One Up On Wall Street
cover

Peter Lynch is America's number-one money manager. His mantra: Average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick winning stocks as effectively as Wall Street professionals by doing just a little research.

Now, in a new introduction written specifically for this edition of One Up on Wall Street, Lynch gives his take on the incredible rise of Internet stocks, as well as a list of twenty winning companies of high-tech '90s. That many of these winners are low-tech supports his thesis that amateur investors can continue to reap exceptional rewards from mundane, easy-to-understand companies they encounter in their daily lives.

Investment opportunities abound for the layperson, Lynch says. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your immediate world -- from the mall to the workplace -- you can discover potentially successful companies before professional analysts do. This jump on the experts is what produces "tenbaggers," the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.

The former star manager of Fidelity's multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund, Lynch reveals how he achieved his spectacular record. Writing with John Rothchild, Lynch offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots by reviewing a company's financial statements and by identifying which numbers really count. He explains how to stalk tenbaggers and lays out the guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.

Lynch promises that if you ignore the ups and downs of the market and the endless speculation about interest rates, in the long term (anywhere from five to fifteen years) your portfolio will reward you. This advice has proved to be timeless and has made One Up on Wall Street a number-one bestseller. And now this classic is as valuable in the new millennium as ever.

Income for Life-From Real Estate: How the Tortoise Got Rich
cover
This book is about INVESTING, not LANDLORDING or MANAGING. The difference is that investing is essentially passive, while the others are really a job which requires you to live near your "investments" and to become expert at their many nuances. True investing uses hired experts to do the work, freeing you to pursue your normal life. Your wealth builds without requiring you to work. If you move, or retire, or become sick or disabled, or just take a long trip, all of your investments continue unaffected. Twenty years ago investing in income property was mostly landlording and managing properties and tenants. The advent of true professional management, with its own professional organizations, certifications, and code of ethics has opened the door for Al Lee's method of investing.

Also, this book includes the most comprehensive evaluation criteria (including computerized tools to help you) of properties available anywhere. The evaluation is based on objective financial criteria (as it should be for an investment), not some subjective feeling that you are "getting a good deal".


Real Estate: The World's Greatest Wealth Builder
cover
Sheets' publicist claims that How to Buy Your First Home or Investment Property with No Down Payment, Sheets' television "program" of 15 years, is the longest-running infomercial in the history of American television--a distinction that may be seen as dubious to some. This book will be a lure for those who have yet to shell out $149 to buy Sheets' home-study course or to attend one of his pricey seminars, but there is little more here than they would get from staying up late to catch Sheets on cable television. Here is the self-congratulatory autobiographical sketch, the giddy promotion, the countless testimonials, the bold promise of "creat[ing] wealth out of thin air," and the inevitable pitch for the "advanced" course and the seminar. To be sure, Sheets tantalizes would-be real estate tycoons with advice on buying property, making offers, and property management. He explains the concept of "positive cash flow," collecting rents on property for which no down payment was made; but alas, this is much easier said than done. Regardless, expect demand. David Rouse

Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money
cover

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
cover
Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. --Howard Rothman

Achieving Financial Liberty
cover
Achieving Financial Liberty is not just a title of a book. It's one of the most inspiring stories of this century, how actual people, taken from the unemployment lines in St. Louis , Missouri changed their lives. Robert Allen's colossal number one best seller Nothing Down established him as one of the most influential investment advisors of all time. In his following best sellers, Creating Wealth, The Challenge and Nothing Down for the 90's, Robert Allen expanded on his highly profitable wealth-building techniques and philosophy. As he proved in his own life, it doesn't matter how much or how little you have to start with, as long as you understand the right principles.

Achieving Financial Liberty tells the story of real people and how each overcame overwhelming obstacles to seek their own financial success and how through Robert Allen's training, they achieved financial liberty. His surprisingly simple and effective strategies can help any investor amass and maintain a fortune starting with little or no money, even in today's volatile financial climate. "The first step to becoming wealthy," Allen says, "is to stop thinking poor." He shows how most of us have been programmed to think that saving is good, debt and risk-taking bad, and that in our efforts to gain security, we disqualify ourselves from ever making a substantial amount of money. By developing a wealthy mindset, you can launch yourself into financial self-reliance.

Robert Allen's practical and innovative investment advice, combined with a realistic set of goals and a firm commitment to getting ahead, can help you achieve a level of success you never thought possible.

The book includes the stories of Mary Bonenberger, mother of two and the wife of a minister, struggling to make ends meet; Philip Moore, a young man born in the ghettos of St. Louis; Nora Jean Boles, a middle-aged single parent, behind in her own mortgage payments and about to be foreclosed. Their stories are real; they are living proof that achieving financial liberty in America is possible for anyone who has the knowledge, the ability to overcome their fear of failure and is willing to learn and implement the strategies of winning.

As one reads the stories in this book, you will find images of yourself in them; their dreams; and their goals. And as George Elliott quoted, "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

How to Retire Rich: Time-Tested Strategies to Beat the Market and Retire in Style
cover
Some investment books claim only one true path to stock-market riches. Fund manager James O'Shaughnessy has five, and he has the data to back them up. He was the first independent researcher to be granted full access to a Standard & Poor's database containing computerized information on almost 10,000 stocks going back to 1951. From the data, O'Shaughnessy derived five portfolio-building strategies that, over the past 45 years, have consistently beaten the market average. How to Retire Rich also contains a wealth of useful information on mutual funds, online trading, and using the Internet to research stocks.
