The Forever Portfolio: How To Pick Stocks That You Can Hold For The Long Run
(258 pages, $27.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-1-59184-211-8) by James Altucher, published by Portfolio.
Mutual fund managers, daytraders, and other professional investors all focus on the short-term: a day, a month, a quarter, or a year. You can probably invest for the long-term: five, 10, or 20 years. It is possible to find “forever” stocks that you can buy and safely hold for at least 20 years. The companies profit from broad demographic trends and can ride out any short-term market fluctuations. A “forever portfolio” doesn’t need to be looked at every day and doesn’t cause panic if the market goes down 10% in a week. Such a portfolio focuses on two big questions: 1) What are the demographic forces taking shape around the world? and 2) What companies are best positioned to take advantage of these long-term trends? The time is now to focus on forever.

Keynes And The Market
(209 pages, $27.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-0-470-28496-4) by Justyn Walsh, published by John Wiley & Sons.
John Maynard Keynes was a world-changing economist, a baron in the British House of Lords, and architect of the post–World War II international monetary system. A lesser-known talent was his ability to make vast sums of money on the stock market. He flourished in both academia and in the financial markets. In this era of daytraders, delta ratios, and dotcoms, his observations on stock market behavior are more relevant than ever. Keynes developed investment principles that brought him singular stock market success. He switched from short-term speculator to long-term investor — one who seeks profit from pendulum swings in the market. This is an entertaining guide to John Maynard Keynes’ amazing stock market success. Accessible and informative, it identifies what modern masters of the market have taken from Keynes and used in their own investing styles.

Commodity Trader’s Almanac 2009
(192 pages, $39.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-0-470-23061-9) by Jeffrey H. Hirsch and John Person, published by John Wiley & Sons.
With the stock market posting flat or negative returns, many investors are turning to commodities to boost returns. The severe volatility in oil, precious metals, and food prices over the past year has caused millions to have been lost as well as gained in the commodities market. Despite erratic ups and downs, there is a cyclical pattern to the markets. Using the same format that made Stock Trader’s Almanac a desktop data bank, this almanac is a vital resource of historical reference and seasonal patterns. This edition has been revamped and improved in many ways, and now includes data on how the US dollar fares against four of the top currencies of the world. If you trade or are thinking of trading futures and/or commodities, you will want to have this guide.
