The new paradigm for investing and building wealth in the twenty-first century. The Future for Investors reveals new strategies that take advantage of the dramatic changes and opportunities that will appear in world markets.
Jeremy Siegel, one of the world’s top investing experts, 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 lead to poor returns. In fact, growth itself can be an investment trap, luring investors into overpriced stocks and overly competitive industries.
The Future for Investors shatters conventional wisdom and provides a framework for picking stocks that will be long-term winners. While technological innovation spurs economic growth, it has not been kind to investors. Instead, companies that have marketed tried-and-true products for decades in slow-growth or even declining industries have superior returns to firms that develop “the bold and the new.” Industry sectors many regard as dinosaurs—railroads and oil companies, for example—have actually beat the market.
Professor Siegel presents these strategies within the context of the coming shift in global economic power and the demographic age wave that will sweep the United States, Europe, and Japan. Contrary to the popular belief that these economic and demographic trends doom investors to poor returns, Professor Siegel explains the True New Economy and how to take advantage of the coming surge in invention, discovery, and economic growth.
The faster the world changes, the more important it is for investors to heed the lessons of the past and find the tried-and-true companies that can help you beat the market and prosper in the years ahead.

      Siegel provides a detailed discussion of investing for the long run, 30 years or more. He explains dividends, bonds, financial gains and losses while citing historical evidence from his analysis of the stock market, or more specifically the Dow, from 1957 to the present. Stephen Hoye takes this potentially dry topic and adds some spice, reading slowly enough that the details are retained by the listener. Siegel's explanations of the impact Baby Boomers' retirement will have on the market, his main focus, is fascinating; however, his book is not for people just starting to invest. Demographics, history, and informed investing are the key topics, and Hoye reads each word with determination and clarity. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

      A professor at the Wharton School and author of STOCKS FOR THE LONG RUN argues persuasively that tried-and-true companies in the aggregate perform better over time than growth stocks, especially those in the technology sector. He is a buy-and-hold kind of guy who predicts that an unprecedented wave of discovery and innovation will fuel economic growth in the U.S. and provide superior returns for investors who are patient. He looks at a broad array of trends and influences occurring across the globe, including demographics and shifts in labor, manufacturing capacity, and capital. His explanations of his research methods are lucid, fresh, and personal. James Lurie's reading is capable but monochromatic, even for a financial audio. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
