Allrich, Ted The On-Line Investor: How to Find the Best Stocks Using Your Computer
St Martin's Pr 1995 0312135769 / 9780312135768 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. No remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. 226 pages. In The On-Line Investor, Ted Allrich shows computer owners and prospective investors how to maximize the earning power of the desktop. Allrich's focus is on small-capitalization stocks - growth companies that have limited shares of available stock. Historically the most profitable group of stocks, small-caps are often ignored by Wall Street managers but are perfect for the individual investor. As Allrich observes, individual investors were at a distinct disadvantage until recently, but the advent of on-line stock information from Prodigy, America Online, CompuServe, and other sources has leveled the playing field. Now a savvy investor can tap into data formerly reserved for professionals only.

Applegarth, Ginger; Whitaker, Leslie Wake Up and Smell the Money: Fresh Starts at Any Age-And Any Season of Your Life
New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Pr 1999 0670873977 / 9780670873975 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. Price inside dustcover: $24.95 - Number line: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Dustcover shows mild wear and 2 tiny, closed tears. Book shows 2 small bumps, upper corners. Boards are clean and bright. 366 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - Like the rest of us, you probably think of your morning cappuccino as a pretty good "fresh start" every day. But as Ginger Applegarth shows in Wake Up and Smell the Money, there are even better ways to wake up and put not only your morning but your financial life into caffeine mode. (And did you know that if you saved the cost of that cappuccino say, $3 over 40 years, you'd net nearly $500,000?) In the upbeat and immensely practical style of her bestselling book, The Money Diet, recommended by USA Today as "a sound investment," Wake Up and Smell the Money offers sage, timely, and sometimes unconventional advice for every major turning point in life. For instance, did you know that you should: * put money in a retirement plan, even if you still have cc debt. * do your children a favor by saving for your own retirement even if it means they're paying their own way through college. * not make extra payments to pay off your mortgage early. What Gail Sheehy did for our emotional development, Applegarth, drawing on her years as a financial planner and a media personality, has done for our journey toward wealth. Structured "season" by "season," filled with frank and reassuring talk about real problems, with real life, sometimes humorous client examples and truly idiotproof charts, this is a reference source for a lifetime, one you will open again and again as you pass through every stage and season. Whether you're planning the big picture or focusing on a specific milestone from buying your first house to starting over at 50, Wake Up and Smell the Money puts you in control of your own financial destiny.

Synopsis In the early 18th century, the South Sea Company was incorporated with the purpose of exploiting the wealth of Louisiana and the Caribbean. Investors flocked to the company with the encouragement of English politicians. Unfortunately for the investors, the company never owned a single trip or financed a single journey and the whole scheme eventually imploded. Journalist Balen narrates the story of the company, paying particular attention to the motivations of the various company officers and implicated government officials, which are often remarkably similar to those driving the Enron, Worldcom, and other current financial scandals.

Beaty, Jonathan; Gwynne, S.C. The Outlaw Bank: A Wild Ride into the Secret Heart of Bcci
Random House Inc 1993 0679413847 / 9780679413844 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - One corner is slightly bumped - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - 399 pages - Tight spine - Bright pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - The Outlaw Bank goes straight to the corrupt heart of the most spectacular financial scandal in history: the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. A riveting mix of Dr. No and All the President's Men, The Outlaw Bank tells the story of the collapse of the BCCI in a unique, revealing - and unforgettable - way. Time correspondents Jonathan Beaty and S. C. Gwynne didn't just report on the BCCI story; from the first tip, they became players in a game of journalistic three-dimensional chess - full of murky leads and shady sources who often were not what they seemed. Through their fastpaced, firsthand account, we are there as Beaty and Gwynne arrange back-channel rendezvous; find a way around government stonewalling; and slowly begin to trace the web of kickbacks, corruption, and cover-ups that spanned three U.S. administrations and ensnared politicians and business figures around the world. The Outlaw Bank shows how the BCCI was more than a bank with a portfolio of bad loans and nasty clients like Manuel Noriega and the Medellin cartel. With offices and agents in every corner of the world, the BCCI had become a clearinghouse for almost anything: political bribes, untraceable cash, guns, tanks - even nuclear weapons. Beaty and Gwynne tell the real BCCI story with all of its amazing detail and mysterious characters. They go inside the mind of Agha Hasan Abedi, BCCI's messianic founder, whose vision of a Third World bank became twisted into a financial evil empire that moved effortlessly across national borders. They show how Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau and others mounted a massive inquiry - in the face of opposition from the U.S. Justice Department - that eventually led to the indictment of both the bank and former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford. They reveal how they unraveled the BCCI's labyrinth of connections in Africa, Europe, and the United States, and with the CIA - and how their investigation broke through the Washington

Bernstein, Jake How the Futures Markets Work
New York Institute of Finance 1989 0134072227 / 9780134072227 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with graphs and charts. NO writing, marks or tears inside book - How the Futures Markets Work introduces the uninitiated to the world of futures, explaining in nontechnical language its products, players, mechanisms, procedures, tools, and basic hedging and trading strategies. In How the Futures Markets Work, Jake Bernstein, acknowledged expert on futures worldwide, describes all pertinent aspects of the modern futures exchange: identifying and provide basic information on the 11 U.S. future exchanges and the 23 foreign ones, explaining the purpose of an exchange, detailing their management and organization, and describing both their overall roles in futures trading and the step-by-step specifics of daily operations on the trading floor. He examines the different futures markets, from the traditional ones in agriculture commodities to such newer arenas as foreign currency, interest rate, and stock index futures. Bernstein then responds to the types of practical questions any potential investor in the these markets will pose: How to find and select a broker, including a checklist of precisely what sorts of services the investor should expect. How to open an account, how to place an order, and what the different types of orders are. How to develop a trading strategy. And, he helps investors recognize any signs that they should not enter the futures arena (including such diverse reasons as time constrictions or emotional unsuitability), to determining investment goals or such nitty-gritty questions as whether they will need a computer or want a charting service. It also describes the alternatives to activate trading--for example, investing in commodity funds or subscribing to an advisory hotline. Look for other titles in the popular How Wall Street Works series: How the Bond Market Works How the Foreign Exchange Market Works How the Options Markets Work How the Economy Works How the Stock Market Works How Mutual Funds Work

Brooks, John Once In Golconda: A True Drama Of Wall Street 1920-1938
Harper & Brothers 1969 Hard Cover Very Good + Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Very-good+, clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $6.95. Dark-blue boards with gilt and light-blue lettering (clean - shows light wear). Tight spine, clean pages. Pages show slight tanning. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 308 pages. Product Description Once in Golconda "In this book, John Brooks who was one of the most elegant of all business writers perfectly catches the flavor of one of history’s best-known financial dramas: the 1929 crash and its aftershocks. It’s packed with parallels and parables for the modern reader." From the Foreword by Richard Lambert Editor-in-Chief, The Financial Times Once in Golconda is a dramatic chronicle of the breathtaking rise, devastating fall, and painstaking rebirth of Wall Street in the years between the wars. Focusing on the lives and fortunes of some of the era’s most memorable traders, bankers, boosters, and frauds, John Brooks brings to vivid life all the ruthlessness, greed, and reckless euphoria of the ’20s bull market, the desperation of the days leading up to the crash of ’29, and the bitterness of the years that followed. Praise for Once in Golconda "A fast-moving, sophisticated account embracing the stock-market boom of the twenties, the crash of 1929, the Depression, and the coming of the New Deal. Its leitmotif is the truly tragic personal history of Richard Whitney, the aristocrat Morgan broker and head of the Stock Exchange, who ended up in Sing Sing." Edmund Wilson, writing in the New Yorker "As Mr. Brooks tells this tale of dishonor, desperation, and the fall of the mighty, it takes on overtones of Greek tragedy, a king brought down by pride. Whitney’s sordid history has been told before. But in Mr. Brooks’s hands, the drama becomes freshly shocking." Wall Street Journal "It’s all there in Once in Golconda the avarice of an era that favored the rich; and the later anguish of myriads of speculators doomed by a bloated market, easy credit, and their own cupidity and stupidity." Saturday Review From the Inside Flap Once in Golconda At noon, on September 16, 1920, a horrendous explosion rocked Wall Street, instantly claiming the lives of thirty pedestrians and seriously injuring hundreds more. Yet, for all of its awesome force, that bomb was a firecracker compared to another, much more spectacular one, several years later the great stock market crash of 1929. Once in Golconda is a dramatic chronicle of the breathtaking rise, devastating fall, and painstaking rebirth of Wall Street in the years between the wars. Focusing on the lives and fortunes of some of the era’s most memorable traders, bankers, boosters, and frauds, award-winning author John Brooks brings to vivid life all the ruthlessness, greed, derring-do, and reckless euphoria of the ’20s bull market, the desperation of the days leading up to the crash of ’29, and the bitterness of the years that followed. Writing with authority, verve, and considerable humor, Brooks introduces us to a bygone world in which the likes of Junius Morgan and fellow members of the Yankee "aristocracy" jealously controlled Wall Street as if it were their private hunting preserve. He also offers striking portraits of the generation of rawly ambitious newcomers who rose up to topple the old regime, including Irish Catholic "counter jumpers" such as "Sell ’em" Ben Smith and the mercurial Joseph Kennedy who clawed his way up from being one of the most cunning of shady speculators, to first head of the SEC, to king-maker. At the center of this colorful whirlwind of a tale is the magnificently hubristic Richard Whitney. The story of his rise to the presidency of the New York Stock Exchange and his eventual downfall and imprisonment for stock fraud and embezzlement characterizes the play of monumental forces that transformed Wall Street from WASP Camelot to public institution. Though it was first published in 1969, this riveting tale explores timeless themes of profound significance for today’s investors from the corruption that led to the creation of today’s securities laws to the folly of investor hubris in a bull market.

Buchholz, Todd G. From Here to Economy: A Short Cut to Economic Literacy
New York, New York, U.S.A. E P Dutton 1995 0525939024 / 9780525939023 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. 278 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis What is the GDP, and what does it mean? Why does the stock market go down when interest rates go up? What causes a dreaded recession? Economics impacts everyone's life, but most people take on faith what they read in the newspaper. Now, for anyone who doesn't know much about economics, noted economist Todd Buchholz explains it all simply and clearly. With refreshing wit and irreverence, Buchholz takes readers by the hand and reveals the basic rules behind everything from food prices to trade deficits. Instead of complicated graphs and charts he uses examples from contemporary life and popular culture to demonstrate the principles at work. By cutting through the arcane musings of academicians, the jargon of analysts and advisors, and the rhetoric of politicians, he gives us a precise and accessible understanding of economic ideas, actions, and consequences as they actually exist in the here and now. Here are some of the heretofore unintelligible ideas he helps us to understand: what causes or combats inflation, and why it is so feared; what moves stocks and bonds up and down - and how to invest wisely and safely; whether it is good or bad to "protect" America from foreign goods - and what happens when we do and when we don't; what exactly Social Security is, and whether government spending is good or bad - and how dangerous the national debt is or isn't. In today's confusing economic climate, it has never been more important for everyone from homemakers to small-business owners to individual investors and middle managers to understand the forces at work.

Chase, C. David Mugged on Wall Street: An Insider Shows You How to Protect Yourself and Your Money from the Financial Pros
Simon & Schuster 1987 0671627066 / 9780671627065 Hard Cover Very Good + Very Good + 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Very-nice, clean copy of this 1987 ex-libris book - Fewer than usual library markings - Inner pages are free from writing, marks and tears - Tight spine - Bright page - 349 pages - Price inside dustcover: $19.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stockbroker Chase, a vice-president at E. F. Hutton, offers a chilling inside account of Wall Street brokerage firms, and how they often lose money for investors ``through well-hidden fees, incompetence and greed.'' He explains that in the unregulated 1980s, banks, insurance companies, lawyers and accountants now compete for ``planning'' fees and commissions on the sale of stocks, bonds, realty trusts, annuities and other financial instruments. Economists, investment letters and Wall Street prophets have been consistently wrong, argues the author, but there are ways that investors can knowledgeably set financial goals and judge specific investment choices. Chase recommends skeptical inquiry in many directions (``Don't trust anybody anymore'') in order to find an honest and competent broker with whom both parties can make money. An appendix of interest rates and investment results shows what's happened to date.
