The Financial World Ahead, 2020-2030

A cutting-edge guide to the global equity markets.

Each day nearly $300 billion is invested in the world´s major equity markets, from New York to Nairobi. With all those choices, how do you decide what markets to commit to?

The average investor loses at the stock market, always chasing yesterday´s winners and selling when he should have been buying. Even worse, he limits himself to the equity markets in his own backyard and foregoes the stellar returns that less familiar locales offer.

This book guides the investor through a pain-free way to track the global equity markets. In plain language it presents prospects for dividends and capital gains in the world´s 43 largest equity markets.

Drawing on his 15-plus years of experience in the financial markets as an economist, Dr. David J. Howden provides a roadmap to guide the investor through the muddles of the world´s major markets. Timely forecasts and prospective returns from the NASDAQ to the Nikkei simplify the investment process for the reader and let him prudently invest his savings where the markets will treat his money best. Unlike other investment books, Dr. Howden also offers practical tips on finding the best stock values and shows how all investors – institutional and uninitiated – can minimize stress and take full advantage of the world´s largest equity markets.
