The Rules For Growing
Rich: Making Money In The New-Information Economy (307 pages, $25 hardcover,
2000, ISBN 0812930568), by David A. Lereah, published by Crown Business.
Today's new information economy has generated unprecedented opportunities
for investors. But taking advantage of them requires discipline and a knowledge
of economic trends. There will be recessions and bear markets. And there
will be future bull markets. With the advent of the Internet, ordinary
investors gained access to the kind of information traditionally available
only to investing professionals. This book provides investors with the
analytical tools they need to take advantage of that raw information. This
book presents 168 rules for growing rich, broken down into six different
categories. With these rules, investors can gain a much clearer understanding
of the financial markets and can make profitable investments by more accurately
anticipating where the economy is headed.

The Day Trader's Survival
Guide: How To Be Consistently Profitable In Short-Term Markets (236
pages, $43.95 hardcover, 2000, ISBN 0066620856), by Christopher A. Farrell,
published by Harper Business. Why does a stock such as Juniper move 25
points in a single day while Microsoft never does? Why is Rambus a great
stock for daytraders, whereas Dell and Cisco aren't? What do the three
out of 10 daytraders who are consistently making money know that the seven
who are losing money don't? These are the types of questions this book
answers. An unwary daytrader can get steamrolled by large brokerage firms
that have the power to move markets on a whim. This book exposes the "dark
side" of daytrading, including a look at how Wall Street manipulates stock
prices, and why so many daytraders ultimately lose money.

How To Pick Stocks
Like Warren Buffett (278 pages, $22.95 hardcover, 2000, ISBN 0071357690),
by Timothy Vick, published by McGraw-Hill. Warren Buffett is widely
considered history's greatest investor. This fascinating man -- humorous
and homespun on the outside, serious and ready for battle on the inside
-- would have the world believe his success was as simple as adding two
plus two. But the truth is entirely different. It is revealed that Buffett
has a clear and consistent set of investment rules and methods that have
brought him -- and his investors -- unparalleled good fortune. Far from
a scratch-the-surface biography filled with interesting but extraneous
biographic material, this book takes you straight to the core of Buffett's
investing genius.

a starting point for building your own latticework of connected ideas.
