Follow The
Fed To Investment Success (200 pages, $24.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN
978-0-470-22649-0) by Douglas S. Roberts, published by John Wiley &
Sons.
As a Wall Street insider, the author discovered something that changed
the way he looked at investing. He noticed that small and mid-sized companies
prospered when the Federal Reserve made it easier for them to borrow, but
they struggled when the Fed made getting money more difficult. Douglas
Roberts found a direct correlation between stock market performance and
the actions of the Fed. By simply shifting his money between large and
small stocks, as infrequently as a couple of times a year, he was able
to outperform the S&P 500 and most of the mutual funds. This book takes
you through his strategy and shows how easy it is to create wealth.

A Speculator (142 pages, $18.49 hardcover, 2007, ISBN 978-1-4303-1660-2)
by Fred Carach, published by www.lulu.com.
This is the story of an average guy, not a Wall Street guru, over the
course of 40-plus years, and of his transformation from a conservative
blue-chip investor into a riverboat gambler with nerves of steel. He realized
that if he wanted a stock that would go to the moon, blue-chips weren't
the answer. He introduces the reader to the world of small and micro-cap
stocks. He is not satisfied with 15% a year, and he shows you why maybe
you shouldn't be either.
