"Those who invest well have an innate ability to distill abundant, raw information into the scarce commodity of wisdom. Here´s how some of the best have done it down through the years."—David H. Komansky, Chairman and CEO, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.

"I personally knew moderately all the characters except Charles Dow. Any opportunity to learn more from such people is an opportunity that should not be missed."—Roy R. Neuberger, Senior Partner, Neuberger Berman Inc., and author of So Far, So Good: The First 94 years.

Charles H. Dow, Benjamin Graham, George Soros, Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, Mario Gabelli, and Donald Trump. You won´t find a seminar or lecture anywhere that boasts a panel quite like this—a group of the great stock-pickers and market gurus, both past and present, brought together to instruct you on the art of investing. The Book of Investing Wisdom offers you a unique insight into how these professionals and many others achieved financial success through intelligent investing—all from the comfort of your armchair. Never before have the writings of such a large and diverse group of brilliant investors been collected between the covers of a single book.

The Book of Investing Wisdom is an anthology of 46 essays and speeches from the most successful, well-known investors and financiers of our time.

Granville on market movements, John Moody on investment vs. speculation, Otto Kahn on the New York Stock Exchange and public opinion, William Peter Hamilton on the Dow theory, and Leo Melamed on the art of futures trading, to name just a few.

Each essay is preceded by a brief introduction that provides intriguing and insightful background information about its author´s life and career, and places the essay in historical perspective.

Pearls from The Book of Investing Wisdom.

"A group of lemmings looks like a pack of individualists compared with Wall Street when it gets a concept in its teeth."—Warren Buffett.

"A great patients´ drug is one that cures an affliction once and for all, but a great investor´s drug is one that the patient has to keep buying."—Peter Lynch.

"For those investors infested with quarterly measurements, a year can be the long run and five years is just about the outer limit."—Peter L. Bernstein.

"More money is probably lost by people who attempt to invest their money conservatively and sanely, but ignorantly, than is lost by those who enter into frank speculations."—John Moody¤

5) Audio Download Book The Book of Investing Wisdom by audible.com. When the stock market booms--as it did through most of the 1990s--relatively inexperienced investors like to believe there´s a new paradigm at work. That´s why it´s refreshing to take a look occasionally at how investors survived previous booms--and busts. What did the founders of Moody´s, Value Line, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average think about the markets they were analyzing and attempting to quantify?

Thus, when Charles Dow writes in an essay titled "Booms and Busts" that "There is a pronounced difference between bull markets that are made by manipulation and those that are made by the public," you perk up. Sure, he was writing all this in the Wall Street Journal in 1899, but he could just as easily be talking about day traders and 401(k) savers in 1999.

Essays by more current investment gurus appear, too. Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, and Abby Joseph Cohen pitch in, as does George Soros in a must-read section called "Crash and Learn". Not all investing involves the stock market, so even Donald Trump makes an appearance, with an essay called "Trump Cards: The Elements of the Deal."

You won´t find hot stock tips here, but you will find the greatest investors of the past century or so discussing the principles that governed or govern their decision-making. And since those decisions created some of the greatest fortunes of all time, it´s a vital read. --Lou Schuler¤
