(He has been writing Forecasts & Strategies since 1980, when President Reagan was elected.) Maxims of Wall Street is destined to be a classic reference that you will read with delight for years to come, and an ideal gift to investors, stockbrokers and money managers.

Morgan ( Troubled waters make for good fishing ) ...Humphrey Neill ( The public is right during the trends but wrong at both ends ) ...Richard Russell ( In a bear market, the winner is he who loses the least ) ...and Steve Forbes ( Everybody is a long-term investor until the market goes down ).
