Divorcing the Dow: Using Revolutionary Market Indicators to Profit from the Stealth Boom Ahead

To the person who said there was an error on page 162: the authors were describing an example of how a mutual fund manager could manipulate numbers in order to play the "past performance game." The authors state that the average ANNUAL return is 25%, which is correct. This was simply an example of a fund's manager skewing numbers to make a fund more attractive.

Divorcing the Dow provided a provoking examination of how we have historically defined the financial "markets". This book challenges the reader to re-define how we have used outdated measurements to forcast future market conditions. The authors have presented a new and fresh approach to evaluating the next financial revolution! After a 3 year bear market, I feel more optimistic than ever before!

Finally a positive outlook.The authors'extensive research and easy read format makes it hard to put down. Divorcing The Dow constitutes information from the past that can be used as a road map for future investing. The research alone is worth the price of the book. Thank you for such a great book in these uncertain times.

After watching a goodly portion of my portfolio melt away over the past few years, I was not only sleepless with anxiety but also furious at my financial advisor and at the financial community and corporate America in general. When I found and read this remarkable book, "Divorcing the Dow," I understood WHY the majority of the so-called financial "experts" were and continue to be so completely off-base, living in and advising on outmoded investment vehicles, as their clients' hard-earniend dollars go swirling down the drain! I likewise saw clearly how to intelligently and safely invest my remaining discretionary funds for maximum results in terms of my future goals. I cannot underestimate my sense of relief and also my gratitude for this lifechanging book. The authors have done a prodigious amount of research. More than that, their brilliant conclusions appear to be sound and right on target. This is a one-in-a million book that should be a must-read for anyone who wants to see their savings grow the most effective way possibie. It is also, to my mind, a must-read for every single individual in the financial community. To NOT read this book is to remain in the dark ages of investing, and to lose out on the opportunity to profit enormously from the new investment culture that is right in place sight but invisible to those stuck in the status quo. I read constantly, and I can tell you that this book is the absolute best of the bunch - the real thing. This review is from my heart - I know how I have suffered, watching my money - including money I inherited from my parents -just evaporate. Read "Divrocing the Dow" more than once. Give it to everyone you know. I did. I have also sent a copy to my financial advisor...and if he doesn't "get it" I am picking up my portfolio and moving on.
