Surviving the Storm: Investment Strategies That Help You Maximize Profit and Control Risk During the Coming Economic Winter

By James O. Lunney with Larry Chambers

A key point of Surviving the Storm: Investment Strategies That Help You Maximize Profit and Control Risk During the Coming Economic Winter is to study demographics and birthrates to size up booms or busts and invest accordingly. For a refresher course on this aspect or if you live a variation of the shoemaker's children without shoes, pick up this book by James O. Lunney, a 25-year veteran of the securities business and the "creator" of the so-called the Wealth Planning Strategy, a program for the high-net-worth individual.

INSIGHTS INTO CHINA'S ECONOMY:

If you're watching the Beijing Olympics and can't get enough of China, then you're in luck.

On Wall Street presents reviews of two books on the world's fastest-growing and most exciting economy.

Get our reviewer's take on how to profit from the Chinese miracle in China Fireworks: How to Make Dramatic Wealth From the Fastest-Growing Economy in the World by Robert Hsu (Wiley, May 2008).

Or discover the reasoning behind one author's argument to have the U.S. impose tariffs that will slash the trade deficit with China in the short-term, and, over time, force the Asian nation to allow more freedom for its own citizens. That's in In the Jaws of the Dragon: America's Fate in the Coming Era of Chinese Hegemony by Eamonn Fingleton (St. Martin's Press, March 2008).
