This billionaire’s advice is the most profound of personal finance maxims. Everyone loves a bargain and hates overpaying. The New Scrooge Investing is one of the most comprehensive books ever written on making and saving money, and paying only what is necessary for stocks, bonds, real estate, and gold – and not a single penny more. By buying cheap and spending less, you put more money – a lot more money – in your pocket.

Look inside for these money-saving techniques:

  • Comprehensive strategies on finding super bargains in stocks, mutual funds, bonds, commodities, real estate, and foreign investments – even initial public offerings!
  • An exclusive survey of the best online discount stockbrokers for maximum service and minimum commission, plus an entire chapter on Scrooge techniques for trading on the Internet.
  • Listings of the lowest-cost collectibles, art dealers, bank accounts, and more.

Keeping a tight rein on your investment expenses is nothing new. In fact, history’s most successful businesspeople and investors – from John D. Rockefeller and J. Paul Getty to Warren Buffett and your rich uncle – have always been bargain hunters. Let The New Scrooge Investing show you how to invest shrewdly, develop a consistent savings and investment program, and build your net worth each and every day toward a healthy, prosperous financial future.
