The Common Sense of Money and Investments

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bücher zum Thema Investment gibt es viele, doch nur wenige sind so zeitlos gültig wie dieses. In seinem charmanten, direkten Stil beweist Rukeyser, daß die besten Ratschläge zur Geldanlage tatsächlich zeitlos sind. Er liefert faszinierende Einblicke in das Anlagengeschäft unmittelbar nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und vor dem großen Börsenkrach. Ein sehr detaillierter und nützlicher Leitfaden. In a world where ridiculously hyped tomes promising instant financial euphoria for ordinary citizens now vie with counsel on health and sex in every bookstore, old-fashioned common sense still takes the prize. Most of the would-be gurus, not to mention their customers, would hare been better off to read this one first.
