From the Inside Flap

Traditional income-generating investments are producing historically low returns. Banks, money market funds, and bonds are still paying rats well below the expected increase in the cost of living. If you intend on living a financially secure life, you need to generate exceptional cash flow with a portfolio of income-generating investments that will appreciate over time to produce life-changing wealth.

Today, there are potential investment opportunities in virtually every sector of the market, and with the broad issuance of new income derivatives over the last ten years, investors can literally have their cake (double digit income) and eat it too (capital appreciation)-if they structure their portfolios properly.

With more than two decades of real-world money management experience, author Bryan Perry knows what it takes to gain above-average returns in a competitive investment environment. And now, with The 25% Cash Machine, he wants to show you how.

The 25% Cash Machine details a diversified, flexible, and highly liquid investments strategy that's ideal for anyone-from relatively new investors who are still working to recent retirees-seeking to wok are still working to recent retirees-seeking to generate around 10% income and at least 15% in capital gains annually. So if you're willing to take on a minimal amount of risk in order to achieve yields that are twice as high as most other income investments, then The 25% Cash Machine is the Book for you.

Divided into four comprehensive parts, this practical guide shows you how to construct a portfolio-through several freely traded asset classes-that is weighted in sectors of the economy that benefit from rising prices during high inflation/low return periods. Step by step, you'll learn how to manage this portfolio so that it pays out an annual return of 25% for cash accounts.

Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, The 25% Cash Machine provides you with a proven investment approach that allows you to generate a solid stream of dividends on your money each month-all while our capital continues to appreciate. By following the tenets and principles of double digit investing found within this book, and by constructing your own 25% Cash Machine, you'll achieve the high-yield income and long-term growth that every investor dreams of.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thin Book with Thin Ideas and No Attention to Risk, March 26, 2007

By	William J. Comcowich (Stratford, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 25% Cash Machine: Double Digit Income Investing (Hardcover)

In The 25% Cash Machine, Bryan Perry of Changewave Investing, focuses on investing high yield equities. It's not 25% annual yield, mind you. The investments he recommends yield about 10% per year and he says you can then also get 15% annual capital appreciation for those investments.
The primary investments he recommends are: business development companies (BDCs), Canadian business trusts, Canadian energy trusts, closed-end funds, convertible securities, master limited partnerships (mostly pipelines), oil/shipping/tanker stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Only in passing does he mention (just a couple of sentences really) the high risk in high yield investments. Any equity which can appreciate 15% in one year can also lose 25% of its value quite quickly - as the Canadian energy trusts did recently. Never does he consider the main goal of most income investors - preservation of capital. Never does he present evidence (backtesting, anyone) of the validity of his claim to 15% annual long-term capital appreciation from the equities he recommends.
The style of the book is unrelentingly promotional. The book reads more like an e-mail promotion for Changewave Investing than a legitimate attempt to educate investors. In fact, the book mentions his Changewave advisory service innumerable times.
Finally, the book contains more typographical errors than any book I've read in the past five years. Shame on the publisher John Wiley & Sons.
Bottom line: It's a thin book, thin on ideas, with substantial hype and little regard for risk, written more to promote Changewave advisory services than to educate the reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some excellent advice plus infomercial, February 11, 2007

By	William Karnaze "Bill K" (Kansas City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: The 25% Cash Machine: Double Digit Income Investing (Hardcover)

The author gives an excellent categorized list of double digit dividend payers and explains very well what each of them does. Unfortunately, the risk associated with this style is probably understimated. For example, one entity mentioned in the book (NEW) has dropped 30% in the last 2 days. Although just buying and holding a diversified batch of the recommended entities is likely to outperform the market, the author introduces some dubious "dynamic sector rotation" that is unlikely to work and will probably underperform buy and hold. Worse, the author reveals that you and I probably can't do this rotation on our own, and the book then degenerates into an infomercial on his touting service, which belongs to the "Changewave Investing Group." I checked out the Changewave investment newsletter using the June 2006 Hulbert Financial Digest and discovered that it had underperformed the total stock market since its inception 7/31/02, so it's unlikely that good advice on sector rotation is coming from them. I would've given the book a higher rating if it hadn't been for the awful title and the infomercial.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Your Research Before Using!!!, March 8, 2007

By	C. Hagen (Nevada, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 25% Cash Machine: Double Digit Income Investing (Hardcover)

This book is only a few months old. I went back and built a spreadsheet of all 100 stocks that were on the author's list. About 90% of the stocks had gone down significantly in the last few months, some by 80%!! There are some fairly decent descriptions of dividends, how they work and about the concept of having enough earnings to cover dividends, etc. But that is the only good thing I can say about it.
