Warren Buffett, and George Soros all started with nothing. They're the world's richest investors and they built their billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing. Was it luck? Something in their genes? Connections and ';insider information' that the average investor can't get? NO! says Mark Tier in this path-breaking book. He discovered that despite their radically different investment styles they both practice exactly the same mental habits and strategies religiously. What's more, Peter Lynch, Benjamin Graham, Sir John Templeton, Bernard Baruch, and all the other successful investors and traders he has studied and worked with follow them too. Without exception. Their mental habits and strategies fly in the face of the conventional Wall Street ';wisdom.' For example: Buffett and Soros don't diversify. When they buy they always ';buy as much as they can.' Both will tell you that making predictions about the market or the economy has virtually nothing to do with their success. They're not focused on the profits they expect to make. Indeed, they're not investing for the money at all. They don't believe that to make big profits you must take big risks. Indeed, they are far more focused on not losing money than on making it. Their beliefs about what makes markets tick are amazingly similar and diametrically opposed to academic theories like the ';Efficient Market Hypothesis' and the ';Random Walk' which they both view with contempt. And all those research reports that Wall Street churns out they never read them. They don't give a hoot what other people think. In identifying the winning investment habits that led the world's richest investors to phenomenal success, Mark Tier has uncovered for the first time the habits that ALL successful investors share. What's more, every one of these winning habits is something you can easily learn yourself. And it makes no difference whether you look for stock market bargains like Warren Buffett, trade currency futures like George Soros, invest in real estate, antiques or collectibles, use technical analysis, buy on dips or buy on breakouts, use a computerized trading system or just want to salt money away safely for a rainy day. Adopt the winning investment habits of the world's richest investors and you too can make more money more easily than you ever thought possible.';This book is based on a stunningly simple, but highly intelligent and effective idea: Analyze the methods of Buffett and Sorosprobably the two most successful investors of our timeand see exactly why theyre so successful. Tier's approach is especially valuable because Soros's and Buffett's methods are often so differentyet, as Tier shows, the keys to their success are amazingly similar. Great book something I rarely say about this genre.' Doug Casey, editor, International Speculator';Mark Tier's mapping of investment genius is simply masterful clean and true. What lifts his book even further above the rest, though, is his infectious delight in discovery and clarity of explanation as he hands you the attitudinal and behavioral keys to becoming the consummate investor.' David Gordon, author, Expanding Your World: Modeling the Structure of Experience';Tier has written an excellent book. His chapter on exit strategies alone (knowing when to sell even before you buy) is worth the price of the book.' Dr. Mark Skousen, editor, Forecasts & Strategies

A low risk investment you can virtually buy and forget like Starbucks when it listed: $1,000 invested then is now worth $201,901.18-a hard to believe return of 202 times your moneyYet . . . such profits are typical of hot growth companiesBut how can you spot the next Starbucks, Whole Foods, Walmart, or McDonalds from the hundreds of turkeys that list every year?There's a science to the "Next Big Thing" strategy, and Mark Tier understands it. Tier shows that explosive brands like Starbucks, Whole Foods, McDonald's, and Walmart didn't become successful by accident. Through in-depth and accessible case studies, Tier pulls back the curtain on the early Key Performance Indicators that each of these major companies showed even in their earliest stages. Grasp these foundations of success and you, too, will be able to spot the next Starbucks before its shares explode.Tier even shows how you, as an "average-investor-in-the-street," with no access to top management, no "insider information" and no hope of getting any, can find such a hot growth stock-without leaving the comfort of your own home. You'll also learn-Why Starbucks has more stores than any other coffee company, and not Peet's (with a 20-year head start), Seattle's Best, or someone else.What turned the "upstart" discounter Walmart from America's boondocks into the world's most profitable retailer. And how Kmart and Target, which both opened before Walmart, aren't even in the race for the #2 and #3 spots (occupied by France's Carrefour and Britain's Tesco respectively).How McDonald's gained the "First Mover" advantage to become the world's biggest hamburger chain while Burger King, with a two-year head start, lost theirs. And why Whole Foods, of the hundreds of specialty grocers in the United States when it opened its doors, is the one that grew to dominate its market.To summarize, by comparing Starbucks' pattern of growth to other high-growth companies and the competitors they left behind we can single out the 5 significant factors they all have in common: the "5 clues" to spotting the "Next Starbucks."You'll Also Discover- Two ways you could spot the next Starbucks by "just walking around" How you can apply the "5 clues" to dig up hidden gems and get ahead of the Wall Street "experts"-from the comfort of your own home Four completely different ways to profit from the next hot growth stock-or the last one Three simple indicators you can use to cross the "Next Turkey" off your list How to weed out the dross by "reading between the lines" of a company's financials-even if you'd rather go to Starbucks than read its annual report.You'll discover how to pinpoint a high growth company that's also a long-term, low-risk investment you can sock away in your pension plan and pretty much forget about (until you want to retire to Florida or the south of France).The 5 clues are also the "5 Key Ingredients" for starting a successful business of your own.So rather than investing in the next Starbucks, you could decide to create it yourself!
