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.

When it comes to developing investment savvy and understanding today's complex market, you cannot rely solely on business magazines and financial papers.

This book outlines a new approach to investing based on the ideas of two highly successful investors, both of whom believe in the latticework approach to investing. The author provides a starting point for building your own latticework of connected ideas. Latticework is a true liberal arts approach to investing, and points the way to a richer, fuller, more rewarding life.
