Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros – Paperback
Mark Tier
Warren Buffett and George Soros both started with nothing - and made billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing. But their careers seem as opposite as night and day. Buffett buys bargain-priced stocks and businesses for cash - and likes to own them "forever". Soros is renowned for his highly leveraged, quick-footed bets in the currency markets.
Buffett and Soros both practice exactly the same mental habits and strategies - the same attitudes that guided Peter Lynch, Sir John Templeton, Bernard Barauch, Benjamin Graham and all the other successful investors and traders Tier has studied and worked with. Without exception.
In this book you'll find how investment success - or disappointment - flows from your mental habits and mental strategies. So if you haven't been getting the results you want, you're probably not practising The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros. What's more, every one of these habits is something you can easily learn yourself.
Discover how the mental habits that guided your last investment decision stack up against those of Buffett and Soros. Then learn exactly what you need to do to adopt their winning investment habits - and transform your own investment performance.
Lost Property – The Crash of 1987 … and the aftershock
Olly Newland
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana
The crash of 1987 still reverberates in the psyche of many investors. Those turbulent days influence investment decisions and actions today, but not everybody fully understands their impact.
It wasn't just the sharemarket that was affected - the crisis in business and lender confidence pulled the booming property market off its tracks. Mortgagee auctions and forced sales, bankruptcies and prosecutions followed as many formerly respected business figures fell from grace - breaking the faith of investors all over the world.
Lost Property is a searingly honest insider's account of the build-up and the let-down, with its brutal aftermath. Read this book to learn what happened during the boom and the crash, how they came about and why. Olly Newland's first-hand narrative is full of insights and parallels which today's investor would be wise to consider. Ignore these lessons at your peril!
More Details
From the book jacket:
"Many people remember with a shudder the massive stockmarket crash around the world in 1987. In New Zealand, as in many countries, it came on the back of an unprecedented share and property boom when huge sums of money could be made for the asking.
One of the stars of the New Zealand scene was Olly Newland, founder of Landmark and wheeler-dealer supreme. Banks queued at his door to lend him money, the media for advice and comment, and he was in demand as a speaker to investor groups.
Then, beginning in New York, the market suddenly crashed.
Here, Olly Newland gives an insider's view of the build-up and the let-down -- and lays the blame firmly at the doors of the banks and the government.
Readers may never trust either again.
In this special edition, released for the 20th anniversary of the 1987 crash, Olly Newland reflects on how much - and how little - has changed since then. He shares valuable insights into the crash, drawing lessons from his own and others' experiences in those frenetic days.
Lost Property offers practical, timeless advice about building wealth and ongoing income from investment."

From the publishers:
"This is possibly the best time in over 30 years to get back into property and now, more than ever, you need to know what you're doing!"
Businessman and television presenter Gary McCausland presents an insider's guide to surviving the credit crunch, and making money from property even in this seemingly impossible market...
More Details
Wouldn't it be great if you could go into property developing knowing the pitfalls in advance and avoid the common errors made by most first time property developers. Gary's television work continually proves to him how little the wider public actually know about his trade - despite its high profile - and he is fed up of seeing solicitors, agents and builders pull the wool over people's eyes. This passionate and opinionated guide will help first timers avoid costly mistakes by arming them with insider advice and knowledge. Turning the property sections in the bookshops upside down, How to Make Money From Property is upfront, candid, jargon-free and utterly devoid of bull - packed with the concrete facts from which readers can learn exactly how the best deals are brokered and broken.
