Fast Profits in Hard Times: 10 Secret Strategies to Make You Rich in an Up or Down Economy

by Jordan E. Goodman, with Bill Westrom

Published by Business Plus

Read Excerpt
Listen to podcast interview:

Do you think you can't profit if the economy is in serious decline? Many investors believe you can earn substantial profits only if it's strong. But in this groundbreaking book, Jordan E. Goodman, "America's Money Answers Man" and an expert with thirty years of experience in the financial media, proves how wrong they can be. Fast Profits in Hard Times reveals ten simple-to-implement but little-known investment venues that make it easy for you to earn high returns even when the economy is down.

Goodman describes how these ten strategies work. He gives you a realistic appraisal of how much time and effort you'll need to spend on each, and tells you how much money you need to get started, what kind of returns you can reasonably expect, how liquid each investment is, and how to minimize the risks both before and after you plunge in.

Discover how to profit from:

  • Tax liens and deeds
  • Buying real estate below market value
  • Income trusts and master limited partnerships
  • High-yielding stocks
  • Dividend reinvestment plans
  • Options trading
  • Unusual bond strategies
  • Foreign exchange trading
  • Passive income strategies
  • Brokering cash flow opportunities

Together with this book's detailed resources -- Web sites, associations, companies, and more -- the insider tips in this book are geared for the average American, not full-time investors. Just one of these strategies could become your path to a much more comfortable lifestyle . . . this year and every year.
