How to Own the World: A Plain English Guide to Thinking Globally and Investing Wisely


Andrew Craig - 2015
    How to Own the World explains why you can and must learn about investment, and highlights the significant advantages you have over many finance professionals. The knowledge needed to grow your money isn’t complicated, just very poorly distributed throughout the population. Successful investment can turn hundreds into millions over time thanks to the power of compound interest, something Einstein described as “The Eighth Wonder of the World”. There has never been a greater need for you to take charge of your financial affairs. Fortunately the tools available have never been more powerful or inexpensive. How to Own the World explains why this is and what you can do to make the most of your money.

Dollars Flow To Me Easily


Richard Dotts - 2015
     Richard explains that these spiritual principles have never been about “attracting” more money or stuff into our lives. Instead, these Universal truths all speak of recognizing the inherent abundance that is already there for our taking. Is it any wonder that traditional Law of Attraction techniques which focus on “doing” and “attracting” something from out there to fill a perceived lack in our lives do not create lasting results? But if all our abundance is already right here for our taking, why is it that our bank balance and physical experiences do not always reflect this truth? Is there something we have to do in order to welcome this abundance into our lives? Dollars Flow To Me Easily takes an alternative approach to answering these questions. Instead of guiding the reader through a series of exercises to “feel as if” they are already rich, Richard draws on the power of words and our highest intentions to dissolve negative feelings and misconceptions that block us from manifesting greater financial abundance in our lives. When these blocks are gently dissolved and let go of through absorbing the words in this book, what results are natural physical manifestations of abundance in our everyday experience. As Richard puts it, this technique is so counter-intuitive precisely because it flies in the face of everything we have been taught. We have been taught to tackle our financial issues head-on and to worry about them constantly in order to come up with solutions. But despite this, all our worrying and mental activity has still not resulted in everlasting peace-of-mind and a permanent resolution of the financial issues in our lives. Perhaps the real solution that we need is to simply correct our thinking on the inside, and to realize that there has been no issue and no lack in the first place. When we tend to our inner states and make it our priority… when we finally give up the need to do anything to make things happen… that is when the Universe can deliver our highest good to us. Dollars Flow To Me Easily takes you through the experiential journey of dropping all your worries, fears and blocks around manifesting money as you read. What remains at the end is the real you — a state in which dollars flow to you easily and a recognition of this truth that has always been a part of your being.

When Money Destroys Nations: How Hyperinflation Ruined Zimbabwe, How Ordinary People Survived, and Warnings for Nations that Print Money


Philip Haslam - 2015

Efficiently Inefficient: How Smart Money Invests and Market Prices Are Determined


Lasse Heje Pedersen - 2015
    Leading financial economist Lasse Heje Pedersen combines the latest research with real-world examples and interviews with top hedge fund managers to show how certain trading strategies make money--and why they sometimes don't.Pedersen views markets as neither perfectly efficient nor completely inefficient. Rather, they are inefficient enough that money managers can be compensated for their costs through the profits of their trading strategies and efficient enough that the profits after costs do not encourage additional active investing. Understanding how to trade in this efficiently inefficient market provides a new, engaging way to learn finance. Pedersen analyzes how the market price of stocks and bonds can differ from the model price, leading to new perspectives on the relationship between trading results and finance theory. He explores several different areas in depth--fundamental tools for investment management, equity strategies, macro strategies, and arbitrage strategies--and he looks at such diverse topics as portfolio choice, risk management, equity valuation, and yield curve logic. The book's strategies are illuminated further by interviews with leading hedge fund managers: Lee Ainslie, Cliff Asness, Jim Chanos, Ken Griffin, David Harding, John Paulson, Myron Scholes, and George Soros.Efficiently Inefficient effectively demonstrates how financial markets really work.Free problem sets are available online at http: //www.lhpedersen.com

Entrusted: Building A Legacy That Lasts


Andrew L. Howell - 2015
    Although the two are not the same, most estate planners today do not even broach this concept with their clients or include the less-tangible aspects of wealth as they draft an estate plan. They simply develop an estate plan that prepares the family’s financial assets to be dumped, divided, deferred, and dissipated among the members of the next generation. These estate plans typically reflect a very linear way of thinking. In other words, if transferring some amount of financial wealth is good, then transferring more financial wealth is better. Not only is this approach is myopic and simplistic, but it’s ultimately destructive because it focuses on the fire (the result) and not on the flint and kindling (the tools and resources that produce the result).Entrusted lays out the foundations of Entrusted Planning process, which aligns the principles and values of a family with their tangible assets and prepares future generations to build a true and lasting legacy. It’s a process that draws from the very origins of estate law, which placed the highest value on who was involved—on who was entrusted. Entrusted Planning goes back to preparing beneficiaries for wealth beyond just the legal concept of a trust and takes into account the relational maturation of the person or persons being entrusted as stewards of resources, not just consumers and users of it.  Entrusted Planning is about transferring opportunities instead of just assets and doing so over multiple generations. By focusing on the means to an end (education, personal character, home ownership, entrepreneurship, charitable service) as opposed to the end (stocks, bonds, real estate, and businesses), Entrusted Planning has the greatest potential to do the maximum amount of multigenerational good with the least amount of collateral damage. Entrusted families have goals that are both deep and broad. They’re less interested in preparing their families to be rich and more interested in preparing them to manage, sustain, and carry on a rich legacy. Entrusted outlines seven core disciplines that can be found across a multitude of successful high-net-worth families going back hundreds of years. These are not hypothetical or idealistic disciplines. These disciplines are real and permeate through the families who have embraced these concepts. Discipline 1. Entrusted families know who they are and what they believe.Discipline 2. Entrusted families prepare the family for the wealth and not just the wealth for the family.Discipline 3. Entrusted families maximize the positive benefits of wealth and minimize the negative effects.Discipline 4. Entrusted families focus on flint and kindling and not on the fire.Discipline 5. Entrusted families are generous.Discipline 6. Entrusted families preserve and protect wealth.Discipline 7. Entrusted families design and implement dynamic governance.

A Wealth of Common Sense: Why Simplicity Trumps Complexity in Any Investment Plan (Bloomberg)


Ben Carlson - 2015
    The financial market is a complex system, but that doesn't mean it requires a complex strategy; in fact, this false premise is the driving force behind many investors' market "mistakes." Information is important, but understanding and perspective are the keys to better decision-making. This book describes the proper way to view the markets and your portfolio, and show you the simple strategies that make investing more profitable, less confusing, and less time-consuming. Without the burden of short-term performance benchmarks, individual investors have the advantage of focusing on the long view, and the freedom to construct the kind of portfolio that will serve their investment goals best. This book proves how complex strategies essentially waste these advantages, and provides an alternative game plan for those ready to simplify. Complexity is often used as a mechanism for talking investors into unnecessary purchases, when all most need is a deeper understanding of conventional options. This book explains which issues you actually should pay attention to, and which ones are simply used for an illusion of intelligence and control. Keep up with—or beat—professional money managers Exploit stock market volatility to your utmost advantage Learn where advisors and consultants fit into smart strategy Build a portfolio that makes sense for your particular situation You don't have to outsmart the market if you can simply outperform it. Cut through the confusion and noise and focus on what actually matters. A Wealth of Common Sense clears the air, and gives you the insight you need to become a smarter, more successful investor.

Beating the College Debt Trap: Getting a Degree without Going Broke


Alex Chediak - 2015
    The radically counter-cultural truth is that students don’t have to be totally dependent on Mom, Dad, or Uncle Sam to get the most out of college. Graduation on a solid financial foundation is possible. But it will require intentionality, creativity, hard work, and a willingness to delay gratification.Chediak gets into the nitty-gritty of how to pay less for college, get meaningful workduring college (while setting yourself up for success after college), , pay off any loans quickly, spend less, save more, and stay out of debt for good. He also unpacks how to transition from college into career, honor God while achieving financial independence, and use your finances to make a positive, eternally-significant difference in the lives of others.As a young engineering professor with an aptitude for finances and money management, Chediak has become particularly concerned with the financial health of students, especially in light of the ever increasing costs of college. In Beating the College Debt Trap he helps do something about this problem. He engages, in a friendly manner, the “real world” financial issues that 17-25 year olds face, with clarity, practical help, lots of illustrations, and a little humor, while conveying a distinctly Christian perspective.

Between Debt and the Devil: Money, Credit, and Fixing Global Finance


Adair Turner - 2015
    In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn't happen because banks are too big to fail--our addiction to private debt is to blame."Between Debt and the Devil" challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low. In fact, most credit is not needed for economic growth--but it drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. Turner explains why public policy needs to manage the growth and allocation of credit creation, and why debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution. Banks need far more capital, real estate lending must be restricted, and we need to tackle inequality and mitigate the relentless rise of real estate prices. Turner also debunks the big myth about fiat money--the erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. To escape the mess created by past policy errors, we sometimes need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money."Between Debt and the Devil" shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance.

The Great Chasm: How to Stop Our Wealth from Separating Us from the Poor and God


Derek W. Engdahl - 2015
    Engdahl’s book asks us to think deeply about how affluence separates us from the teachings of Jesus, creating an unbridgeable “great chasm” that divides us, our neighbors, and the poor. Engdahl invites us to walk with him through two chapters of the Gospel of Luke which speak profoundly about our need to be in restored relationships with our poor brothers and sisters, and so be freed from wealth's deadening grasp upon our lives. In Luke 15 and 16, we meet a prodigal son, a shrewd manager, a rich man, and a poor beggar named Lazarus; and in these pages, we also encounter ourselves. Engdahl's experience of journeying with the poor over the past seventeen years provides him with a host of stories that illustrate this is not just an intellectual or theological exercise. How we relate to the poor and how we choose to use our wealth are fundamental discipleship questions for any who would follow Jesus-through the narrow gate-into abundant life.

The Babylonian Woe


David Astle - 2015
    It is also outstandingly clear that it was parent to that acknowledged and most obvious conspiracy such as exists today. Hence was able to develop that conspiracy against mankind most exemplified by a continuous propaganda of hate against all authority: in pre-antiquity and antiquity against the many city gods, and in relatively modern times against the kings that rose out of the ruins of that which had been Rome. As those controlling totally the economic life of a state through monetary creation and emission, must have felt that kings and gods were more of a nuisance than anything else, the instigators of this conspiracy in whatever place and era, obviously were those who first did the business of bankers; the controllers of values, and consequently the economic life of the states wherever the precious metal standard was used.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the original essays collected here explore selling and buying practices of nonwhite populations around the world and the barriers that shape these habits, such as racial discrimination, food deserts, and gentrification. The contributors highlight more contemporary issues by raising questions about how race informs business owners’ ideas about consumer demand, resulting in substandard quality and higher prices for minorities than in predominantly white neighborhoods.  In a wide-ranging exploration of the subject, they also address revitalization and gentrification in South Korean and Latino neighborhoods in California, Arab and Turkish coffeehouses and hookah lounges in South Paterson, New Jersey, and tourist capoeira consumption in Brazil.   Race and Retail illuminates the complex play of forces at work in racialized retail markets and the everyday impact of those forces on minority consumers. The essays demonstrate how past practice remains in force in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

Meredith A. Jones - 2015
    And research shows it pays to invest with or like a woman.Study after study shows that women invest differently than men. From less overconfidence, overtrading, and testosterone to a greater tolerance for market noise and more consistent application of investment strategy, there are a number reasons why women approach investing in a unique way. Women create both cognitive and behavioral "alpha" with their investment style which contributes over the long-run to outsized investment returns. Women of The Street looks at behavioral and biological investment research to explore how women think about investing, and to determine why women may have a money management edge. The book then identifies and interviews 11 top female 'market wizards' in hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and other asset classes to see how women's innate investing characteristics translate in different strategies and markets into significant profits. The conversations provide market wisdom that can enhance your portfolio, regardless of your gender. It also provides interesting "insider information" on the financial industry.

The Cynic's Guide to Investing: In the era of 'Too Big to Fail' it pays to be a cynic


Alex Karidis - 2015
    However, it is not only the Millennials affected by poor policy decisions. Old and young alike, even those who are yet to exist, will have to deal with the consequences to some degree—thereby exposing investment opportunities in disguise. Interested in assisting others on how to navigate through such economic difficulties, Alex and Bradley wrote The Cynic’s Guide to Investing. A hybrid analysis of economic policy, trends and demographics, and investment strategies, The Cynic’s Guide to Investing is a must-read from the novice, to the most experienced policy wonk, to the skilled investor and everyone in between. Written in a concise manner, The Cynic’s Guide to Investing covers a vast array of topics from fiscal and monetary policy, to healthcare, energy markets, lobbying efforts, and of course investment strategies and much more. It will be highly evident from early on that with money comes power and with power comes the ability to influence markets (think big government-big business). This power structure has invoked passionate dissent from both the right and the left (think Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street). The Cynic’s Guide to Investing cuts through the divide-and-conquer tactics revealing more common ground than what the media would have you believe. Written in a no-nonsense manner, Alex and Bradley change the perception of cynicism from having pessimistic connotations to one attributed with keen observation. The cynic simply makes observations and has the audacity to tell it like it is. The goal of The Cynic’s Guide to Investing is to make observations, conduct thorough analysis, and take action in order to build wealth and provide for your future self. “…that power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it…” —George Bernard Shaw

This book is devoted to explaining the underutilized concept of investing self-directed IRAs into alternative assets.

Eleven different investment options such as real estate, precious metals, notes, private equity, tax liens and beyond are covered in this innovative book. You will learn the important rules and regulations you need to know, financing options, due diligence and risk assessment and real life examples of investors who have decided to take control of their financial future and self-direct their way to lasting wealth. We’ll also share over 30 case studies of real client investments and will shine a light on the unheralded impact self-directed IRA investors have made on their communities, small businesses, the housing recovery and of course, their own financial future. As an added bonus there are over 40 educational videos, reports, calculators and other resources that coincide with the book!

Blue Exodus: Why Americans Are Moving to Red States


Arthur B. Laffer - 2015
    This explains the seismic change in America in terms of where families are choosing to live, where businesses are choosing to locate, and where investors are choosing to invest. America is experiencing the most profound geographical shift in economic and political center of gravity in at least half a century. Why? Because the red (conservative) states are getting redder and the blue (liberal) states are getting bluer. Red states like Texas, Florida, Arizona and Utah are cutting tax rates, slashing regulations, reducing debt, promoting energy development, allowing labor the right to work, while the blue states (New Jersey, New York, California, and Illinois) are doing the opposite. The results are stunning: for every new job in blue states, red states are producing three. Every year a net three million people are voting with their feet and relocating out of blue states into red states. Big companies like Toyota are doing the same. Americans are saying: who needs New Jersey, or New York. The last person left in Rhode Island will have to turn off the lights.

Investment Idea Generation Guide


Jason A. Voss - 2015
    After all, if you want to earn higher investment returns than your peers, you must do what they (and you) are not doing already. But how do you do this? If you are having difficulty identifying new investment ideas, it’s not because the world got smaller and less complex; it is likely because how you look at the world has become less flexible, more ritualized, and less creative. So, the Investment Idea Generation Guide provides practical tools for investment professionals to activate and improve their creativity, because doing what no one else is doing is creativity. Creativity = alpha.Every topic in the CFA® Program curriculum assumes that you already have an investment idea that you then subject to the classic tools of financial analysis. But what about the initial idea itself? Where does that come from? Our new Investment Idea Generation Guide can help redress this oversight.Here is what early reviewers of the Investment Idea Generation Guide said:“I found the Investment Idea Generation Guide very thought provoking and interesting, and I think it covers many of the points that new analysts will spend many years trying to learn; it is a great read!” — Douglas R. Barton, CFA, Associate Director, Royal Bank of Scotland“The Investment Idea Generation Guide is very different from most books on investing. I don’t believe that I have ever read a book that covers the material that it covers.” — Nick Fafoglia, CFA, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager, Commerce Trust Company“I found the Investment Idea Generation Guide stimulated my thinking in new directions. I believe it presents a very worthwhile addition to a working analyst’s bookshelf.” — David G. Sparks, CFA, President, Heartwood Investments“One of the most frequent questions we get is, How do you come up with investment ideas? The Investment Idea Generation Guide gives the audience a concrete platform to start generating creative investment ideas no matter which industry or sector he/she covers.” — David J. Shen, CFAThe guide has four very practical sections, beginning with the most creative, least structured tool and progressing to the least creative, most structured tool.•Section One: How to increase your creativity — tools include creating a knowledge map, mind mapping, evaluating mental models, radical context breaks, and general creativity tips.•Section Two: A tool for thinking about possible futures — scenario planning. Scenario planning has a 60-year history of helping global corporations better anticipate and plan for the future. Here, the tool is taught to and adapted for investors.•Section Three: Investment idea generation matrix. Different investment philosophies and styles are mapped on two dimensions: macro–micro and quantitative–qualitative. Investors can then branch out by exploring philosophies tangential to their own or radically different.•Section Four: Resources. An extensive bibliography provides resources mapped to Section Three’s matrix.We hope that the Investment Idea Generation Guide starts a new branch of study in finance.CFA Institute members may access their free Kindle-compatible .
