In a stock market environment dominated by professional
investors, "A Few Good Eggs in One Basket" o ers a plain-talk
approach to pro tability by selecting and managing an investment
portfolio of common stocks for an individual.
Author Richard L. Gunderson, who has been an investor for more
than forty years, outlines an enduring framework that improves the
odds for the individual investor to exceed the performance of the
market over the long term by buying good companies at bargain
prices. He outlines what constitutes a "good" company and how to
determine when a price meets the test of being a "bargain." "A Few
Good Eggs in One Basket" also helps individual investors by
discussing
what to look for; where to look; when to buy; when to sell; and
how many stocks to own.
"A Few Good Eggs in One Basket" presents a prescription designed
to take advantage of opportunities created by market overreaction
to bad news and disappointing results. Gunderson believes there are
always bargains at any time and in any market. The challenge is to
consistently apply a disciplined approach to identifying the
unusual and favorable opportunities and concentrating a portfolio
on those stocks representing the best combination of overall
quality and intrinsic value.

Do you know your Number?
What happens if you don't make it to your Number?
Do you have a plan?
The often-avoided, anxiety-riddled discussion about financial
planning for a secure and fulfilling future has been given a new
starting point in "The Number" by Lee Eisenberg. The buzz of
professionals and financial industry insiders everywhere, the
Number represents the amount of money and resources people will
need to enjoy the active life they desire, especially post-career.
Backed by imaginative reporting and insights, Eisenberg urges
people to assume control and responsibility for their standard of
living, and take greater aim on their long-term aspirations.
From Wall Street to Main Street USA, the Number means different
things to different people. It is constantly fluctuating in
people's minds and bank accounts. To some, the Number symbolizes
freedom, validation of career success, the ticket to luxurious
indulgences and spiritual exploration; to others, it represents the
bewildering and nonsensical nightmare of an impoverished existence
creeping up on them in their old age, a seemingly hopeless
inevitability that they would rather simply ignore than confront.
People are highly private and closed-mouthed when it comes to
discussing their Numbers, or lack thereof, for fear they might
either reveal too much or display ineptitude.
In "The Number," Eisenberg describes this secret anxiety as the
"Last Taboo," a conundrum snared in confusing financial lingo. He
sorts through the fancy jargon and translates the Number into
commonsense advice that resonates just as easily with the aging
gods and goddesses of corporate boardrooms as it does with ordinary
people who are beginning to realize that retirement is now just a
couple of decades away. Believing that the Number is as much about
self-worth as it is net worth, Eisenberg strives to help readers
better understand and more efficiently manage all aspects of their
life, money, and pursuit of happiness.
Discover how financial freedom - and not fairy tales - is at the
heart of your very own Happy Ever After Did you know you can become
a millionaire by saving just $7 a day and investing for 7% returns?
Probably not, because financial literacy is a subject that's
overlooked by the vast majority of schools and universities,
despite its importance to every single person on the planet.
Written initially for a teenage daughter and then turned into a
course to train migrant workers, Happy Ever After: Financial
Freedom Isn't a Fairy Tale focuses on the fundamentals of
understanding money, saving and investing, showing how the "magic"
of compound investing can transform tiny initial amounts into
genuine wealth. Finally, it shows readers how to achieve the
"Freedom Formula" of 25x your annual spending - that can set you
free. Perfect for anyone who hopes to make their future financially
brighter than their present, or help their own children avoid
mistakes they made, Happy Ever After has a playful tone, featuring
a spoiled princess and talking frog, hand-illustrated to help
explain some of the trickier ideas that can help change your life.
-Your daughter, maxed out on credit cards, asks you to co-sign a
lease.
-Your son can't afford rent and needs to move back home.
-Your ex-daughter-in-law is laid off, losing your grandchildren's
health insurance.
-Your nephew agrees to enter an expensive addiction treatment
program.
-Your older son, recently diagnosed with Adult Attention Deficit
Disorder, is months behind on his mortgage payments.
Millions of parents face these dilemmas, years after they
thought their children would be independent. As you extend
financial assistance, how can you help a young adult become prudent
and accountable?
In "Trust Me," family psychologist Kenneth Kaye and his son,
Nick, use the experience of Nick's struggle with what he calls
"Attention Money Disorder" to combine a no-nonsense strategy,
practical advice, business wisdom, and dozens of examples. They
show you step by step how to negotiate a "Deal" with your young
adult, rebuilding mutual trust and nurturing the skills and habits
of a self-supporting grown-up.
"I love this wonderfully practical, down-to-earth, funny,
thoughtful, warm, subversive book. Subversive because those who
follow the two Kayes' advice will be better mentors, but also more
financially responsible themselves. Every parent or relative who's
worried about subsidizing an adult child needs this book."
-Joline Godfrey, Author, "Raising Financially Fit Kids"

argue why the government conspires to keep people poor and

business development as he explores the vast differences between
what he feels God wants spiritual seekers to achieve and the

improve their financial status and well-being by including advice
