A simple guide to a smarter strategy for the individual investor A Wealth of Common Sense sheds a refreshing light on investing, and shows you how a simplicity-based framework can lead to better investment decisions. The financial market is a complex system, but that doesn't mean it requires a complex strategy; in fact, this false premise is the driving force behind many investors' market "mistakes." Information is important, but understanding and perspective are the keys to better decision-making. This book describes the proper way to view the markets and your portfolio, and show you the simple strategies that make investing more profitable, less confusing, and less time-consuming. Without the burden of short-term performance benchmarks, individual investors have the advantage of focusing on the long view, and the freedom to construct the kind of portfolio that will serve their investment goals best. This book proves how complex strategies essentially waste these advantages, and provides an alternative game plan for those ready to simplify. Complexity is often used as a mechanism for talking investors into unnecessary purchases, when all most need is a deeper understanding of conventional options. This book explains which issues you actually should pay attention to, and which ones are simply used for an illusion of intelligence and control. Keep up with—or beat—professional money managers Exploit stock market volatility to your utmost advantage Learn where advisors and consultants fit into smart strategy Build a portfolio that makes sense for your particular situation You don't have to outsmart the market if you can simply outperform it. Cut through the confusion and noise and focus on what actually matters. A Wealth of Common Sense clears the air, and gives you the insight you need to become a smarter, more successful investor.

These Morning Musings are based on questions and observations inspired by trans-national business transactions. In this book, the author follows legal and business developments in different countries and muses about them. Whether it is about business decisions, immigration challenges, trademark disputes, or liability management, all of these topics ignite the global thinking. The book gives you food for thought and many reasons to reflect and to smile. Curiosity about these topics will most likely morph into a larger contemplation to foster a better understanding of global trends. - mus·ing (myo͞o′zĭng), adj. Deep in thought; contemplative, n.1. Contemplation; meditation 2. A product of contemplation; a thought The other day a friend called me and started the conversation by saying, "OK, boomer," and he laughed. I realized he did not mean me personally - clearly, I am not a boomer by the common generational approach - but it was his way of saying, "I watched your musing, and I liked it." Additionally, I get this question, sometimes during dinner meetings or small talk, "What is the source of your ideas?" Do you want to know what inspires me every day? Where do I develop the ideas for the Morning Musings?Clearly talking with my family about life and the world, traveling to different continents, working as the Chairman of an international law firm serving global clients and their businesses: All of this together is the ongoing source of my inspiration. My musings are based on questions and observations arising out of working trans-national business transactions. I also follow legal and business developments in different countries. And there is so much food for thought. Or reason to reflect and smile. Is there time to allow this thought to develop and to morph into a contemplation? "Brief and packed full of information, insight and humor. These Morning Musings have opened my eyes and helped me better understand today's ever changing world. OK Boomer, do you want to start your day out armed with information? I sure do! I start my day with the Morning Musing. These timely talks somehow make their way into my daily life and make me seem smarter. By the way, has anyone found our family Christmas Pickle ornament? Warning: The Musings may make you think and want to know more."- Kenneth W. Bacon, President and CEO Horizon Electric, Inc. "Refreshing view on a topic which continues to be discussed during these unprecedented times. Reinhard's ability to make these thought provoking discussions seem like you are sitting down with your neighbor make this book a must read." - Rich Baich, Chief Information Security Officer, AIG "Each musing, which is itself only a few paragraphs, provides a full depth and wealth of information. Despite there being a lot of information within each musing, the book is produced in a way that is easy to read and understand. I believe this is Reinhard's deeper idea, not just to inform, but to make me as the reader or listener think or smile about the world and humanity at large." - Dr. Henning O. Bruns, Chairman of the Leadership Committee of the German American Chamber of Commerce (GACC South), North Carolina Chapter - Senior Partner CON MOTO Consulting Group Inc. "Reinhard has a vast knowledge of complex global business issues and distills his thoughts for a quick read. His wit contributes to very entertaining and informative musings. A great way to get up to speed with current events affecting international business operations." - Johnelle Causwell, Citizen Diplomacy Program Director, International House Charlotte "Reinhard's musings are a great way to get a comprehensive, in-depth overview of the current market situation.. Especially now, that rules & regulations change so quickly, it's important to stay on top. These musings are definitely a great, effective way to do so."- Hans H.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award The unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm--and made $23 billion doing it. Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor--Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros--can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth twenty-three billion dollars. Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world. As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit. The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons's revolution means for the rest of us.

One of the New York Times’s Best Books of the 21st Century Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly‚ Slate‚ Chronicle of Higher Education‚ Literary Hub, Book Riot‚ and Zora A tenth-anniversary edition of the iconic bestseller—"one of the most influential books of the past 20 years," according to the Chronicle of Higher Education—with a new preface by the author "It is in no small part thanks to Alexander's account that civil rights organizations such as Black Lives Matter have focused so much of their energy on the criminal justice system." —Adam Shatz, London Review of Books Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander's unforgettable argument that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is "undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S." Now, ten years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a tenth-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.
