Investing In A Global Marketplace
As the global marketplace blossoms into a reality, investors need to understand its perils and pitfalls. Is Asia becoming an economic powerhouse, or merely a paper tiger? How do quickly growing countries trap investors into poor returns? Jeremy Siegel gives an overview of what lies ahead for international investors as the borderless economy begins to emerge.

Stocks for the Long Run

The presentation outlines a step-by-step method for assembling a solid portfolio that enhances returns and reduces risk while avoiding many of the pitfalls that effect average investor's performance. Combining valuable new information and thought-provoking research with lucid and entertaining prose, Professor Jeremy Siegel shows investors and savers of every age and income class how to build wealth the safe, secure, and historically proven way -- in the stock market.

What are Stocks Really Worth?
How should we value stocks in today's market? What level of PE can current companies justify? Siegel examines warranted price-to-earnings ratios by looking back at the original Nifty-Fifty.

What Goes Down, Will Come Back Up: What's Ahead for the Markets Now?
Prof. Siegel diagnoses the causes of the current crisis and the prospects for recovery. He shares his incredible insights on today’s latest financial news and what is ahead for not only Wall Street, but for investors and business.

The Future for Investors
The Future for Investors is the new paradigm for investing and building wealth in the 21st century. It reveals new strategies that take advantage of the dramatic changes and opportunities that will appear in world markets. Siegel has taken a long, hard, and in depth look at the market and the stocks that investors should acquire to build long-term wealth. His surprising finding is that the new technologies, expanding industries, and fast-growing countries that stockholders relentlessly seek in the market often leads to poor returns. In fact, growth itself can be an investment trap, luring investors into overpriced stocks and overly competitive industries.
