FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
For the past decade, gold prices have been on a "breathtaking ascent" and have reached some of the "highest recorded summits" in modern history. Many investors speculate that these values will rise even further. History has shown us that the strength or weakness of the global economy determines the value of this "iconic" precious metal. Rising gold prices often "coincide" with weakening currencies and economic uncertainty and act as a "compass" indicating the direction the economy is heading. Being able to read this compass is critical Beginning with the credit crisis of 2008 and the deep recession that followed, our Treasury has engaged in "massive stimulus" programs by "borrowing and spending almost $1 trillion"""and our central bank (the Fed) has supported a "massive and unprecedented expansion" of the money supply--both threatening to weaken our currency and trigger a painful cascade of inflation. The meteoric rise in the value of gold reflects a common, global perception that world currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, are "under threat." When investors distrust the stability of a nation's currency--especially a currency as important to global commerce as the dollar--they look for "hard assets of true value" that can protect their hard-earned wealth. Learn how you, too, can safeguard your wealth, hedge against adversity, and diversify your portfolio through gold investing. In this book, you will find answers to those questions on "everyone's" mind: - Why is the price of gold increasing so quickly and dramatically? - What do these increases tell us about the health of the overall economy? - Can gold be a safe haven for wealth and a hedge against economic turmoil? - What does the modern investor need to know about gold? - Where and how can I buy or invest in gold?

Unlike many personal finance books, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any was specifically written for Americans who struggle to make it on a monthly basis.

Rather than emphasizing wealth creation, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any teaches readers to do the best they can with their income no matter its size.

Many people spend their lives searching for the means to acquire
tremendous financial wealth. They look to external resources to
give them what they want, and are ultimately disappointed when
their dreams don't turn out the way they had planned. They either
become incredibly wealthy at the expense of their spiritual well
being, family, and friends, or they never acquire the riches
they've aspired to, and in their disappointment, they discover
they've lost all sense of self-worth.

2011 Reprint of 1922 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Richard D. Wyckoff's writings never grow old. This book was originally published in 1922; it is still timely. Wyckoff's modus operandi was to have a small trading account ("not over five or ten per cent of my loose capital") and invest its profits into income-paying securities with the potential to appreciate in value. Wyckoff justified the size of his trading account psychologically. "There is a much greater satisfaction in operating with a small amount of money for various reasons: It makes you more careful, because, having set yourself to the task of realizing a large profit on a limited amount of operating capital, you plan your moves shrewdly and do not take risks such as you would if operating with more money." (pp. 42-43) And then there's the emotional high of seeing outsized returns on a percentage basis. Chapters Include: 1. My First Lessons in Investing and Trading 2. Profitable Experiences in the Brokerage and Publishing Fields 3. Why I Buy Certain Stocks and Bonds 4. Unearthing Profit Opportunities 5. Some Good Experiences in Mining Stocks 6. The Fundamentals of Successful Investing 7. The Story of a Little Odd-Lot 8. The Rules I Follow in Trading and Investing 9. Forecasting Future Developments 10. The Truth About 'Averaging Down' 11. Some Definite Conclusions as to Foresight and Judgement 12. Safeguarding Your Capital 13. How Millions are Lost in Wall Street 14. The Importance of Knowing Who Owns a Stock
