Learn To Earn: A Beginner's Guide To The Basics Of Investing And Business
Mutual fund superstar Peter Lynch and author John Rothchild explain the basic principles of the stock market and business in an investing guide that will enlighten and entertain anyone who is high school age or older.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 & mdash;the fundamentals of our economic system and what they have to do with the stock market & mdash;aren & rsquo;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 & rsquo;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 & mdash;and the basic principles behind public companies haven & rsquo;t changed in more than three hundred years.In Learn to Earn, Lynch and Rothchild explain in a style accessible to anyone who is high school age or older how to read a stock table in the daily newspaper, how to understand a company annual report, and why everyone should pay attention to the stock market. They explain not only how to invest, but also how to think like an investor.
The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio: Warren Buffett's Current Stock Picks And Why He Is Investing
Bestselling authors Mary Buffett and David Clark examine seventeen companies that Warren Buffett has bought for himself and for his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, as durable investments and explain why these companies are once again selling at prices that offer great long-term growth prospects.Warren Buffett has always believed that the time to buy stocks is when nobody else wants them. Even some of the most amazing businesses & mdash;those with a durable competitive advantage & mdash;are trading at prices and price-to-earnings ratios that offer investors serious long-term moneymaking opportunities. Pessimism about the banking situation in Europe and unemployment in America have created the perfect storm to bring stock prices down and present value-oriented investors some great possibilities.In Warren Buffett & rsquo;s world, as stock prices decrease, the prospects for investment increase. Putting a number on those prospects tells Warren whether or not the stock is an attractive buy. The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio explains how to do just that & mdash;how to value companies and conservatively estimate the kind of future return that an investment is offering at its current market price. Mary Buffett and David Clark look at stocks in Warren & rsquo;s portfolio as the basis for their analysis.After a brief history of Warren & rsquo;s investment strategy, Buffett and Clark explain how to interpret a company & rsquo;s per-share earnings and per-share book-value histories to quickly identify which companies have a durable competitive advantage and to project the compounding annual rate of return that an investment offers. The authors provide case studies and evaluations of seventeen companies in Warren Buffett & rsquo;s portfolio.The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio is a valuable companion to the other books in Buffett and Clark & rsquo;s successful series & mdash;Buffettology, The Buffettology Workbook, The New Buffettology, The Tao of Warren Buffett, Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements, Warren Buffett & rsquo;s Management Secrets, and Warren Buffett and the Art of Stock Arbitrage
When planning for the future we often ask, & ldquo;What will the economy be doing this time next year? & rdquo; Or, & ldquo;What will be different ten years from now? & rdquo; But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.

Where The Money Is - Value Investing In The Digital Age
& ldquo;One of the best books I have read on investing in years. & rdquo; & mdash;Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital ManagementFrom a successful investor and a contributor to Barron & rsquo;s and Fortune comes a once-in-a-lifetime book that gives modern investors what they need most: a fresh guide to making money in a stock market now dominated by tech stocks.Technological change is reshaping the economy in a way not witnessed since Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. A little more than ten years ago, only two of the ten most valuable publicly traded companies in the world were digital enterprises & mdash;today, they comprise eight of the top ten. Investors around the world are struggling to understand the Digital Age and how they can use the stock market to profit from it.Author Adam Seessel understands. Several years ago, he watched his old-school portfolio built using traditional value investing principles decline while the market, driven by & ldquo;expensive & rdquo; tech stocks, advanced. Determined to reverse course, he set off in search of a new investment paradigm, one that remained true to the discipline that Ben Graham gave us a century ago while reflecting the new realities of the Digital Age.In this & ldquo;helpful take on playing the stock market & rdquo; (Publishers Weekly), Seessel introduces a refreshed value-based framework that any investor, professional or amateur, can use to beat the modern market. Like all sectors, the tech sector follows certain rules. We can study these rules, understand them, and invest accordingly. The world is changing, and we can profit from it.Approaching tech this way, the economy & rsquo;s current changes and the rapid rise of tech stocks are not reasons to be frightened or disoriented & mdash;they & rsquo;re reasons to be excited. Infused with the same kind of optimism and common sense that inspired Benjamin Graham & rsquo;s The Intelligent Investor and Peter Lynch & rsquo;s One Up on Wall Street, Where the Money Is ushers in a new era of modern value investing.

The Sceptical Investor: How Contrarians Bet Against The Market And Win - And You Can Too
Everyone wants to be a contrarian investor.From the hedge funds who bet against the US housing market in the run up to 2008, to George Soros & rsquo;s billion-dollar bet against the Bank of England in 1992, some of the most famous and most profitable trades in history have been contrarian calls.And with the relentless growth of passive investing - investors blindly following the market - the opportunities for a smart investor to profit by betting against the crowd should be greater than ever.Yet being a contrarian is hard work.It takes patience, the conviction to stand by an unpopular viewpoint, and the mental toughness to endure being 'wrong' for prolonged periods of time. Standing out from the crowd goes against our every natural instinct.Which is, of course, why it works.So how do you go about it? There is no single, mechanical investment approach that marks an investor out as a contrarian. Instead, you need to adopt a sceptical mindset: a flexible mode of thinking that allows you to stand back and spot when the market & rsquo;s view of the world is badly out of touch with reality - and the best way to profit when reality eventually reasserts itself.In The Sceptical Investor, John Stepek, executive editor of MoneyWeek, pulls together the latest research on behavioural finance, and examples from well-known contrarian investors, to offer practical techniques to help you to spot opportunities in common investment situations, from turnaround plays to bubbles and busts, that others in the market miss.It won't make you popular and it won't make you famous. But it will make you money.
