Readers are shown which investments provide the best returns in varying economic climates, how to recognize and take advantage of investment opportunities overseas as well as investment opportunities within the United States. Specific strategies for identifying the strongest mutual funds and stock market sectors are provided as well as strategies for periods when interest rates either rise or fall. Tools are provided to identify periods when stocks and/or other investment options are likely to advance, periods when market outlooks are more cloudy, and strategies that suggest changes in portfolio allocation that may be made accordingly. Other areas discussed include real estate, precious metals and other commodities, and investments that bring in high and steady levels of income. Readers will learn which forms of investment produce the best returns depending upon the general market climate. And finally, specific areas of investment are supplemented with strategies for retirement investment. Although ample information is provided for readers to make use of the investment suggestions discussed in the book, websites are referenced that are available for further information and education.
