designer clothes,
CDs, and, yes, Starbucks coffee can seem like necessities,
when really they're lifestyle add-ons that can be eliminated.
Doing without such excesses can be painful, but that's
something else Hoenig believes in; not only is greed
good, so is discipline, sacrifice, and self-denial.
Greed is written in an eclectic style that includes
Yiddish phrases, street slang, and generational cultural
references ("Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"), which
serves two purposes: it's very entertaining to read,
and renders the often-dry message of "Save and invest"
infinitely more palatable. --Lou Schuler

How to Make Money in Stocks : A Winning System in Good
Times or Bad by William J. O'Neil
(Audio
CD - Jun 25 2003) ISBN-10: 0972488928
Rating:
From Amazon.com From the school of unemotional
investing comes the classic How to Make Money in
Stocks, by Wall Street analyst and publisher William
O'Neil. Readers new to securities will find it an excellent
primer, one that relies on time-honored indicators such
as quarterly earnings, market capitalization, and daily
indexes. O'Neil's study of winning stocks stretches
back to the 1960s, and he shares his insights here,
describing what characterizes a growth stock, when to
cut your losses (at 7 or 8 percent, no more), and how
to spot a market top.
The techniques in How to Make Money in Stocks
are hardly revolutionary, but therein lies their strength,
as O'Neil claims his is "a winning system in good times
or bad." Investors interested in Net stocks might be
disappointed--the author's first rule is that a company
must show a pattern of growing profits, which disqualifies
many dot coms. (Try
Rule Breakers, Rule Makers for a different take.)
O'Neil's approach to stocks is, above all, rational,
and he pays little heed to market hype.
Those new to investing would do well to read this book
before embarking, and even more seasoned traders may
find How to Make Money in Stocks a refreshing
return to basics. Markets may swing bull and bear, but
O'Neil promises to stand firm. --Demian McLean

In the investment-management business, it's best to
take bows quickly. Unless, of course, you're John Neff,
a living legend, who as manager of Vanguard's Windsor
Fund beat the market in 22 out of 31 years. Neff grew
Windsor to become the largest mutual fund by combing
the bargain basement for quality merchandise and selling
as other investors caught on. In John Neff on Investing,
he explains how he scoured the daily list of stocks
hitting new lows, the "dusty rag and bone shop of the
market," to find out-of-favor companies with low price/earnings
ratios, those growing faster than seven percent a year,
that paid generous dividends. He shows how to distinguish
misunderstood and overlooked stocks from those with
lackluster prospects.

The Little Book That Beats the Market
by Joel Greenblatt and Adam Grupper
(Audio
CD
- Jan 30 2006)
ISBN-10:
0743555856
Rating:
From Publishers Weekly Contrary to efficient-market
naysayers, this engaging investment primer contends
that ordinary stock-market investors can indeed get
better-than-market returns over the long haul. Greenblatt
(You Can Be a Stock Market Genius), a Columbia
Business School adjunct professor, touts a "value-oriented"
approach that looks for bargain stocks whose share price
is cheap relative to the company's profitability. His
version is a "magic formula" that ranks stocks on the
basis of two variables—the earnings yield and the business's
return on capital. His Web site, magicformulainvesting.com,
virtually automates the procedure for novices. Greenblatt
offers lots of statistical proof of the formula's success,
but emphasizes the importance of faith in seeing the
investor through inevitable short-term downturns: "It
will be your belief in the overwhelming logic of the
magic formula that will make the formula work for you
in the long run." He conveys his ideas through a lucid
if rudimentary and rather corny explanation of basic
investment concepts about risk, return, interest and
business valuation. Although the fabulous returns he
touts seem too good to be true, Greenblatt's formula
is a reasonable variant of mainstream value-investing
methods. Investors seeking a little more hands-on excitement
than the average mutual fund offers won't go too far
wrong following his advice. (Jan.) Copyright

through the wreckage of the dot-com crash and offers

the winners will be in the next few years. Frank's basic
premise: the Internet is here to stay, and that every
company will in some way soon be an Internet company.
He begins the book with an insightful chapter on the
merger of AOL and Time Warner, calling the new company
"the paradigm of the new economy." Frank then examines
all the categories of Internet stocks and the companies
within, including consumer (Amazon.com, Yahoo!, E-Trade),
business to business (Ariba, I2, DoubleClick), and infrastructure
companies (Akamai, Oracle, VeriSign). In all, NetWorth
is a useful overview of this downtrodden sector that
should interest anyone with a long investing horizon

The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution Against Political
Corruption and Economic Chaos by Ravi Batra
and Brian Emerson (Audio
CD - Jan 2007) ISBN-10: 0786161914
No Rating
From Publishers WeeklyAfter nearly 20
years of predicting economic disaster, Batra ( Greenspan's
Fraud, etc.) suggests a reversal, though only
after we rise up in revolution against the forces
of chaos. This time, he charges politicians, academics,
business executives and rich people with "corruption,"
defined as "any policy that enriches the rich and
impoverishes the poor and the middle class." Among
the practices Batra censures are raising congressional
pay but not the minimum wage, and cutting income
taxes while increasing Social Security taxes. Though
the analysis is keen and provocative and the conclusions
unorthodox as ever, his specific economic predictions
aren't likely to be any better than those in his
11 previous books. Though he admits that "three
or four" of his previous predictions "have been
wrong," and "the cycle of depression has misfired,"
he gives no specifics. His examples of successful
predictions sidestep his previous books, citing
anecdotes from unrecorded private conversations.
Some readers might wish Batra would stick to analysis
and exposition, at which he excels, and leave off
the name-calling and the wild predictions that mar
this effort. (Feb.) Copyright © Reed

themselves sitting atop the best-seller charts with
The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets
of America's Wealthy (1996), in which they profiled
the surprisingly frugal lifestyles and spending habits
of America's "hidden" millionaires. Now Edelman hopes
to garner the same attention with this survey of 5,000
of his clients who are "predominately middle-class"
but successful investors. Edelman, a financial planner
and popular talk-show host, is already the author of
The New Rules of Money: 88 Strategies for Financial
Success Today (1998) and The Truth about Money:
"Because Money Doesn't Come with Instructions" (1996).
He uncovers eight basic "secrets" that, in several cases,
run counter to prevailing financial wisdom. Don't pay
down your mortgage! Don't diversify your retirement
plan contributions! After explaining each strategy,
Edelman lets his survey respondents speak "in their
own words." David Rouse --This text refers

From Amazon.com
With nerves of steel and a cool head, mutual-fund manager
Mark Mobius travels the globe in search of good, undiscovered
companies in risky, emerging markets. In Passport
to Profits, he takes you on a enlightening international
tour, from Estonia to Russia to Nigeria. He shows you
how he's established a winning long-term record at Franklin
Templeton funds, up an average 20 percent a year between
1987 and 1997. "I'd toured rubber plantations in Thailand
and road-tested bikes over the pothole-ridden roads
of rural China. I'd choked on roasted camel's meat,
sheep's eyeball, guinea pig and dined (surprisingly
well) on scorpions on toast," Mobius writes, "all to
find undervalued companies before other investors do.
I think you could safely say that I'm driven."

Public Enemies
by Bryan Burrough and Campbell Scott
(Audio
Cassette - Jul 19 2004) ISBN-10: 0743527402
No Rating
Book Description
The astonishing true story
of America's first and greatest "War on Crime."
In Public Enemies,
Bryan Burrough strips away a thick layer of myths put
out by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI to tell the full story
of the most spectacular crime wave in American history,
the two-year battle between the young Hoover and an
assortment of criminals who became national icons: John
Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby
Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barkers.
In 1933, police jurisdictions
ended at state lines, the FBI was in its infancy, and
fast cars and machine guns were easily available. It
was a great time to be a bank robber. On hand were a
motley crew of criminal masterminds, sociopaths, romantics,
and cretins.
Bryan Burrough has unearthed
an extraordinary amount of new material on all the major
figures involved -- revealing many fascinating interconnections
in the vast underworld ecosystem that stretched from
Texas up to Minnesota.
But the real-life connections
were insignificant next to the sense of connectedness
J. Edgar Hoover worked to create in the mind of the
American public-using the "Great Crime Wave" to gain
the position of untouchable power he would occupy for
almost half a century.

(Audio

ISBN-10: 1586210920
Rating:
From Amazon.com The rich are different from
the rest of us, if for no other reason than U.S. tax
and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that
keep us from catching up to them. That's why 90 percent
of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10 percent
of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone
to move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different
view of investing than most people have: it takes a
plan to be a successful investor. And a plan is more
than simply buying and selling, or collecting "assets"
that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to liabilities.
The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing
a wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical,
automatic, and boring," a formula for success that has
worked historically for most of those who've used it.
Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the father of his best
friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game Monopoly:
buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel,
and repeat until you become rich.

Rich Dad's Who Took My Money?
by Robert T Kiyosaki (Audio
CD
- May 1 2004)
ISBN-10: 1586216511
Rating:
From Booklist The eighth book in the Rich
Dad series reveals the financial wisdom of the rich,
which is neither taught in schools nor discussed in
the popular financial press. The authors begin with
an example of the Zen master-student relationship that
Kiyosaki had with his Rich Dad mentor. Kiyosaki had
made the mistake of many inexperienced investors and
bought into a mutual fund he knew nothing about; his
Rich Dad let him stay with the bad investment for months
to learn the lesson of patience. Kiyosaki also learned
that the common advice to "invest for the long term,
buy, hold and diversify" is not really advice but actually
a sales pitch, and it teaches very little about how
to become a smart investor. The reason most people continue
to choose mutual-fund investing is because it is so
easy, and that is also why it is inherently risky. Kiyosaki
and his coauthor emphasize investing in asset classes
other than equities, such as a business venture, real
estate, and paper assets like hedge funds and options.
These approaches require more thought, education, and
effort than does simply handing one's money over to
a financial company and allowing a stranger to control
it, but the risks are lower and the potential financial
rewards can be much greater. Certain to be in demand
at the circulation desk. David Siegfried

The Savage Truth on Money
by Terry Savage and Anna Fields
(Audio
CD
- Sep 2000)
ISBN-10: 0786198532
Rating:
From Amazon.com
Whether it's the invisible chat room jockey pumping
penny stocks or the silver-haired Peter Lynch hawking
Fidelity Investments, finding financial advice these
days is pretty easy, and for most of us the real problem
is not getting advice, it's getting good advice.
Which is something that Terry Savage dispenses in good
measure in The Savage Truth on Money.
It's not that Savage
has found a new way to get rich. She hasn't. What makes
this book work is her commonsense approach to attaining
financial security. At the heart of Savage's advice
is the notion that getting ahead is a matter of "self-discipline,"
which "means making knowledgeable decisions based on
a rational assessment of likely results and then sticking
to your decisions in the face of emotional upheaval."
Forget about sticking your head in the sand--for Savage,
knowledge is power, and knowledge begins when you examine
your own relationship to money. She encourages getting
online as way to manage your finances, educate yourself,
and seek out new opportunities. The book is filled with
insights on topics such as risk management, investing
in mutual funds, saving for college, and buying insurance.
Savage's experience
as a financial journalist (print, television, online),
stockbroker, the first woman member of the Chicago Board
Options Exchange, as well as her service on the Board
of Directors of McDonald's and Devon Energy Corporation
brings a air of credibility that's hard to find in books
of this ilk. The Savage Truth on Money is for
people who think seriously about their money, no matter
how smart they think they are. --Harry C. Edwards

with Donald Trump himselfone of the nations leading
business journalists reveals the good, the bad, and
most of all, the ridiculous truth behind the public
image of The Donald. Whatever anyone thinks of Donald
Trump, the truth is far more complexand fascinating.
Instead of society nightlife, most evenings hes at home

needed a loan from his siblings to stay afloat. His
name is featured on some of the worlds most magnificent
buildings and casinos, while a $1.8 billion debt hangs
over his company. Hell use a friends cell phone to save
money on a call. Hell call a journalist a total whack
job on television, then turn around and invite him to
fly down to Palm Beach on his private jet. These are
the contradictions of Trumps world, and beneath the
public faade, theres a man few people ever see. Now,
New York Times business reporter Timothy L. OBrien pulls
back the velvet curtain surrounding The Donaldwith access
rarely granted to a reporter beforeand takes the polish
off the image of Americas so called most popular billionaire.

Rating:
From Amazon.com
It's no secret that most mutual funds fail to beat the
performance of the S&P 500. And if the pros can't beat
the averages, it's not unreasonable to assume that most
individual investors can't, either. Why? According to
Robert Hagstrom, author of The Warren Buffett Portfolio,
a big reason is the industry's emphasis on diversification.
In the interest of minimizing risk, many investors have
"become intellectually numb to its inevitable consequence:
mediocre results." As a result, they wind up owning
too many stocks and churn their portfolios unnecessarily
(for example, the average mutual fund holds 100 stocks
and turns over 80 percent of its portfolio annually).
In The Warren Buffett Portfolio, Hagstrom shows
how Buffett and others use the idea of focus investing
to organize winning portfolios.

Your Money Matters: 21 Tips for Achieving Financial
Security in the 21st Century

ISBN-10: 0671047949
Rating:
From Amazon.com
Your Money Matters, by prolific financial author
and TV commentator Jonathan Pond, proposes a 21-point
money-management program for those nearing retirement
age as well as those for whom retirement is still a
distant consideration. With humor and a clever division
of the particulars into tip-packed chapters bearing
such titles as "Live Beneath Your Means (Without Depriving
Yourself)," "Learn How to Tolerate Your Loved One's
Annoying Financial Habits," and "Bulls Make Money, Bears
Make Money, but Pigs and Lambs Get Slaughtered," Pond
dispenses a wealth of practical data on handling "the
most important financial matters that you'll need to
attend to in the 21st century." A bold claim, but one
backed up with a slew of sensible suggestions for increasing
your savings and apportioning the resultant nest egg
to provide comfortably for your future needs. Along
the way, Pond offers opinions and outlines applicable
strategies on issues including technology stocks as
a viable investment, the need for long-term-care insurance,
and the best ways to fund a child's education or the
care for an aging parent. He also includes pointers
to pages on his Web site that offer additional information
on health-insurance plans, home-equity loans, investment-allocation
procedures, and many other supportive issues. --Howard
