Being in the right place at the right time is what The Monopoly Method: An Insider's Guide to Navigating Wall Street and Becoming a Better Investor is all about. While simple and easy to understand, The Monopoly Method is also comprehensive and powerful. It will change the way you think about investing in the stock market. It will make investing fun, profitable and less risky. Most importantly, The Monopoly Method will give you the confidence to take control of your financial destiny. "McCall's strategy of focusing on monopolists has the dual virtues of being both intellectually compelling and also right. Plus, he's got that rare attribute: a Wall Street guy who can speak in the language of the rest of us." - DUFF MCDONALD - Contributing editor at Vanity Fair and Fortune magazines, and author of Last Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase "The Monopoly Method by Greg McCall is a breath of fresh air." - BRIAN BOLLEN - 2010 Journalist of the Year, Investor Services Technology, Online/Wires State Street Press Awards "The simple common sense process Greg offers while distilling two decades experience allows an investor to dodge the potholes that can be extraordinarily disheartening and costly. Greg takes the mystery out of investing. Warren Buffett wisely suggests not to invest in what you don't know. Greg's process helps you know what is necessary to build conviction in your investments." - PIP COBURN - Founder of Coburn Ventures and author of The Change Function: Why Some Technologies Take Off and Others Crash and Burn. "I often have students ask me what the job of a financial analyst entails and now I'll tell them to read this book." - JIM VAN MEERTEN - An advisor to Marketocracy Capital Management, writes on financial subjects and is a contributor on MSN Top Stocks Blog and Motley Fool. We live in an environment where traditionally held beliefs towards the stock markets have broken down. Whether the risk is outright investor fraud, a collapsing financial system, global economic depression or geopolitical events, the result is the same, extreme market volatility and risk, which can cause large, unrecoverable losses. Investors, be they professional or not, are forced to become more active with their investment portfolio. But, few investment books lay out in detail how to - and take you step by step through - actively manage your investment portfolio in a concise, efficient, productive and understandable format. The Monopoly Method presents the reader with observations, lessons and strategies based on a twenty-year career as an investment manager. Importantly, the reader will acquire the skills necessary to actively manage their wealth in the most efficient and cost effective way possible. The reader is in effect, receiving lessons from someone on the inside who has encountered many market cycles, been an early partner in two successful billion dollar investment funds and a founder of a third fund. A few of the insights readers will learn include:

• How to adopt the most valuable tools and strategies professionals use to make well timed and long term investment decisions.
• How to conduct research efficiently in order to separate the noise from the signal, including which signals to watch for in the financial, technology, consumer, commodity, industrial and energy sectors.
• How to monitor the economy and incorporate market analysis into your investment style.
• How to identify, monitor and trade the best stocks for your portfolio. Case studies of Apple, Cisco and Wal-Mart are reviewed.
• How to manage risk in the stock market and in your portfolio.
• Plus over 30 global investment themes and corresponding stocks are revealed.
