Description of The All-Season Investor

Boom, bust, growth, stagnation, inflation. Every stage or season of the business cycle - including recession - has its own profitable investment strategy. The All-Season Investor is an invaluable handbook for anyone who's trying to make the most of their investments - no matter what the economic climate.

The All-Season Investor shows you how allocating assets among several investment categories should be your cornerstone of a successful investment strategy for the '90s. You'll begin with a general introduction to asset allocation. The importance of diversification in successful asset allocation is discussed. The role of securities and mutual funds in the asset allocation mix is examined. And you'll learn how to earn above-average return by adding compounding and risk management to the mix.

The All Season Investor shows you how to read changes in the economic climate, the bond market, the stock market, and the index of leading economic indicators like a pro. This complete guide to modern methods of asset allocation shows you how to assess the economic climate on the basis of those figures and formulate a strategy for success using that knowledge.
