"One of the best books I have read on investing in years. " -Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management From a successful investor and a contributor to Barron'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-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 "expensive" 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 "helpful take on playing the stock market" (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's current changes and the rapid rise of tech stocks are not reasons to be frightened or disoriented-they're reasons to be excited. Infused with the same kind of optimism and common sense that inspired Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor and Peter Lynch's One Up on Wall Street, Where the Money Is ushers in a new era of modern value investing.

Best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the #1 personal finance book of all time - Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. In FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets, Robert Kiyosaki delivers insights and answers that help ordinary people - who probably haven't had a lot of financial education - determine what's 'real' and relevant to their financial lives. Robert Kiyosaki has built a legacy around simplifying complex and often-confusing subjects like money and investing. He continues to challenge conventional wisdom and asks the questions that will help readers sift through today's information overload to use truth and facts as a foundation for taking control of their financial lives. Robert pulls no punches in his assessment of what is passed off as 'fact' or conventional wisdom and believes that a strong foundation - for anything we want to build - needs to start with solid, true information. In today's uncertain times, creating a secure financial future and the peace of mind that comes with it starts with taking action and taking control. Every day we are bombarded with news reports and information and opinions. How do we decipher fact from fiction? How do we differentiate between truth and lies? And determine what's real...from what isn't? Robert believes that it starts with education: financial education designed to make us smarter with our money and better able to fight what's fake and use what isn't to secure our financial future.
