Description of Beating the Dow with Bonds

In Beating the Dow with Bonds, Michael O'Higgins, best-selling author of Beating the Dow, provides a proven system of achieving the lowest-risk, highest returns in a chaotic stock market - investment advice requiring less than five minutes per year that will help you beat the pros 95 percent of the time regardless of market conditions.

In 1989 Michael O'Higgins rocked the investment world. By following a very simple formula, he asserted, investors could beat the pros 95 percent of the time by putting 100 percent of their money into the 'dog' stocks of the Dow. Not only did his formula work for nearly a decade, but the publication of Beating the Dow spawned a veritable industry, including websites, mutual funds, and $20 billion worth of investments, elevating the theory to legendary status.

Now O'Higgins is back - and geared to rock the investment world again. With stock market fluctuations ranging from all-time highs to all-time lows, the King of the Dow Dogs insists that incorporating bonds - once considered the ugly stepsibling to stock - into your portfolio is the only way to win.

For investors with as little as $5,000, Beating the Dow with Bonds provides a safer, more reliable opportunity to beat the Dow not just in today's market - but in any market.
