Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I learned the basics of money management from Geoff Raymond, who ran the investment division at Texas Commerce Bank in Houston. He was a very deliberate person, and he believed in human-to-human contact rather than numbers to gauge a company’s future performance. #2 I was very nervous about visiting the offices of Global Marine, a company I was considering buying. I was worried about the company's cyclical nature, and whether or not I could predict the bottom of a downturn. I decided to wait and buy it on the way up at $7 or $10. #3 The oil services industry unraveled in Houston in the early 1980s, and utilization dropped from 70 percent to 25 percent. Global Marine’s stock was trading under $1 by mid-1985. #4 People often learn from history, but only the recent past. They forget that the past is not a reliable predictor of the future. Investors frequently fail to look beyond the recent past, and this has gotten them into trouble.

The energy and optimism of the new nation are abundantly apparent in this catalogue. It features some of the icons of American art, such as John Singleton Copley's The Copley Family and Gilbert Stuart's portraits of the first five presidents. Numerous paintings, including Benjamin West's Colonel Guy Johnson and Karonghyontye (Captain David Hill), are discussed from a new perspective, the result of information culled from letters, wills, and other previously unpublished documents. The author offers new interpretations of some works, among them Charles Willson Peale's portrait of the Baltimore couple Benjamin and Eleanor Ridgely Laming. The volume is richly illustrated, with carefully selected comparative illustrations.
