Synopsis

The past ten years have been good to investors. The combination of safe bluechip stocks and more volatile growth stocks has doubled the money of well-positioned investors in five years or less. Yet some experts say that the stock boom is nearly over, that the fabulous profits of the 1980s were a fluke caused by a one-time decline in inflation and interest rates. Michael Sivy couldn't disagree more: He sees another stock market boom ahead and tells you how small investors can do as well as the pros in the coming decade. In clear, simple language, Money magazine's chief investment strategist reveals how an expanding world economy creates exceptional conditions - and extraordinary opportunities. Which fields will prosper? Which will fail? Which new products and services are likely to turn the economy upside down? With his analysis of the facts and his street-smart rules of investing, Michael Sivy will show you how to use the trends to your advantage and select the best stocks for you.

About this title

From Library Journal:

In the belief that "few people know the basic principles for building a portfolio and picking safe, undervalued stocks," Money magazine's Wall Street editor here intends to advise and instruct them. Sivy repeats the current canon of investing: diversification, self-analysis for risk tolerance, asset allocation, etc. While recommending that the small investor lean toward growth stocks, he also explains value investing (investing in out-of-favor stocks) and income investing. The latter includes bonds, which Sivy appears to include in all model portfolios. To give a feel for what makes a promising growth stock, he analyzes 37 blue chip stocks and 26 income stocks individually. He offers limited information on gold, real estate, and options. Sivy does a serviceable job of instructing the beginning investor in the basics, but, in general, this is a bland compilation with nothing especially timely. An optional purchase.?Alexander Wenner, Indiana Univ. Lib., Bloomington
