Bringing Home the Gold This book was written in simpler times -- and maybe a return to simpler times is needed to understand and *invest in* the market.

This is not some ponderous tome about things the average investor has no access to, like derivatives, CDS's, and other arcane nonsense. (But in a harbinger of what was to come, Mr. Shaefer warned against such Wall Street trash 20 years ago.) The book was a best-seller in 1989, published in both the US and Japan.

You might consider a 20-year-old book outdated -- but you might want to read this simple, straightforward, common-sense primer before you make that decision. This is a book about *investing* the old-fashioned way -- doing your research, allocating wisely, selecting appropriate sectors and rebalancing effectively.

There are exactly 84 copies available for $8.99, delivery included, and, if you like, autographed by the author. Please state the name you'd like it inscribed to if you want an autographed copy. [Cheapest price for a new copy on Amazon is $19. Cheapest price for an autographed copy is $29. And the cheapest price for a used copy, unsigned, is 11 cents -- plus, of course, "shipping and handling!"]
