In Investing Under Fire, thirty of America#s top money managers, market strategists, and political, academic, and business experts provide lessons on how to interpret and navigate through these tumultuous times. Assembled by veteran market commentator Alan Ackerman, these expert views are arranged in five discrete sections, each shedding light on the hazards#and the opportunities#that lie ahead for investors amidst the crossfire in our uncertain times. Among success strategies offered by world-class money managers, Part 1 opens with eminent Vanguard founder John Bogle#s exposé of the mutual fund industry#s errant evolution and prospects for renewal. Part 2 describes key sectors#from gold to biotech to the China market#that may well offer promise for shell-shocked investors. In Part 3, #Tools of the Trade,# are reliable research sources and legal recourse available to market players. Part 4, describing selected innovative companies that have faced dynamic and uncertain market conditions and succeeded, provides examples of what investors should look for between the lines of the typical annual report. Part 5 lays out prospects in geopolitics and implications for markets and investors. Investing Under Fire is the first book of its type to look at the broadest set of issues domestic and international investors need to consider to rationalize risk and select the right financial opportunities for the future. No market player should proceed without first reading this provocative and timely resource
