From the Foreword

"Truly valuable investment advice doesn't just direct you to buy a particular stock but helps you to think about investment opportunities within sectors-specifically, in the industries that are poised for growth over the next years and decades. Bob's solid guidance helps you target long-term opportunities."
Suze Orman, Author of The Road to Wealth and #1 New York Times Bestsellers, The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and The Courage to Be Rich

The five themes driving and shaping the market in the millennium, from one of Wall Street's most respected investors.

In Where the Money Is, Bob Froehlich, one of the financial community's most trusted advisors, gives readers a rare insider's view of the strategies that financial markets and industries are developing to capitalize on the new terrain. Peering over the economic horizon for clues to next year and beyond, Froehlich pinpoints the five most relevant investment themes that will drive and shape the continuing bull market-as they are shaping society-into the new millennium. Focusing on such key issues as the aging baby boomer population, the continued growth of a technology that provides greater access and connectivity to the world, and the rise of the global marketplace, Froehlich shows investors how to spot these larger trends within the financial markets and the economy and to build an appropriate investment strategy to capitalize on them for rich rewards. Froehlich shows readers where the money is and where it can be found in the future.

In this thoughtful and far reaching review he argues persuasively that a myriad of important investment opportunities will flow from the aging of the population, global restructuring and privatization, and, yes, even from the continuing information technology revolution. A must read for anyone who's been in the market in the past few years."--Peter J. Canelo, Morgan Stanley

"...the error-prone strategists make the mistake of believing that the future will unfold just like the past. There are others, however, who have eyes to see the dust in the distance, ears to hear the hoof beats of the thundering herd, and noses to smell the money to be made. One of those is Bob Froehlich."-- The Chicago Tribune

From the Inside Flap:
Markets go up; markets go down. Yet over the long haul, stocks still are better investments than bonds. If you're investing for retirement, your children's education, or simply for personal gain, the challenge is to become a long-term investor amid short-term market fluctuations. And the key to lasting success is identifying future trends today to maximize tomorrow's investment returns.

Dr. Bob Froehlich, Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Strategist of Scudder Investments and one of the most trusted advisors in the financial community, shares his vast knowledge of the global economic landscape to provide you with a practical guide to finding tomorrow's financial opportunities today. According to Froehlich, spotting broad economic themes allows you to identify sectors that are poised for growth in the next decade and beyond. In Where the Money Is, he identifies five dominant global trends that will shape the long-term direction of the financial markets:

  • Demographic trends around the world
  • The globalization of economies and markets
  • The technology revolution and higher productivity
  • The worldwide shift toward government downsizing and privatization
  • Mergers and acquisitions and their effects on the size, shape, and form of companies

By identifying themes that will drive the market and the specific industries likely to benefit as well as providing tools such as Sectornomics, a strategy of investing in sectors rather than individual companies, Where the Money Is gives investors every chance to conquer the uneven investment terrain. Froehlich gives you the vision to see what tomorrow will bring so that you can find where the money is today and where it will be in the future.>/p>
