Review Changewave Investing 2.0: Picking the Next Monster Stocks While Protecting Your Gains in a Volatile Market / Random House Audio:In his groundbreaking first book, Changewave Investing, investment guru Tobin Smith revealed his secrets for scoring triple-digit returns in the stock market by focusing on the emerging sectors that had the best potential for explosive growth, what Smith referred to as change waves. Now, in an all new audiobook that extends the ChangeWave philosophy to grapple with the vagaries of today's turbulent market, he shows investors how to achieve outsized returns even as the country downshifts from the irrational exuberance of the "bubble" economy to an economy based on real companies and real profits. Changewave Investing 2. 0 presents a radically improved method for picking the next monster stocks while protecting profits. Creating the highly successful ChangeWave Investment Alliance based on the popular "open source" model of Linux and other innovative technologies, Tobin Smith taught listeners how to profit from the hottest market in history by drawing on the highest quality investment intelligence available-150,000 subscribers and their specialized knowledge of their individual professions. Using the ChangeWave principle he developed, the audiobook explains how to identify the stocks with the fastest growth potential before Wall Street does, how to screen out the pretenders, how to balance a portfolio between aggressive growth stocks and stocks with lower volatility, and how to invest limited resources for maximum returns. Specific guidelines for buying and selling during a volatile market provide savvy advice on embracing and benefiting from market meltdowns. From the ascent of his first book to the top to business bestseller lists, to his role as contributing editor to Fox's Bull and Bears, to the rapid growth of his electronic network, Tobin Smith's impact on the investment community has had the momentum of a tsunami. With Changewave Investing 2. 0, listeners can learn the strategies and techniques that will allow them to profit from the transformational change our economy is only beginning to experience.

Review John Neff on Investing (Library Edition) / Blackstone Audiobooks:John Neff has proven time and again over the past three decades that bucking the system can pay off big. During his illustrious career as a money manager, Neff flew in the face of conventional wisdom by consistently passing over the big growth stocks of the moment in favor of inexpensive, underperforming ones—and he usually won! During his thirty-one years as a portfolio manager for Vanguard’s Windsor and Gemini Funds, he beat the market twenty-two times, through every imaginable stock market climate, while posting a fifty-seven-fold increase in an initial stake. When Windsor closed its doors to new investors in 1985, it was the largest mutual fund in the United States. Now retired from mutual fund management, Neff is ready to share the investment strategies that earned him international recognition as the “investor’s investor. ” In John Neff on Investing, Neff delineates, for the first time, the principles of his phenomenally successful low p/e approach to investing, and describes the strategies, techniques, and investment decisions that earned him a place alongside Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch in the pantheon of modern investment wizards. In the investment-management business, it's best to take bows quickly. Unless, of course, you're John Neff, a living legend, who as manager of Vanguard's Windsor Fund beat the market in 22 out of 31 years. Neff grew Windsor to become the largest mutual fund by combing the bargain basement for quality merchandise and selling as other investors caught on. In John Neff on Investing, he explains how he scoured the daily list of stocks hitting new lows, the "dusty rag and bone shop of the market," to find out-of-favor companies with low price/earnings ratios, those growing faster than seven percent a year, that paid generous dividends. He shows how to distinguish misunderstood and overlooked stocks from those with lackluster prospects. [+]Shunning the terms value investor and contrarian, he tells us he prefers to be known simply as a "low-p/e investor. " "Contrarian investor suggests a stubborn nature," he says, "and there's a thin line between contrarian and being just plain stubborn. " Memory in the stock market is notoriously short. "Remember the lessons of the past as they tend to repeat themselves," Neff says. "You cannot become a captive of historical parallel, but you must be a student of history. " He takes us back to the early '70s, the "silly season" he calls it, "when investors emphasized a handful of glamour stocks at the expense of the market. Hypnotized by rising market levels, investors lost sight of fundamentals. and a dazed and confused public became persuaded that investing is easy. " The toughest investment decision is the decision to sell. "Successful stocks don't tell you when to sell," says Neff. "When you feel like bragging, it's probably time to sell. " He quotes a French proverb: "Buy on the cannons, sell on the trumpets. " John Neff on Investing begins with an insightful autobiographical sketch, but the marrow of this book is the journey through Neff's investment diary while managing Windsor. He takes us through three turbulent decades and dissects in detail his investment successes and failures. Relying on relentless application of his low-p/e strategy, abetted by attention to fundamentals and a liberal dose of common sense, he repeatedly rode stocks from under- to fair valuation, most often leaving the overvaluation thrill ride to braver souls. Neff explains his concept of Measured Participation, a sort of asset-allocation strategy for low-p/e investing, and he shows that while difficult in today's high valuation market, constructing a portfolio guided by his methodology is still possible. Anyone with an interest in investing will enjoy learning at the feet of this master. -Scott Harrison.

Review The Six-day Financial Makeover: Transform Your Financial Life in Less Than a Week, Library Edition / Blackstone Audiobooks:This isn’t your father’s personal finance book. The way we currently save and invest is confusing, frustrating, and quite simply doesn’t work. Get ready for a personal finance book that is actually unique. Get ready for financial strategies that you’ve never seen or heard before. Get ready to transform your financial life in less than a week! Robert Pagliarini has taken budgeting, investing, insurance, and retirement planning—subjects that most of us find stressful and overwhelmingly complex—and made it approachable and even manageable through his unsinkable optimism and relentless simplification process. He says, “We’re going to take the pie-in-the-sky theories and turn them into bite-size pieces that you can and will be able to implement in your life immediately. ” THE SIX DAY FINANCIAL MAKEOVER does a lot of things really well, but I’ll just tell you about three. First and foremost it actually provides advice—yes, real advice. Not wishy-washy “maybe you should do this” or “it all depends on your situation” nonsense (what Robert calls “financial fog”). Second, it has an action bias. [+] No, not really a bias, more like a mantra. Implement, implement, implement is the theme in every chapter and on every page (there’s even a patent-pending free web site at www. sixdayfinancialmakeover. com readers can use to help them take the advice they read and incorporate it into their lives). Three, it is full of brand-new, never seen before financial shortcuts and strategies such as: Why your seven year old is a better investor than you are. Kids intuitively understand how to save and invest better than most adults. The trick is focus and creating separate physical accounts for the myriad goals we have. There is no “right” way to invest. What’s crucial is that people determine their investment personality – particularly how involved they want to be with investing – and let that be their guide. Disregarding one’s investment personality and pursuing an approach that’s not compatible with it is a recipe for disaster. Why you shouldn’t work for a paycheck. Most of us work to earn a paycheck, right? Well that’s the wrong way to think about work. Once we can align our life’s vision and deepest goals to our income, we start to see our purpose for waking up each morning entirely differently. Work is no longer work—it becomes a catalyst that helps us achieve our goals. The most important thing you should save for (and it’s not retirement!). What’s more important and more satisfying than retirement? Financial independence. Discover how many days your passive income could support your lifestyle (if your score is less than 31, don’t quit your day job). The more information and choices you have, the worse your finances will be. There are more financial books, magazines, journals, newspapers, radio shows, TV shows, web sites, Podcasts, and free information available today, yet most of us still feel completely overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated than before. The solution is to cut through the fluff and focus on what really works. Budgets don’t work. Instead, Robert offers a ten step process for taking control of one’s cash flow. While there is careful assessment and prioritization involved, budgets are nowhere in sight. If it’s not possible to save for a child’s education and for retirement, save for retirement first. While retirement may be farther off in the future, if people don’t save today, they’ll have no options tomorrow – whereas college students have financial aid, scholarships, and student loans at their disposal. And a whole lot more… Offering clear, practical, no-nonsense advice along with all the tools needed to implement it, THE SIX-DAY FINANCIAL MAKEOVER is a comprehensive guide that delivers on Robert’s promise to revolutionize the way you think about and invest your money.

Review A Sense of Urgency / Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed:True urgency is a gut-level determination to move and win, now. It’s practitioners are unusually alert. They come to work each day determined to achieve something important, and they shed irrelevant activities to move faster and smarter. Those with a sense of urgency are the opposite of complacent—but they are not stressed-out and anxious, generating great activity without much productivity. Instead, they move boldly toward the future—sharply on the lookout for the hazards and the opportunities that change brings. Bestselling author and business guru John Kotter knows about urgency. “Raising urgency” is the first step in his enormously successful eight-step framework, first articulated in Leading Change. But as Kotter illustrates, increasing urgency is the toughest of the eight steps, and the one without which even the most brilliant, high-powered initiatives will sputter and die. More importantly, as we transition to a world where change is continuous—not just episodic—he shows how urgency must become a core, sustained capability. With vivid and powerful stories, Kotter reveals a distinctive view of the kind of urgency needed in every organization. [+]He also highlights the insidious nature of its nemesis, complacency, in all its guises. He explains the crucial difference between constructive true urgency, and the frantic wheelspinning that is so often mistaken for urgency. He provides key tactics for increasing urgency, as well as exposing and rooting out complacency, with chapters on: •Bringing the outside in•Behaving with urgency every day•Finding opportunity in crises•Dealing with “NoNos” or naysayersA Sense of Urgency is a powerful tool for anyone wanting to win in a turbulent world that will only continue to move faster.

Review Fast Company: A Memoir of Life, Love, and Motorcycles in Italy / Blackstone Audio Inc.:David Gross is working as a corporate lawyer in New York when he gets a call from a friend inviting him to move to Bologna to help turn around a legendary Italian motorcycle company, known for its dominance on the track and its inability to turn a profit. Off he heads to the fabled home of marbled meats, radical leftist politics, and bespoke shoes, diving into his new life as the "corporate image consultant" to gearheads while learning to navigate the giddy mores of Bolognese society. There he sparks the business's "spectacularization" with sexy ad campaigns starring factory workers who, when not on strike, strut to the espresso machine clad in Versace. But above all, he is seduced by speed and the discovery that becoming a better motorcycle rider means tapping into dormant parts of his self that were just waiting to be unleashed.
