Using economic history as a guide, Schiff looks at the bear markets that followed the bull markets of the 1920s and 1960s to predict what the American economy will look like after it corrects for the tech and real estate bubbles of the 1990s and early 2000s. Combining financial, economic, and political perspectives, Schiff looks at what worked in those earlier bear markets and predicts what strategies are most likely to work over the next ten years. In the end, Schiff argues that the next decade will most closely resemble the 1970s, complete with inflation, rising interest rates, and soaring commodity prices. This reversal of trends will make past investment strategies obsolete and pose a challenge for investors trying to build and protect their wealth. Smart investing will always pay off; the key lies in using the best strategies for the market at hand. For investors who see the writing on the wall but don't know what to do about it, The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets offers a timely, critical answer.

All value investors will be 'contrarian' in outlook, going against the herd, avoiding rising stocks and investigating falling prices for the best buys. A search for value is a search for currently neglected stocks--businesses that can generate far better shareholder returns than the market price suggests.

The moat concept is not a new one. It was made famous by Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. But, it has been a long time since anyone has revisited the concept and applied rigorous financial analysis to the concept. In The Little Book That Builds Wealth Pat Dorsey explains exactly how to measure a moat and how to profit very well from the analysis. This is not straight value investing and it is not straight growth investing. It is buying high quality, growing companies, with a nice niche, at a good price.

Morningstar's stock rating system is based on a fundamental and disciplined approach to selecting companies. The system is not strictly a value approach nor is it strictly a growth approach. The goal is to select excellent companies with a strong "moat" that feature good growth fundamentals mixed with a fair price. Sounds like a pretty selective approach? Well, yes it is. But, it is also what makes the system so powerful and so successful.

Morningstar's stock rating system is the basis for their Stock Investor newsletter and their flagship rating service--featured in the annual book, Stocks 500. This star system has had exceptional results. Since its inception, the Morningstar "5 Star" rated stocks have nearly doubled the return of the S&P.

About the author: Pat Dorsey (Chicago, IL) is director of stock analysis for Morningstar, Inc., a leading provider of independent investment research in the United States and major international markets. Morningstar offers an extensive line of Internet, software, and print-based products for individuals, financial advisors, and institutions.
