Description of The Top Ten Investments for the Next Ten Years |
This new book by the authors of 'Wake Up' shows how anyone and everyone, with sufficient research and discipline, can rectify their financial position. Using a step-by-step programme, readers can take control of their financial destiny before it's too late. After all, who wouldn't want a financially secure retirement?
The book is designed to have a wide appeal: it suits almost anyone who has investments or is concerned about how he/she will finance his/her retirement. It covers all key investment classes, including stocks, funds, bonds, cash, property, commodities and collectables. It also explains how to make money from the fast-growing 'green' businesses that are arising out of planetary necessity. The authors highlight the downside of existing structured retirement schemes so that readers can be better informed before deciding whether or not to consider these as an investment option.
The book uses anecdotes, factual evidence and a trademarked "DiagnosticGrid" to guide individuals of all ages and of all circumstances to a better financial outcome for themselves and for their families.
The advice in the book is not commission-driven nor is it in any way biased. The authors recount stories from their own business lives to provide colour to what for many is a dull subject: financial self-preservation. They also include six case studies of individuals who they have interviewed in respect of their own investment plans and practices for retirement. These personal histories augment the sense that financial planning is a life-practice pursued by successful people who are financially independent.
