The stock market gods were beneficent in 2013, but economic
instability and pitifully low yields mean building wealth in 2014 will
be challenging. In this special 2014 Investment Guide we’ve distilled
sophisticated investing advice to its actionable essence. We’ve got nine
formulas for answering such key problems as “How much will college
cost?” and 365 pithy but pertinent tips
to help you build your nest egg. We also show you how to capitalize on
Asia’s consumer-spending tsunami, where the best fracking-boom returns
can be made, how to profit from convertible bond deals and how to get
the biggest tax deduction for your charitable dollars.
Additionally we tackle hotly debated ideas like whether
art is worth the investment and whether the 401(k) business is in need
of the overhaul Nobel laureate Robert Merton has devised for it. In the
interest of investor protection and salvation we profile one young money
man’s crusade to protect commodities investors; how a Forbes 400 member
is breathing new life into underwater mortgages; and how another
dedicated his NFL football fortune to helping the smartest poor kids.
Finally we offer the tale of how one family is wrestling with its
intellectual property inheritance built around a fearless and enchanting
little girl named Madeline. Edited by Janet Novack and Matt Schifrin.
