John Mauldin
Bull's Eye Investing
Targeting Real Returns in a Smoke and Mirrors Market
Wiley, 2004
What's inside?
Even when the stock market offers only ill tidings, the value investor can still get healthy returns.
Recommendation
This is a very good book about investing and market behavior. Readers should be forewarned that author John Mauldin may have some bias in that he is an advisor and money manager with a big commodities practice. Nevertheless, pay close attention to his evidence and the case he expounds here. Mauldin marshals numerous studies to indicate that a secular extended bear market is upon us and that it may be a long, long time before stock markets recover strength and surpass their present levels in inflation-adjusted terms. He suggests that a further drop of as much as 50% may be in the cards and, in case you aren't already scared, he supports his contention with solid evidence. Mauldin offers you a number of plausible alternatives for managing your money. getAbstract.com finds that one of his book's great merits is that it calls attention to a potentially dark scenario that most investment coverage ignores.
