    Description of Beating the Dow

    In 'Beating the Dow' Michael O'Higgins provides an ingenious strategy showing how all investors - from those with only $5,000 to invest to millionaires - can get spectacular results with below-average risk. The secret? A few simple methods that show you how to invest in the thirty stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

    Over the last eighteen and a half years, one of O'Higgins' methods produced a return of 6,246 percent - whereas the Dow's total return was only 559 percent! Beating the Dow, chosen by Yale Hirsch as the number 2 investing book of the year in the 1992 Stock Trader's Almanac, introduces a new system that requires mastering only a few simple automatic steps - and eliminates agonizing over trading decisions or your money manager's reliability. There has never been a book like Beating the Dow.

    Reviews

    'By using this approach it is possible to be successful regardless of the direction the overall market takes.'
    New York Times

    'Lucid ... O'Higgins' data are persuasive.'
    Wall Street Journal

    'By following the O'Higgins method of buying blue chips when they are out of favor and offering the highest yields, small investors will often beat the pros at their own game without having to be concerned about day-to-day stock market volatility.'
    Jordan E. Goodman, coauthor of The Barron's Finance and Investment Handbook.
