Why you should read Surviving the Storm

This stimulating, comprehensive guide to wealth management could hardly be better timed. Published only a few months before what has been widely described as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, it offers readers a thorough, detailed guide to preparing for a long economic winter. Author James O. Lunney (writing with Larry Chambers) explores the influence of demography on growth – in the case of the United States, a rather dire influence – and offers readers a process-oriented approach to the management of wealth. He backs up his instructions that you should pursue good investing information by providing resource listings, including Web sites. Much of the book remains timely and forward-looking, even if some predictions have already begun to manifest. getAbstract does caution that those who read it might wish they had done so sooner.
