Description

Today's best investment minds offer their proven investment advice

With all the "noise" in today's financial markets, it's hard to know what things are truly critical to successful investing. That's why John Mauldin asked some of the best minds in the investment business to write about the "one thing" they had learned over their many years that they want their kids to know about investing and making money. The result is a fountain of individual financial wisdom that collectively makes up one of the most powerful compilations published in many years.

Rather than being research-orientated and technical in nature, the "one thing" discussed by each seasoned and very successful investment professional is based specifically on the knowledge they have accumulated over the years.

Each expert's experiences and advice are carefully distilled into separate, easy-to-grasp, brilliantly written essays–so that investors of all levels can understand and implement the strategies revealed. Besides discussing a single investment principle, each contributor also shares their experiences in the markets, so that readers can learn how to take advantage of profitable opportunities as well as avoid costly pitfalls.

Interesting read - although you'll note that the author includes himself in the 12 of the world's best investors. Often there is more than 'just one thing' so the title and jacket are misleading. Nevertheless there is no harm in being reminded in a succinct collection of essays the things that matter in trading.
