Investing Success
How to Conquer 30 Costly Errors & Multiply Your Wealth
By Lynnette Khalfani

For the past few years, investors have blamed practically everyone for their financial losses—greedy corporate executives, Wall Street analysts, stockbrokers, accountants, and the media. But an insightful new book by Lynnette Khalfani, former Wall Street Journal reporter for CNBC, challenges investors to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves whether they’ve also fallen victim to their own investing errors.

Investing Success: How To Conquer 30 Costly Mistakes & Multiply Your Wealth! begins with a foreword by Charles Schwab, and incorporates lessons from market legends such as billionaire Warren Buffett. The how-to investment guide also includes wisdom from dozens of financial experts, and personal accounts from every-day investors who candidly discuss their own investing miscalculations and what they learned from them.

The book identifies 30 common investing pitfalls and each chapter ends with a “$ummary $uccess $trategy” that highlights specific steps to avoid or fix the financial mistake covered in that chapter. Investing Success is the first in a series. Author Lynnette Khalfani is now writing Investing Success For Women.

The Liberty Dollar Solution to the Federal Reserve 1998-2003
Edited By Bernard von NotHaus

Liberty Dollar SOLUTION to the Federal Reserve was written to commemorate five successful years of the Liberty Dollar and to detail the economic, political, and moral foundations on which the Liberty Dollar currency is based. 

In addition to Bernard von NotHaus, founder and monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar, eighteen contributors added material to the book, including 6 PhD economists, 2 lawyers, a U.S. Congressman, and a physician.

Bernard von NotHaus recently retired after 25 years as the Mintmaster at the Royal Hawaiian Mint where he specialized in Hawaiian numismatics and created financial instruments for local, national, and international clients.  His Hawaiian work is cataloged in many articles and books, including Hawaiian Money by David Medcalf, Unusual World Coins by Colin Bruce II, and the Platinum Buyers Handbook. 

Dating from 1974, when von NotHaus wrote "To Know Value - Economic Research Paper", he has studied economics and monetary history.  Von NotHaus is well known in the numismatic community as an original thinker who relishes the type of complex problems he encountered while designing and developing the Liberty Dollar.  Since 1998, he has been the Monetary Architect at NORFED, a non-profit, free enterprise corporation that distributes the Liberty Dollar.

Predicting the UnpredictableHow Neural Networks Enhance Predictability and Performance in Portfolio Management
By Thomas Berghage & George Olander

Description: Thomas Berghage has beaten the S&P 500 17 years and running. According to this eye-opening book, the key to his success is artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics. In Predicting the Unpredictable, Mr. Berghage and Dr. George Olander look at the flaws and limitations of contemporary securities analysis and the ways in which the human element inevitably hinders investment. Computers, with their ability to analyze infinitely more variables at once than a human possibly can handle, have the power to take the guesswork out of finance and save us all from the ambiguities of behavioral finance. The authors reveal Mr. Berghage’s computer-based system in hopes of revitalizing investment and restoring investor confidence.

"I urge those who are concerned with the future, knowing it and shaping it, to read Predicting the Unpredictable." -Arthur Lipper, Chairman, Royalty Entitlement Exchange (S) Ltd.

Back in the 1960s, the rock and roll generation led a cultural revolution—and we’re about to do it again. This next revolution will upend stereotypes on aging and create a whole new paradigm for life after 50. 

• The rock and roll generation is different from any other. Unlike the previous generation, whose memories of the Great Depression and World War II left them worried about the future, we’ve always been creative, optimistic, unafraid of change, and young at heart. We believe the best is yet to come.
• The term "senior" belongs to our parents' and grandparents' generation. We’re the rock and roll generation—always have been, always will be. When we’re 100 years old, we’ll still be the rock and roll generation! We’ll never consider ourselves “seniors,” no matter how old we get.
• We’ll attack our 50s, 60s, and 70s much differently than our parents did. Thanks to advancements in technology, medicine, nutrition, and other key areas, we feel younger physically and mentally, and we won’t slow down anytime soon.
• We’re living a lifestyle we love and we don’t want it to end. Rather than “retiring” to inactivity, we feel like kids out of high school—every choice, career, and opportunity is ours for the taking, and this time we have wisdom, insight, intuition, and money!
• Attaining financial freedom is more important than ever. With so much to look forward to, we don’t want to run out of money before we run out of time.

If you believe that getting older means struggling to live within your means, falling apart at the seams, and giving up on your dreams, this is not the book for you. But if you want to make life after 50 your best years yet—if you’re looking for new ideas, new concepts, and new adventures—then get ready to rock and roll! This book will change the way America looks at aging, now and forever.
