Editorial Review: Product Description
The new paradigm for investing and building wealth in the twenty-first century. The Future for Investors reveals new strategies that take advantage of the dramatic changes and opportunities that will appear in world markets.
Jeremy Siegel, one of the world?s top investing experts, has taken a long, hard, and in-depth look at the market and the stocks that investors should acquire to build long-term wealth. His surprising finding is that the new technologies, expanding industries, and fast-growing countries that stockholders relentlessly seek in the market often lead to poor returns. In fact, growth itself can be an investment trap, luring investors into overpriced stocks and overly competitive industries.
The Future for Investors shatters conventional wisdom and provides a framework for picking stocks that will be long-term winners. While technological innovation spurs economic growth, it has not been kind to investors. Instead, companies that have marketed tried-and-true products for decades in slow-growth or even declining industries have superior returns to firms that develop ?the bold and the new.? Industry sectors many regard as dinosaurs?railroads and oil companies, for example?have actually beat the market.
Professor Siegel presents these strategies within the context of the coming shift in global economic power and the demographic age wave that will sweep the United States, Europe, and Japan. Contrary to the popular belief that these economic and demographic trends doom investors to poor returns, Professor Siegel explains the True New Economy and how to take advantage of the coming surge in invention, discovery, and economic growth.
The faster the world changes, the more important it is for investors to heed the lessons of the past and find the tried-and-true companies that can help you beat the market and prosper in the years ahead.

Summary: Another book that is WRONG about the Stock Market
Date: 2008-12-16 - 
Comment: Right, Mr. Siegel gives the great advice in this investment book to buy stocks that pay high dividends.
Well, I took his advice and bought GE stock in 2007. According to his advice, a good high dividend pick. How could I go wrong.
Well, as I write this in 2008, I have lost over 50% of my investment. So what do I think of this book. Not very much.
Save your money by NOT buying this book.

Summary: a gift
Date: 2008-04-28 - 
Comment: I bought this as a gift for someone who dabbles heavily at the suggestion of someone who is a serious investor.
Summary: Valuable take on investing in value stocks
Date: 2008-03-06 -
Comment: Siegel presents a compelling case for investing in value stocks (shares of companies with lower price-to-earning ratios that use profits to pay dividends to shareholders rather than fund rapid growth). The author backs up his conclusions with lots of data, and his treatment of the historical context and tax implications of value investing is straightforward and thorough.
So much stock picking advice focuses on growth, sector analysis, and territoriality; in addition to all the hype, adherence to those theories requires a lot of research and trading. More importantly, much of that advice cuts against the lessons from my own experience regarding personal and professional development, and my experience regarding the way in which you grow anything - namely, an intuitive sense that discipline and long-term perspective are far more important than the latest thing, or getting lost in the details of something that seems appealing, but that you don't fully understand. If you've got a similar mindset, you'll find this a book to be a great resource.

Summary: Very Good
Date: 2007-10-21 -
Comment: This is a very good book. Highly recommended and well worth the time. It is normally tough to decide among the many competing books which one to read. As usually time available is the limiting factor. The author explains some very importants concepts to value investing with simplicity. At times it appears that the Author may be going too far to prove how he sounded the warning bells before the 2000 market crash, but overall I really enjoyed reading the book and had many take aways.
