The bottom line on Mr. Mauldin is that over the past few years following the advice contained in his weekly emails has made me a lot of money, even more important I have avoided large losses. Reading his weekly essay is a highlight of my week. Naturally the question comes up: why should I buy the book when I can get the data for free. Well, first is simple fairness: he deserves some pay back for dispensing so much wisdom for free every week. But hey, whose going to buy a book because the author deserves the money? Well, there are several good reasons. First the list of other free sources of investment/economic analysis available on the internet is worth the price of the book by itself. Second, there are several important chapters that have not been made available in his emails, and lastly the book organizes the data in a way that arms the individual investor with a broad intellectual base in which to put in context the daily stream of market data. Buy this book, and put in the time to fully understand it, and the reward will be many times the price of the book. |

This book should be subtitled "Economics 101 for Investors". John lays out a historical perspective usually not found in personal investment tomes. Usually, most authors promote some magical formula for getting wealth based on a formula that works until we move from secular bull to secular bear or vice versa. This book teaches a lot about market cycles and cycles within cycles. I wish I would have has this book about 30 years ago. John also has an informative free weekly email newsletter that is a real education. |

At a time when raw intellect, vision, and straightforward thinking are in very short supply in the American financial establishment, John Mauldin represents an intellectual force to reckon with, admire, and respect. His astuteness, real understanding of issues, honesty, clarity of thought, and foresight can be matched by only a handful of contemporary American financial thinkers/writers. His latest book "Bull's Eye Investing" is a "must read" not only by the `laymen" but also by us, the "pros" so we can be reminded of the lessons we once had learned, but some of us have chosen to have forgotten. Thank you John, for reminding us what investing should be all about. |

Bulls Eye Investing is an extremely important book. It is macro-factual analysis that joins the zenith of economic scholarship. Mr. Mauldin does financial meta-analysis at a level that breaks ground from a philosophy of markets perspective. The graphs, tables, data, research, and yes, the thinking are as clear as any business bottom line-- direct and unmistakably to the point. The writing is easy to understand and the reader stands in awe of how John Mauldin makes clear the endless, tortuous mumbo-jumbo of the market and the oceans of unfathomable data one has to confront when trying to make any sense out of investing at all. More important is what the reader may infer about his own stock market prospects (going forward!) armed thanks to Mauldin, with a withering tour de force of the facts.
All in all, this work and its writing is brilliant, and revolutionary. I am extremely grateful to its author and will go so far as to extol its virtue to the gods. By reading this book, middle class boomers like me will be able to save thousands of hours of agony, useless study, pain and money. My heart valves thank the author--from the bottom up.
Before listening to another word from a broker or believing in any of Wall Street's Smoke and Mirror malarkey, read this book.
Otherwise caveat emptor might take on even more ruinous meaning for you in the future than it may already have done when the tech bubble blew up in 2000. This is a must read and study for anybody in the market. Especially for the buy and hold believer. It will rock you to the core. |

This book lays out in clear and complete terms what the likely future path of the economy and stock markets and the logic behind coming to his conclusion. The breadth of discussion topics as well as cognent flow is impressive. It is simply the most comprehensive projection I believe I have seen.
But what I like the best about John Mauldin's writing is his balanced approach - he is neither a stock shill nor a gold bug -but one who allows the facts and logical arguments to dictate his conclusions. |

Rarely does a book on the topic of investing and the economy qualify as "can't put it down" material, but this one does - I finished it in a short weekend.
Immensely readable, the book provides a framework for understanding an investment world that seems no longer to play by the rules. So many books of this kind come across as alarmist or naive, but Bull's Eye Investing is rational, methodical and comprehensive in its' analysis of everything from underfunded pensions to global demographic trends.
The book left me with a 'bearishly optimistic' outlook for the next decade. Mauldin makes a compelling case for caution as a small investor, but also identifies strategies and analytical approaches that provide the reader with a path forward even in what he calls the "Muddle Through Economy."
In the end, Mauldin's concise recipe for moving forward as an investor is nothing less than gourmet fare. |
