Pied Pipers of Wall Street, The
"How Analysts Sell You Down the River"
By Benjamin Mark Cole
Bloomberg Press 2001
ISBN 1576600831
 |
Stock
traders and buyers beware. The talented talking heads of financial
news gathering agencies may be part of today's hyped up age of stocks
where the talented talkers of the brokerage firms could be increasing
their own money, not yours. Just like the children of those poor
and unsuspecting folks in the fairy tale, your fortune and future
could easily disappear, led away by charismatic pipers called stock
analysts. Benjamin Mark Cole's argument is brokerage houses have
sold out the common investor in favor of bigger corporate interests.
He provides us with heavyweight examples of analysts hyping stocks
that later went bust.
Cole's
criticism of Wall Street salesmen is timely. Investors are looking
for a villain in the overnight evaporation of billions of dollars
in retirement funds. Analysts can't take the blame entirely for
the stock-market downturn, but their behavior during the run up
deserves closer inspection. |

By Napoleon Hill
High Roads Media, 2004
ISBN 1932429239
348 pages
 |
This book is a collection of principles for the attainment of wealth and financial independence. It was written by Napoleon Hill at the behest of American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, who was fascinated with success and wanted to understand why some men became successful while others in very similar circumstances did not.
Over two decades, Hill interviewed 504 people, including such luminaries as Ford, Wrigley, Wanamaker, Eastman, Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Woolworth, Darrow, Burbank, Morgan, Firestone, and three United States Presidents. Most of those interviewed began in poverty, with little education and influence. Yet, they all managed to become very successful at amassing staggering amounts of wealth. Hill distilled his findings into a 13-step formula that begins and ends with very basic principles. |
