Synopsis

We have all heard the phrase "History repeats itself!" Yet, very few people seriously apply long-term history to the art and science of investing. Ken Winans pioneered the development of important financial indices, dating back to the 1800s, which has allowed him to make timely market forecasts in a variety of economic conditions since 1991. This artistic, colorful reference book gives investors useful information about the performance and characteristics of stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate and collectibles since the 1800s. Past bull and bear markets are examined within the various investment groups to show how they differ, as are the tools investors can use to navigate the changes in long-term trends. Finally, the book reviews the surprising reactions of investors to triumphant and catastrophic historical events that have confronted mankind throughout the ages such as wars, monumental peacetime achievements, natural and manmade disasters, and government actions (i.e., interest rate, taxes and regulation) in reaction to these situations. Similar to how a traveler uses a road atlas to learn about their destination and prevent the embarrassing and costly act of getting lost, Investment Atlas II will aid the investor to be a profitable user of investment history, not a future victim of it.
