The "Strategic Truth about Investing: How to Invest Profitably Using a Simple 50/50 Basis, plus a Non-Nonsense, Unorthodox Briefing on Current Global Economics" is relevant, timeless, and breaks away from the pack, bringing clarity to the investment industry, its practices, and professional reliability, and is written for individuals seeking reliable sources on how to invest profitably. In addition, balance sheets of public corporations are analyzed in a simple, yet very different manner, uncovering how some well-known blue chip stocks have Zero ($0) Equity - while some are negative. The book empowers non-financial individuals to take control of their investments, and outlines an easy to understand investment model using risk/reward ratio, commission/capital ratio, and simple to implement technical analysis tools, with a basis on a 50/50 probability. In addition, the book constructs non-academic, straightforward, unconventional, and non-nonsensical global economic analyses, blending the author's personal insight and experiences with publicly available economic data, historical facts, and current news - while injecting a small dose of humor and satire along the way, to remove the dryness often packaged with financially oriented books. To bring perspective to the U.S. and the global marketplace, a streamlined and focused examination of international social and cultural factors is added. Parallels are drawn to every day non-financial experiences to further strengthen the concepts being explained, while highlighting the common, frequently concealed fallacies associated with the investment industry. A number of questions are posed throughout - some rhetorical, others theoretical - to engage the reader and stimulate her/his own opinion construction process through critical thinking.
