The bestselling author of Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. Behind the wheel of a yellow, custom-built Mercedes, Rogers and his fianc6e, began their“Millennium Adventure”on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola,Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards, and had many narrow escapes, but they saw the real world from the ground up-the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood- economically,politically, and socially. 作者简介: Born in 1942,JIM ROGERS had his first iob at age five,picking up bottles at baseball games.Winning a scholarship to Yale,Rogers was coxswain on the crew.Upon graduation,he attended Balliol College at Oxfor

When it comes to investing in the stock market, investors have plenty of options: 1. They can do it themselves. Trillions of dollars areinvested this way. (Of course, the only problem here is that most people have no ideahow to analyze and choose individual stocks. Well, not reallythe only problem. Most investors have no idea how toconstruct a stock portfolio, most have no idea when to buy andsell, and most have no idea how much to invest in the firstplace.) 2. They can give it to professionals to invest. Trillions of dollars are invested this way. (Unfortunately most professionals actually underperform the market averages over time. In fact,it may be even harderto pick good professional managers than it is to pick goodindividual stocks.) 3. They can invest in traditional index funds. Trillions of dollars are also invested this way.(The problem isthat investing this way is seriously flawed--and almost a guaranteeof subpar investment returns over time.) 4.

The best investment guide money can buy, with over 1.5 millioncopies sold, now fully revised and updated.
Many investors, including some with substantial portfolios, have only the sketchiest idea of how the stock market works. The reason, say Lynch and Rothchild, is that the basics of investing -- the fundamentals of our economic system and what they have to do with the stock market -- aren't taught in school. At a time when individuals have to make important decisions about saving for college and 401(k) retirement funds, this failure to provide a basic education in investing can have tragic consequences. For those who know what to look for, investment opportunities are everywhere. The average high-school student is familiar with Nike, Reebok, McDonald's, the Gap, and the Body Shop. Nearly every teenager in America drinks Coke or Pepsi, but only a very few own shares in either company or even understand how to buy them. Every student studies American history, but few realize that our country was settled by European colonists financed by public companies in England and Holland -- and the basic principles behi
Today millions of people depend on their 401 (k) plans for their retirement income.Yet when 401(k) and similar programs first became popular over two decades ago, Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad warned that these plans will cause one of the biggest stock market crashes in history...a crash that will financially destroy the unprepared. Now in the new millennium, rich dad's. prophecy is coming true. On April 3, 2000, the U.S. NASDAQ exchange recorded its biggest ever one-day fall.Then Enron and WorldCom declared two of the largest corporate bankruptcies in U.S. history. Exposing the reasons behind the impending crash, RICH DAD'S PROPHECY reveals not only the best ways to safeguard wealth but how to actually prosper from the events to come. Learn: How the fears, dreams, and actions of millions of baby boomers will control the economic future Why the old advice "Buy, hold, and diversify" can lead to f'mancial disaster How another stock market boom is on the horizon before the big bust and when

What isthe problem? Suzanne McGee provides a penetrating look at the forces thattransformed Wall Street from its traditional role as acapital-generating and economy-boosting engine into a behemothoperating with only its own short-term interests in mind and withreckless disregard for the broader financial system and those whorelied on that system for their well being and prosperity. Primary among these influences was “Goldman Sachs envy”: theself-delusion on the part of Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers,Stanley O’Neil of Merrill Lynch, and other power brokers (egged onby their shareholders) that taking more risk would enable theircompanies to make even more money than Goldman Sachs. Thathubris—and that narrow-minded focus on maximizing their

Is your investment in that new Internet stock a sign of stockmarket savvy or an act of peculiarly American speculative folly?How has the psychology of investing changed--and not changed--overthe last five hundred years? Edward Chancellor examines the natureof speculation--from medieval Europe to the Tulip mania of the1630s to today's Internet stock craze. A contributing writer to The Financial Times and The Economist , Chancellorlooks at both the psychological and economic forces that drivepeople to "bet" their money in markets; how markets are made,unmade, and manipulated; and who wins when speculation runsrampant. Drawing colorfully on the words of such speculators as SirIsaac Newton, Daniel Defoe, Ivan Boesky, and Hillary RodhamClinton, Devil Take the Hindmost is part history, partsocial science, and purely illuminating: an erudite and hugelyentertaining book that is more timely today than ever before.

The Rich Dad series, begun in 1997, is based on Kiyosaki's childhood observations of the lessons passed down by his father, a well-educated wage slave, versus those of his closest friend's father, an eighth-grade dropout and multimillionaire. The difference, he determined, is that the poor and middle class work for money, but the rich let money work for them. The wisdom passed on by the rich dad is a type of financial literacy that is never taught in schools. Kiyosaki also developed a board game, Cashflow 101, which is used in his seminars to generate ideas on how to achieve financial independence. This book, the seventh in the series, contains real-life stories of people who applied the Rich Dad principles to their lives and are moving from the rat race of employment to the role of business owner and investor. In their own words, regular folks show how they went from financial struggle and crisis to taking control of their financial education and future. 作者简介: Born and raised in Hawaii
