About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Trade, 1999. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Online and off, David and Tom Gardner have demonstrated that Fools and their money are _not_ soon parted.that if you use the brothers' investment principles you can beat the market and have lots of fun doing it! The Motley Fool's RULE BREAKERS, RULE MAKERS contains two wholly original investment approaches. They are the very approaches that David and Tom use with their own money, in their own market-crushing portfolios that they manage in front of their online customers. David's approach, investing in Rule Breakers, focuses on upstart businesses that take their industries by storm, breaking all the conventions of their industries and changing the rules of the game. Recent Rule-Breaking examples are companies such as Amazon or America Online, David's two best investments, but they also include Wal-Mart at its outset, Starbucks, and the biotech giant, Amgen. These are high-risk, high-return companies that have defied traditional valuation on their way to astronomical investment returns. Here, David lays out the six attributes that all Rule Breakers share as he helps investors prepare to harpoon the next big fish. The best achieve sufficient speed, size, efficiency, and scope to begin making the rules for their industry. These are the Rule Makers, which are like legalized monopolies. Those that fail at this will eventually vanish from the business landscape, and the treatment they receive from the stock market is rough if not deadly. After teaching you to avoid these, Tom's section lays out the four principles that offer the opportunity to reap royal returns over long periods of time. Thus, this latest Motley Fool book is a stockpicking guide that teaches you how to locate the best investments available in today's public markets: the Rule Breakers and the Rule Makers. You can make a lot of money investing in either, but those who buy Rule Breakers and hold them all the way through Rule Maker status will make the most money of all. This book is practical, rewarding, funny, and, above all, revolutionary. The goal of The Motley Fool and the Gardners has always been to "educate, amuse, and enrich" and this book will succeed at all three. As new, unread, first edition, first printing,, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NF35
Synopsis
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the bestselling authors of The Motley Fool Investment Guide and its successful, savvy prequel, The Motley Fool's You Have More Than You Think, here's an engaging, humorous, and practical stock-picking guide, packed with Foolish insights, that caps off this invaluable personal finance trilogy from David and Tom Gardner. The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers presents the sophisticated, yet easy-to-understand stock-picking methods that have kept the Motley Fool portfolio beating the Standard & Poor's averages by more than 30 percent. The key is investing in small start-up companies that have historically offered the greatest investment returns (the "rule breakers") as well as huge companies that maintain legal monopolies in their fields (the "rule makers"). The Gardner brothers explain * How to identify the best investments in today's public markets: the rule breakers and the rule makers * The definition of a "tweener" -- a maturing rule breaker -- and how to detect the Tweener Death Rattle * When to buy and when to sell, and how to manage your portfolio on a regular basis In their first two books, the Fools got you started in investing and freed you from the fees and worries that Wall Street's Wise Men have been imposing on investors for decades. Now, by sharing their methods for picking rule breakers and rule makers, they guide you through a stock market that has seen company valuations soar to unprecedented heights and that promises to continue providing roller-coaster thrills. The Motley Fools are the ultimate companions to bring along for a safe, fun, and profitable ride.
