Money Doesn't Grow on Trees: And Other Financial Wisdom, Theories, Nostrums, and Outright Lies

The pefect investment strategy? Any reputable financial advisor will tell you there is no such thing, but authors Breck Speed and Mark Dutton are incurable optimists. For more than a decade they searched - like some financial Don Quixote and Sancho Panza - for an approach to investing "that results in better than average returns - maybe even an occasional home run - with zero risk." Did they succeed? Of course not, but their journey of risk-versus-reward discovery paid off in this treasure trove of investment philosophy. Money Doesn't Grow on Trees is a compendium of useful tips, theories, and old-fashioned common sense maxims encountered during their decade-long quest. Experienced investors, beginners, and even brokers will find plenty of valuable advice here. There is wisdom, too - some good, sound thinking - and the one thing every investor needs: a sense of humor.
