Deflation:
How to Survive and Thrive in the Coming Wave of Deflation
By A. Garry Shilling
McGraw-Hill, 1999 - 342 pages
Having left Wall Street over a year ago I
am amazed at how little attention the media, Wall Street &
the Fed have given to Deflation.
In my opinion the probability of a deflationary
scenario is higher than ever.
This book helps you prepare for such tumultuous
economic times. More

The
Gorilla Game
By Geoffrey A. Moore
HarperBusiness, 1999 - 384 pages
The authors help you identify the next "800 Lb.
Gorilla," which may generate substantial returns for
investors. However, the weakness in the book is that
they don't teach people how these companies are valued and if
they are paying too much for them. More

the Street
By Peter Lynch

I would encourage people to read my full review via the More
Info button. There are pros and cons to reading this

Investment Classics
By Leo Gough
Financial Times, 1999 - 256 pages
I believe this is a very good book for beginners seeking
investment advice. If you are an investment professional who
is well read, this book isn't for you. In this book the author
tries to briefly describe each book and the relevant points of
each book, with some excerpts taken from each. More

Conquer
the Crash:
You
Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression
By
Robert
Prechter Jr
John Wiley & Sons,
2002
-
320 pages
This book is
another that provides a contrarian opinion to what Wall Street
pundits are currently saying. I
would read this after reading Deflation by A. Gary Shilling
first. The book is about " doom and
gloom" and is quite scary for most. Nonetheless, I
believe that people should be prepared for what might happen
in the economy moving forward. More
