Dance Of The Money Bees: A Professional Speaks Frankly On Investing: Revised Edition (210 pages, $19.95 paper, 2000, ISBN 0870341456), by John Train, published by Fraser Publishing. "Only through deep understanding and superior tactics can the investor hope to preserve even part of what he has earned, and it gets harder every year... In preserving capital the right attitude is indispensable. You must be passive in deciding to buy, but aggressive in searching out the values and in digging all the way down to the rock of reality... The safe time to invest is when people are discouraged or desperate, and the safe thing to buy is what isn't wanted."

The answer is listed index securities -- and this is the first book to tell you what you need to know about these little-known tools of the pros. From QQQ and DIA to SPDRs and WEBS, this book will show you index security strategies, techniques on shorting the indices, how WEBS will add global diversification to your portfolio, a course in investing fundamentals, and more.

John Bogle On Investing: The First 50 Years (455 pages, $29.95 hardcover, 2001, ISBN 0071364382), by John Bogle, with a foreword by Paul A. Volcker, published by McGraw-Hill. Barely out of his teens, but already firm in his conviction that mutual fund shareholders were not getting a fair shake, John Bogle turned in an exhaustively researched thesis entitled The Economic Role Of The Investment Company. That thesis -- ground-breaking, innovative, and reprinted word-for-word for the first time -- changed the future course of investing. This book presents 25 speeches and one masterful thesis by the man who has been called "the conscience of the mutual fund industry." They all revolve around one theme: Efficient, economical alternatives must be made to all investors.

With the recent explosion in the popularity of trading, nearly everyone who trades wants a trading system -- a methodology for buying and selling. A trading system can be a useful tool -- provided the trader knows how to use it. Demonstrating a system is only as reliable as the criteria on which it is based, the authors provide traders with the tools to develop systems based on sound logic. The principles behind trading systems, how various systems operate, the tools and background necessary for developing computerized trading systems, and more are presented. John R. Hill is president and founder of Futures Truth.
