Reviews

The marketing of financial products is full of hype, misinformation, aggressive sales tactics and, ultimately, consumer misunderstanding. For this reason, business how-to audio programs should be perfect time-management tools. They can be read while driving, exercising or performing chores and tasks around the house and office. The protective strategies in the audio version of Beating The Dow With Bonds: A High-Return, Low-Risk Strategy for Outperforming the Pros Even When Stocks Go South will interest followers of O'Higgins's original Beating the Dow. It will also reassure investors who want to flee overpriced stocks but need a rationale for doing so. Reader Jack Perkins has a familiar voice known to millions from his 25 years at NBC News. M.P.

In his earlier work, Beating the Dow, O'Higgins presented his "dogs of the Dow" investment strategy that involves investing in "out-of-favor" Dow stocks to result in returns ahead of most average market strategies. Now he explains how to prepare for what he projects as a rapidly approaching time of decline in today's overvalued market with his survival strategy that involves allocating assets among Dow dog stocks, T-bills, and T-bonds. The arcane world of U.S. Treasury bonds and bills is well presented, helping investors better understand how these ventures work as well as how to achieve better returns with these less risky tools. O'Higgins insists incorporating bonds, once considered the ugly stepchild to stocks, in a portfolio, rather than focusing entirely in the market, should beat the Dow Jones Industrial Average in a low-risk manner. Investors worried that the bear market on the rocks below is about to overtake their investments will find this advice of great value. Jack Perkins's immediately identifiable presence lends credence to this valuable contribution to the finance genre. Highly recommended for all public libraries.ADale Farris, Groves. TX
