Features: One of the Top 10 Business Books of the Year. One of the 10 Greatest Investment Books of All Time, the Bible of the Buy-and-Hold Strategy. This book should take center stage on the desk of every amateur investor and beginner. It is the most comprehensive summary of the history of the U.S. stock market. It is an indispensable resource for anyone serious about studying the market. This is a well-organized, compelling book that lifts the veil of mystery from investing. When historians record the financial history of the 1990s, the publication of Stocks: The Long-Run Investment Record was regarded as an enlightenment event. In this groundbreaking work, Professor Jeremy J. Siegel of the Wharton School has discussed market conditions since 1802, providing the most comprehensive, powerful, and irrefutable evidence to date of the safety, stability, and necessity of the stock market in long-term investing—and has made a significant contribution to this massive wealth creation. Now, the intellectual father of the record bull market has brought us the second edition of Stocks: The Long-Run Investment Record. Siegel’s conclusion—considering long-term purchasing power, stocks are actually safer than bank deposits!—is now even more compelling. He has also added new research findings and information, including:
1. A comprehensive analysis of the Dow 10 Rules and other dividend strategies that have dominated the investment world over the past decade.
2. How the baby boom generation will permanently change the stock market—this knowledge can improve the performance of your own investment portfolio.
3. The surprising effect of the calendar on stock market performance—investing at specific times of the year can enhance returns.
4. Analysis and performance comparisons of notable market sectors, such as small-cap stocks, growth stocks, and the "glamorous middle-aged."
5. How Wall Street professionals use investor sentiment and government policies to successfully determine the best times to buy stocks.
Stocks: The Long-Run Investment Record guides you in building a high-return, low-risk portfolio of domestic and international stocks. Through valuable new insights, in-depth research, and a clear, engaging writing style, Siegel practically points investors of all ages and income levels toward a historically proven path to wealth—the stock market!
