    | Book description |

 

Today's best investment minds offer their proven investment advice.

With all the "noise" in today's financial markets, it's hard to know what things are truly critical to successful investing. That's why John Mauldin asked some of the best minds in the investment business to write about the "one thing" they had learned over their many years that they want their kids to know about investing and making money. The result is a fountain of individual financial wisdom that collectively makes up one of the most powerful compilations2 published in many years. Rather than being research-orientated and technical in nature, the "one thing" discussed by each seasoned and very successful investment professional is based specifically on the knowledge they have accumulated over the years.

Each expert's experiences and advice are carefully distilled3 into separate, easy-to-grasp, brilliantly written essays-so that investors of all levels can understand and implement4 the strategies revealed. Besides discussing a single investment principle, each contributor also shares their experiences in the markets, so that readers can learn how to take advantage of profitable opportunities as well as avoid costly5 pitfalls6.

Book review

Twelve excellent investment minds supply a fountain of accumulated knowledge and wisdom in Just One Thing. The chapter on the dangers of past performance gives an appropriately strong reminder7 that blind acceptance of past performanc can result in false due diligence decisions. Fittingly, No one gets at the Real Truth in Investing like Mark T. Finn. Investment insiders know that Mark Finn can find the Pathway to Investment Truth at any level of Uncertainty8. He is that Gifted! In addition, Mark's Intellectual Integrity is World Class!

As Uncertainty in Investing Grows Exponentially, through investment vehicles such as Hedge Funds, Emerging Managers and Start-Ups, Mark's Depth of Intellect into past performance and likey future performance stays ahead of Real Risk. Mark knows more about Investment Managers than they know about themselves. Simply the Absolute Best.
