THE MAXIMS OF WALL STREET
A Compilation of Financial Adages, Ancient Proverbs, and Worldly Wisdom

SEE THE SPECIAL OFFER BELOW FOR A LIMITED TIME!

For nearly 30 years, financial economist and investment writer Mark Skousen have been collecting all the old wise adages, proverbs, and legends on Wall Street, based on in-depth interviews with old timers, reading rare financial books, and his own experiences in the financial markets. (He has been writing Forecasts & Strategies since 1980, when President Reagan was elected.)

Maxims of Wall Street is destined to be a classic reference that you will read with delight for years to come, and an ideal gift to investors, stockbrokers and money managers.

Maxims of Wall Street is the closest thing to Wall Street scripture ever created. The work contains:

  • Over 800 adages, by such notables as Warren Buffett (“If you wait to see the Robin sing, Spring may be over”)….J. P. Morgan (“Troubled waters make for good fishing”)….Humphrey Neill (“The public is right during the trends but wrong at both ends”)…. Richard Russell (“In a bear market, the winner is he who loses the least”)….and Steve Forbes (“Everybody is a long-term investor until the market goes down”).
  • Old Timer’s stories like the “trading sardines”…..where are the customer’s yachts?…..the gold bugs…..commodity traders…..The origin of “blue sky”…
  • Famous lines from Baron Rothschild, Ben Franklin, John D. Rockefeller, Joe Kennedy, J. P. Morgan, Bernard Baruch, John Templeton, Jesse Livermore, John Maynard Keynes, Ben Graham….
  • Sage advice on beating the market, diversification vs. concentration, value vs. growth, bulls vs. bears…..black swan events…..day traders…. doomsdayers and casandras….plungers and the peakcocks….hot tips and insider information….Losing money and missed opportunities…Wall Street vs. Main Street…chartists vs. fundamentalists….leverage and debt….privacy and government….taxes and tax havens….
  • Inspirations like “Rich Man’s Pearls of Wisdom”…and intriguing short stories such as “The Extra-Ordinary Life of Warren G. Hardaway.”
  • Quotes from the profound to the profane: “Nobody is more bearish than a sold-out bull” and “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king”….“To err is human, but to be paid for it divine” and “Definition of obscene profits — something you always hear about but never experience yourself.”

“A crash course in how to survive and profit in today’s volatile markets — destined to be a classic reference bible by stockbrokers and investors alike.”  – Alexander Green, Chief Investment Strategies, Oxford Club Communique

“A treasure chest of sound financial advice.”  — Richard Band’s Profitable Investing

SPECIAL OFFER IN HONOR OF ORLANDO MONEY SHOW!
STARTING FEB. 14 FOR A LIMITED TIME!

I just returned from the Orlando Money Show, where I gave the keynote address and served as master of ceremonies at the closing session. I must have spoken more than a dozen times, but it was great seeing all my subscribers there.
The hottest item at the show was my book, “The Maxims of Wall Street.” (Click here to learn more.) I brought five boxes and completely sold out after I announced that the first copy was $20 but each additional copy was only $10. Investors love a bargain! They bought three, four and sometimes five copies for themselves, friends, brokers, children, etc.
I’ll offer the same deal to my subscribers: Call Eagle at 1-800/211-7661 and mention the special Money Show offer, and I’ll charge you only $20 for the first book and $10 for an additional copy afterwards. I’ll autograph each copy (still the first edition). I’ll pay postage inside the United States (add $5 per book if you live in Canada or any other foreign destination). To order, mention code MAXIMM.

Whether as a treat for your own library, or as the perfect gift for the person in your life fascinated by personal finance, investing, Wall Street or business, order Maxims of Wall Street today.

Please Note: Maxims of Wall Street is also available on Amazon.com, but not at the discount offered above. If you want the special publisher’s discount, order using the information above. If you prefer to use Amazon to order, click here.
