Nothing new.......2006-06-28
I didn't really gain anything from this book. Maybe because I read other books on financial planning already. The charts are boring and confusing. The one star is for the chapter on estate planning. That is the largest and most useful chapter in the book. If you're interested in this, then you should read this book, but for one chapter...eh, get it from the library.
Amazon has wrong author on review page 4/8/06.......2006-04-08
First, Amazon on its review page is wrong. The book is by Ron Blue. The forward to the book is by Swindoll.
The book is easy to follow with easy how-to worksheets/tables to apply to your own situation.
Master Your Money.......2006-02-25
I liked this book because it helps me to understand in laymans terms what I really need to do in order to save money. I've tried several of the ideas mentioned in the book with POSITIVE results.

Book Description
John Train's The Money Masters is one of the most widely read investment books in history. In The New Money Masters, Train describes the technique of today's investment wizards, from Peter Lynch to George Soros. Revealed are the advantages of over-the-counter issues, the best ways to invest in foreign stocks and in newly industrialization countries, how the masters determine when the market is too high or too low, and how to lay out the key facts about a company in order to understand it most easily.

Good but nothing mind blowing.......2002-02-27
If you want to read a concise book about the investment styles and philosophies of recent great investors this book might be the one for you. Any student considering asset management as a career should read this one as well as The Money Masters, its predecessor.
I would encourage everyone to understand the difference from this book and its predecessor. This book is primarily focused on investors that became household names in the 1980s such as: Jim Rogers, Michael Steinhardt, Philip Caret, George Soros, George Michaelis, John Neff, Ralph Wanger, and Peter Lynch.
The prior book, The Money Masters, deals with Golden Age investors who, for the most part, attained their reputations prior to the crash of 1973 and 1974.
Both of Train's books are in the form of interviews he has with them. Train's writing is crisp and entertaining, and his interviews uncover many pearls of wisdom applicable to any investor's philosophy.
The biggest brand name interviewed here, for most, is Peter Lynch who ran Fidelity's flagship Magellan fund. Lynch pioneered a consumer approach to the investing process and invested using a hybrid of the growth and value style that has come to be known within the industry as GARP, standing for Growth At A Reasonable Price. Both Soros and Rogers have fairly interesting ideas about the nature of investing and the sentiment behind it. Both of them worked at Soros' Quantum Fund, which was the largest and most successful hedge fund for decades and left both of them extremely rich.
If anyone is interested in books on the people behind the financial industry read Money Masters, New Money Masters, Predators Ball, Money Culture, Den of Theives and F.I.A.S.C.O. 25 Investment Classics and Goldman Sachs: the Culture of Success are other notable books. I gave the book 4 stars because, while it was very concise and well written I didn't find any information within the book that was of great help to me. It was entertaining and informative but not ground breaking or made me say "AH HAH" or have that light bulb go off in my head.
winning investment strategies ? start with blood and sweat.......2001-02-04
sorry if you expected a how-to in 25 words or less; the guys highlighted within could think- arriving at creative solutions, work obsessively or at least- with discipline [ check out Rogers' work sheet in the appendix..], and were rock solid in their convictions .....
good to see efforts like these highlighted in the newest go-go era, in which for a lucky few- monster payoffs, quickly, were more common than lottery winnings. [ I know more than a couple who've gone from 15 to 500 in a virtual heartbeat, sometimes with no more conviction than : 'Sure, why not!! ' That's not how these people scored. Nor how most of us ever will.]
Regarding, Train- I'd be inclined to buy a book of his blindly; can't imagine him disappointing.
Dont expect much, or simply dont expect at all.......2001-01-13
I read The New Money Masters after the Market Wizards and the New Market Wizards. When I saw "winning investment strategies of: Soros, Lynch, Rogers, etc etc on the front cover, I immediately bought it. Like any trader who jumps into the market without a plan or thorough study, I lost this trade. Train tried to portrait what's in those masters' minds but he failed. Even worse, his writing skill had been too bad for me to finish reading the whole book. Well, how am I supposed to expect something great from a 379 page book that carries 147 pages of appendix?
Excellent Follow-up to The Money Masters.......1999-01-02
The New Money Masters by John Train is the successor to his first book and is just as informative. Investors covered include the following: Jim Rogers, Michael Steinhardt, Philip Caret, George Soros, George Michaelis, John Neff, Ralph Wanger, and Peter Lynch. Outstanding investing is the result of a disciplined mental process. It is time well spent to learn how these investors think.
Intriguing and Simple.......1998-07-20
The New Money Masters provides interesting and insightful backgrounds of the most well renowned investors on Wall Street. Describing their tried and tested techniques and methodologies, you are left to appreciate a multitude of differing opinions and options to consider for your own investment opportunities. Each 'Master' has been illustrated in a chapter, with additional statements and transaction records included in the appendix. Overall, 'The New Money Masters' is a piece of literature that will be a pleasant and invaluable read for any investor, experienced or basic.

Kazanjian writes his own reviews.......2006-09-09
As with his other books, the ridiculous positive reviews of this book are all fake, poorly written by the poor writer himself. I love the fake Chinese guy and the fake Chinglish. The reviews cheat the customer just like Kazanjian's books cheat the customer.
You can find precious information nowhere else but in this book.......2005-08-27
This book used question and answer format to record interview with top fund managers. It helped me enormously with selecting the mutual fund managers and provided me confidence on the funds that I selected, because I can tell from their answers whether their super performance can be sustainable or just due to pure luck. The interview questions are well designed and such question and answer format is very precise and hit the points, efficiently conveying essential information to the reader. I can negative easily to the questions and answers that I most interested in. As an average mutual fund investor, who would want to read another textbook-like stock picking book full of charts and numbers?
The top fund managers are very busy person and they probably won't write books about their stock picking methods and philosophy until they retire (like Peter Lynch), so I appreciate they can accept interview with the authors. Therefore, the information covered in this book are very valuable and not otherwise available.
This book filled the blank in selecting mutual funds and managers. However, as one drawback, many questions and answers are very time-sensitive. I can tell that the book was compiled and written in a very short time. I doubt the book would still be popular in a couple of years. In addition, the book didn't cover income fund managers.
Puts All The Strategies In One Book.......2005-08-12
I found this book to be an excellent overview of how top managers make money across a variety of investment strategies. The author does a great job of getting some of the world's leading managers to reveal exactly how they pick stocks and bonds and outperform the market over time. I discovered many useful tips that I will be able to put to work right away. Highly recommended for all serious investors.
Most Promising Title..............2005-07-19
The book certainly has a great title. Unfortunately, that's all it has. The book is written in the form of a question-answer script of interviews of various famous money managers/fund managers. No specific strategy is ever discussed by any of the managers interviewed, though themes like diversification, having a defined strategy, etc. is reinforced. The book also contains a fairly superficial summary of the the conversations - all alluding to points which any average investor would be more than aware of. The book is certainly novel in its decision to be essentially a transcript. Unfortunately, nothing in the book actually answers the grandious title of the book. Avoidable.
Customer Reviews:
The New Money Masters by John Train.......2003-11-14
This is an excellent work on the development of time-tested
strategies to invest. For instance, analysts watch for
a levelling of the market (near the top); whereby, companies
hire large staffs and raise money in the markets. Astute
investors watch for over-valuations. Industry bottoms are
critical to identify. Sometimes industries vanish or they
improve with added investment-private or government.
Smart investors identify stocks with increased earnings.
Occasionally, an OTC stock will have a good balance sheet
with no term debt. Look for a current ratio of better than 2:1.
In the late 1980s, the Japanese market was overpriced.
The authors advise against investing in complicated derivative
instruments because these activities may detract from
monitoring the fundamentals in downturns or upticks.
The authors provide specific investment firms experienced in
the art of performance monitoring. i.e. Cambridge Associates,
Warburg and Charter Oak (hedge fund). The book is a worthy
investment if you intend to monitor the personal portfolio
of stocks and funds.

Book Description
Topicality of Asian economy has refused to fade for almost four decades; if anything it has been levitating. The Asian economy has changed markedly since the economic and financial crisis of 1997-1998 and is continuing to evolve. As a scholarly subject matter, Asian economy has not stopped attracting academicians, policy mandarins, decision makers in the arena of business and students of Asian economy. The Asian crisis was a cataclysmic event for the region and brought to the surface several systemic limitations, like those in the financial sector, corporate governance, regulatory oversight, legal framework, and exchange rate management. Managers of Asian economy need to get to the bottom of these acutely problematical systemic issues. Additionally, Asian economies need to change with the demands of time and devise their post crisis development strategy. Asia’s growth model, that served it so well for four decades, is overdue for renewal so that it can re-strengthen its bonds with the ever-evolving regional and global economic reality. The old growth model is likely to be less relevant and effective in the post-crisis future of the Asian economies. It is sure to run into the wall of diminishing returns.
An outstanding feature of Asian Economy and Finance: A Post-Crisis Perspective is that unlike most Asia-related books, it is written in a comprehensive and authoritative manner and covers large areas of Asian macro-economy and finance. The noteworthy areas of focus include global and intra-regional trade and investment, as well as financial and monetary aspects. In-depth discussions have been provided on regional integration through expanding trade, financial flows, regional production networks, and financial and monetary co-operation. In taking a contemporary or post-crisis view of the Asian economy, this book offers the newest knowledge related to relevant themes on the Asian economies as well as the latest concepts. In a succinct manner, this book deals with the principal normative and positive strands with which one need to be properly familiar in this subject area. This tightly written volume covers a great deal of ground and imparts knowledge on the Asian economy related themes to students, researchers and policy makers alike.
The book is neither overly technical nor model-oriented. It is easy to access for the target readership because of its descriptive analysis style, which stops short of mathematical formulations and econometric modeling. Many students and other readers who have good analytical minds and sound knowledge of economic principles feel lost in mathematical formulations. This writing style makes it accessible to a much larger number of readers.
