Amazon ' s Best Investment Book Reviews: Have You Been Brainwashed?
Most popular investment books are hackneyed for the already rich and outstanding, by an industry that has become just too good at the craft of selling books. Rarely will a publisher take a chance with the work of an unknown form. Certainly, it ' s a no brainer to sell a Jim Cramer, Peter Lynch, Robert Kiyosaki, or Maria Bartiromo pull while a uniquely new approach to solving the puzzles of Wall Street, presented by an unknown writer or commentator, requires some considerable financial risk.
Big publishers want to sell already big names; discovering neoteric ones is not in their wheelhouse. Are they answerable for the problems in the economic markets? Of course not, but they do have a obstinate, if indirect, impact. By constantly publishing the same Wall Street friendly scoop, they contribute to the brainwashing.
Without a wider distribution of new ideas based on senile wisdom, Wall Street as simple remains Wall Street as usual and the stock financier remains uninformed and ill advised about the dangers of the financial markets. The largest investment mistake generators are ingeniously ignored by the majority of the books I ' ve read about investing - - - still compounded.
The new generation focus on magazine year instead of market cycle performance; the worship of portfolio market value alone, for all securities, even those purchased solely for income trial; the use of gimmicks and goods instead of securities for portfolio development; the acceptance of speculations as acceptable, " alternative " investments.
Appreciating the differences between investing and speculating, and learning what to conceive from your securities in cyclical markets are things that investors must learn about. Have you been persuaded? These 15 Amazon members are learning to think outside the Wall Street box, without any help ( or investment ) from publishers:
