A Wonderful Update of This Classic for the Internet!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2000

This third edition of Scrooge Investing, titled The New Scrooge Investing, is a great update of a very valuable resource that I have been using for years. I was delighted to see that all of the things that I look for in other investing books (like to to get free investment advice, reliable hot stock tips, free trades, and cut taxes) are all covered in detail in this book.
Mark Skousen has a great sense of humor, and you'll love his references to Uncle Scrooge, the Disney character (his inspiration for this book). In fact, I have the same collectible set of Uncle Scrooge materials that he refers to in this book.
I feel like I am a knowledgeable investor, but I found new ideas worth tens of thousands of dollars to me in the next year in the 150 tips in this book. You will certainly be repaid for your investment in the book and the time you spend with it.
I have been a subscriber to Forecasts and Strategies for many years, and found that this book is a wonderful summary of the advice I have been paying for over that time. I suspect that I can cancel my subscription now and save even more money!
Here are a few areas where you can quiz yourself:
(1) How should you choose a discount broker?
(2) Why is a discount broker often a poor idea when you buy bonds?
(3) Why should you be looking at closed-end country mutual funds?
(4) How can you use the recent rise in interest rates to increase your income and your capital gains?
(5) How can you get into hot IPOs with discount on-line brokers?
(6) What are the best ways to buy rare art?
(7) How should you sell items on on-line auctions?
(8) How can you acquire foreign currency inexpensively?
(9) How should you approach day-trading on-line?
If any of these questions are ones that interest you, be sure to check this book out.
