Book Description
Over the past century, if the wealthiest families had spent a reasonable fraction of their wealth, paid taxes, invested in the stock market, and passed their wealth down to the next generation, there would be tens of thousands of billionaire heirs to generations-old fortunes today. The puzzle of The Missing Billionaires is why you cannot find one such billionaire on any current rich list. There are a number of explanations, but this book is focused on one mistake which is of profound importance to all investors: poor risk decisions, both in investing and spending. Many of these families didn’t choose bad investments– they sized them incorrectly– and allowed their spending decisions to amplify this mistake. The Missing Billionaires book offers a simple yet powerful framework for making important lifetime financial decisions in a systematic and rational way. It's for readers with a baseline level of financial literacy, but doesn’t require a PhD. It fills the gap between personal finance books and the academic literature, bringing the valuable insights of academic finance to non-specialists. Part One builds the theory of optimal investment sizing from first principles, starting with betting on biased coins. Part Two covers lifetime financial decision-making, with emphasis on the integration of investment, saving and spending decisions. Part Three covers practical implementation details, including how to calibrate your personal level of risk-aversion, and how to estimate the expected return and risk on a broad spectrum of investments. The book is packed with case studies and anecdotes, including one about Victor’s investment with LTCM as a partner, and a bonus chapter on Liar’s Poker. The authors draw extensively on their own experiences as principals of Elm Wealth, a multi-billion-dollar wealth management practice, and prior to that on their years as arbitrage traders– Victor at Salomon Brothers and LTCM, and James at Nationsbank/CRT and Citadel. Whether you are young and building wealth, an entrepreneur invested heavily in your own business, or at a stage where your primary focus is investing and spending, The Missing Billionaires: A Guide to Better Financial Decisions is your must-have resource for thoughtful financial decision-making.

Book Description
The Tall Man with the Golden hair glided to the Desk and leaned on the edge of it, Arms folded, his eyes never leaving his Guest. "Mr. Smiley, I cannot give you any Details, but it is my Opinion that an Event is about to Happen, that will Demand All of the World's Free Nations to Band Together." Tavis Smiley Blurted Out, "are you talking of War, here, Sir? Is Europe about to be Attacked? What are you saying?" "No, there will not be War. Not just yet. However, such a Military Holocaust is Possible within a Few Months in the Middle East. I am not sure myself, Tavis, of the Actual Event that is about to Transpire. I Only know that because of it, your United States of America will be Forced into a Treaty, but Military. We will be BOUND TOGETHER FOREVER, my Friend." Tavis Smiley moved to get up. " Well, of course, we are Allies with our NATO Friends. We always Stand at their side to..." The Transformation in Jacque Bush was sudden. His Blue eyes Flashed Fire. " Tavis, you do not understand. Please just listen! What I am saying to you is that the Governments of Europe and your own United States will very soon be Forced to Merge into One Vast Western Entity. ONE GOVERNMENT. ONE ARMY. ONE MONEY SYSTEM. ONE LEADER. The two Entities will be known as EUROAMERICA. And when that Happens, Mr. Smiley...And it's Going to Happen no Later than the End of the Year 2016, just months from now...I shall need your Assistance most Assuredly." Tavis Smiley was now more angry than Frightened. " Sir, I do not Discount your Knowledge, nor do I Violate your Hospitality here. But such a Thing as you have Stated cannot Happen. It will not 'Happen'. The United States would Never agree to such an Amalgamation of Nations or…." The Fire in Jacque Bush's eyes had Disappeared. They turned to a Hateful, Baleful, Dead Blue. " Believe me, Mr. Smiley. Believe me that it will Happen. I Repeat... by Year's End. EUROAMERICA will be Formed, and it will Last for 1,000 years or More." I truly think the Holy Bible is overrated, yeah people say it is the bestselling book in the world. I respectfully refused to believe that, they just never heard yet about the new author Orion, and The Missing Billions book. Blessed love, Dark Matter at work HOTEP.

Book Description
Industry insider, veteran executive, and working mom Hilarie Gamm pulls the curtain back on the destruction of the American technology industry in her groundbreaking work, Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and the Road Map to Change. Gamm connects the dots between seemingly disparate events and facts, and outlines with stunning clarity the perfect storm that created a massive exodus of tech industry jobs from the U.S. Extensively researched and firmly apolitical, Billions Lost explains how the offshoring of millions of U.S. technology jobs opened a gateway that places our economy, our national security, and our educational systems at risk. Gamm succinctly explains the Y2K scare, visa reform, and other factors that snowballed into today's crisis, and identifies the ramifications of outsourcing on our country and its profound impact on America's middle class. To spark a national conversation, Gamm closes with her Road Map to Change: 20 actions that can reverse the trend, improve education, save the middle class, and return growth, security, and prosperity to America.
