The Motley Fool's What to Do With Your Money Now: Ten Steps to Stayingup in a Down Market

Tom Gardner; David Gardner; Inc Motley Fool

The late-90's bull market made most of us feel like financial geniuses. We could do no wrong! But the last two years have taught us that there definitely are rights and wrongs when it comes to money management.
In their first new book in over three years, Motley Fool co-founders David and Tom Gardner help you recognize the rights and wrongs as they answer the question on everyone's mind: "What do I do with my money now?" They dissect the rise and fall of the American markets and economy, offer lessons to act upon today, and provide a look ahead to the future with some timely (and timeless) thoughts on the perspective you should take.
Along the way, they address such important questions as:
What to do about debt in the short term?
Is this the time to snatch up stock market bargains?
Bonds, T-Bills, CDs, savings accounts--does it make sense to be conservative?
Are any mutual funds sure bets?
Why you should believe in America now more than ever.
No matter what life stage you are in or your level of investing expertise, The Motley Fool's What to Do With Your Money Now has important investment advice for you!

The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens: 8 Steps to Having More Money Than Your Parents Ever Dreamed of

Tom Gardner; David Gardner; Selena Maranjian

Tom and David Gardner, the original Motley Fools, and Selena Maranjian, TMF Senior Writer, have created a realistic, hip manual. Using a squadron of young consultants (from middle school to college) they've outlined a practical path to financial independence -- and the possibility of piles of filthy lucre later in life. Here are the 8 steps in brief:
Set goals (and reach them) Make and save money Be smart about your money Avoid financial blunders Know what to expect Your new friend: the Mutual Fund Actually invest!
Learn together Details are not "dumbed down." Exercises on saving and spending still allow for pizza and cars and clothes and a great sound system. According to The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens, "You don't want to pursue money for the sake of having money. Don't make your life little. Don't get petty. Don't be a miser. Instead, dream. Think of how you'll use the money to make both your life better and the world a little bit better place to be."
Most schools never touch this stuff. Many parents don't know it. Just understanding how compound interest works for you (in savings and investments) or against you (in credit card debt) is invaluable. Any kid who ever bought a Beanie Baby and deliberately left the ear tag on is ready to move on to bigger investments. Any teen who tracks Game Boy points can track the Nasdaq. It's all there in The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens.

The Motley Fool's Rule Breakers, Rule Makers: The Foolish Guide to Picking Stocks

Tom Gardner; David Gardner

Rule Breakers, Rule Makers caps off the trilogy of investment education and ideas that starts with the definitive guide for beginners, You Have More Than You Think, and progresses to The Motley Fool Investment Guide (never mind that we wrote those two in reverse order.)
In closing up the trilogy, Rule Breakers, Rule Makers is therefore the most "advanced" work of the three, which isn't to say that it's harder to read or any more complicated. But its thoughts are for more experienced investors, people willing to take greater-than-average risk to own the most dynamic growth stocks. It is also for serious business thinkers. Indeed, this book is as much a "business book" as it is an investing book; we increasingly believe that successful investing involves not much else besides locating winning long-term businesses.
We personally spend many of our waking hours contributing commentary and discussion on our site, which also features an interactive discussion specifically about this book in addition to scads of articles and features about individual stocks and investing in general. The Motley Fool can now help you track your portfolio, buy a mortgage, and get free answers to tax questions via our Foolish CPAs. You can also follow our own investment picks: David runs the Rule Breaker Portfolio on the site, while Tom runs the Rule Maker Portfolio. Both are real-money portfolios, and offer daily recaps with our updated outlook and investment lessons. They also have all their returns displayed and compared to the market averages, on a daily, monthly, annual, and historical basis. And yes, both are beating the market!
