An intriguing look at how past market wisdom can help you
survive and thrive during uncertain times
In Wealth, War & Wisdom, legendary Wall Street
investor Barton Biggs reveals how the turning points of World War
II intersected with market performance, and shows how these lessons
can help the twenty-first-century investor comprehend our own
perilous times as well as choose the best strategies for the modern
market economy.
Through these pages, Biggs skillfully discusses the performance
of equities in both victorious and defeated countries, examines how
individuals preserved their wealth despite the ongoing battles, and
explores whether or not public equities were able to increase in
value and serve as a wealth preserver. Biggs also looks at how
other assets, including real estate and gold, fared during this
dynamic and devastating period, and offers valuable insights on
preserving one's wealth for future generations. With clear, concise
prose, Biggs
- Reveals how the investment insights of truly trying times can
be profitably applied to modern day investment endeavors - Follows the performance of global markets against the backdrop
of World War II - Offers many relevant lessons-about life, politics, financial
markets, wealth, and survival-that can help you thrive in the face
of adversity
Wealth, War & Wisdom contains essential insights that
will help you navigate modern financial markets during the
uncertain times that will increasingly define this new century.
