Bull`s Eye Investing: Targeting Real Returns In A Smoke And Mirrors Ma Description: A must-read investment roadmap to help investors target real returns in the marketThe era of buying and holding stocks is gone and will not return for some time. Investors need to learn to target where the market is going to be, not where it has been. Knowing where the economy and markets are going is the key to successful investing in the future. Financial expert John Mauldin makes a powerful, almost irrefutable case regarding the future direction of the markets. He then details a new approach to investing that will allow readers to adjust to what he demonstrates is the new reality of investing. Investors need to become familiar with absolute return vehicles, including hedge funds, certain types of bonds, and other value-oriented investments, if they intend to make money and retire comfortably. Mauldin argues that traditional stock portfolios should not be the primary investment vehicle for individual investors. Indeed, he credibly argues they will be a disappointment, if not a disaster, over the next decade, mirroring the results of similarly difficult markets like the 1970s. He shows readers how they must look for other options and be wary of the marketing promises and data used by brokers and mutual funds to attract investors. Filled with in-depth insight, copious groundbreaking research and practical advice, Leading the Markets will help readers choose stable and secure investments that will enable them to profit in turbulent markets.John Mauldin (Richland Hills, TX) is President of Millennium Wave Investments. He has more than 20 years experience in the investment world, formerly serving as CEO of the American Bureau of Economic Research and was a partner inProFutures Investments. He is a recognized investment expert, particularly on the subject of hedge funds, and is a frequent guest on financial television and radio, including CNBC and nationally syndicated financial radio shows.
