The key to successful investing today is knowing where the markets and economy are going, not where they have been, and focusing on absolute returns - real profits in your pocket. You, the contemporary investor, instinctively know that the markets of today - and the forces that drive them - are quite different than those of past decades. Your intuition tells you that if you are to be successful in the future, you must adjust your investment strategy to reflect the new economic realities. But what strategies? What adjustments? Where can you turn for reality-based answers?
In the positive and forward-thinking Bull's Eye Investing: Targeting Real Returns in a Smoke and Mirrors Market, financial expert John Mauldin makes a powerful case regarding the future direction of the markets and what you must do to be successful in them. Mauldin lays a solid foundation for his argument by examining six major (and very different) ways to look at the stock market as well as the numerous ways Wall Street tries to entice unknowing investors to keep buying overvalued products. Marshalling a huge array of facts and sources, Mauldin looks at these and other issues, including the effects of value, risk, market psychology, and demographics on your potential investments. He details a new approach to investing that will allow you to successfully adjust to the new reality of investing.
In a straightforward and easy-to-understand style, Mauldin helps you understand why traditional stock portfolios shouldn't be your primary investment vehicle in the coming years, and how absolute return vehicles, such as hedge funds (Chapters 20-22), specific types of bonds, and certain types of value-oriented stocks (Chapters 16-18), and investments can help you control risk, while carefully and methodically growing your investments over the next decade.
Helping you think outside of the Wall Street box, Bull's Eye Investing focuses on finding value and controlling risk, while working with trends (which Mauldin forecasts for you) rather than against them. It will show you why investors must focus on absolute returns instead of relative returns, as well as how research and homework will be rewarded - rather than blind trust in an ever-spiraling market.
Good markets are followed by bad markets, which are again followed by good markets. While no one can predict exactly when these markets will begin or end, there's a pretty good chance that this cycle will continue to repeat itself. As an investor, success hinges on your understanding of these ever-changing economic and investment cycles - and your response to them. Bull's Eye Investing can help you make the most of these trends, by showing you how to target your investments toward where the markets will be, not where they have been.

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. |
