"Mr. Wasik's distillation of how Keynes made--and then
remade--his fortune is instructive. And the principles that Keynes
followed have stood the test of time. As Mr. Wasik adds, 'The
object of investing is to ensure prosperity, not to become obsessed
with making money.'"
"The New York Times"
John Maynard Keynes indelibly made his mark on global
economics...
Few people know, however, that he was also a daring,
steel-nerved investor who built a multimilliondollar fortune in the
stock market while providing financial counsel to the likes of
Winston Churchill and FDR. Now, you can learn from--and
imitate--Keynes's success by examining the story of his lifeand
investment strategies, masterfully told by awardwinning author John
F. Wasik.
As you follow Keynes from his early years with the Bloomsbury
Group, through two world wars and the Great Depression Keynes's
theories and practices come to life by way of the historic and
personal events that shaped them. Like today's investors, Keynes
faced markets roiled by panic, inflation, deflation, widespread
unemployment, and war--and he developed a core set of principles to
prosper in every climate. With the individual investor in mind,
this straightforward guide makes it easy for investors at all
levels to implement the action-oriented strategies presented in
each of the 10 chapters and start investing like Keynes today by:
Buying and holding quality stocks Ignoring short-term news Building
diversified portfolios Trading contrary to market momentum Getting
the most out of dividend stocks
Using the eloquent insight of a seasoned investment writer,
author John F. Wasik digs down into what investments Keynes owned,
how he bought and sold them, how his theories guided his
investments, and vice versa. He illustrates why Keynes's ideas,
insights, and portfolio strategies have withstood the test of time,
and how they will continue to produce financial gains for dedicated
investors. In a nutshell, Wasik delivers a pragmatic guide to the
style of portfolio management practiced by such Keynes followers as
Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Charles Munger.
The smart money gets richer in all types of weather, and so can
you by following "Keynes's Way to Wealth."
