The Hedge Funds Book: How to Invest in Hedge Funds & Earn High
Rates of Returns Safely Money managers have traditionally used hedge funds as they would mutual funds: to pool investors' money and place it in financial instruments in an effort to make a high positive return. Hedge funds have typically been available only to the very affluent or to investors with inside contacts, but today that has changed. Almost any investor can now participate in a hedge fund and earn high returns. Why should you consider investing in a hedge fund? One reason is simply the high potential returns. Since January 1990, as measured by the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index, which accounts for more than 1,600 funds listed on the internal Hedge Fund Research (HFR) Database, hedge funds have returned 14 percent per year through October 2005. Many funds have earned triple digit returns. As with many other business segments, the Internet and technology have opened up this attractive marketplace to a new breed of individual investors and speculators working part-time. You and I are now on an even playing field with the largest banks, wealthiest individuals, and trading institutions from the comfort of our own homes. Hedge funds can provide you with very high, secure rate of return 12%, 18%, 24%, or even 300% per year. If performed correctly, hedge fund trading will far outpace all other investments. This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! The key is learning how to proceed. This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started generating high-investment returns with low risk from start to finish. In this easy to read and comprehensive new book, you will find out how to invest in hedge funds, evaluate their performance, and employ investing strategies and tactics, deftly using the latest technology to set up your account online. You will be able to handle fees, taxes, and risks, and you will get little known data to help you double or even triple your investment - all while avoiding the common traps and pitfalls. In addition, we took the extra effort and spent an unprecedented amount of time researching, interviewing, e-mailing, and communicating with hundreds of today's most successful hedge fund investors. Aside from learning the basics of hedge fund trading, you will be privy to investors' "closed club" secrets and proven successful ideas. Instruction is great, but advice from experts is even better, and the experts chronicled in this book are earning millions.

Green Your Home: The Complete Guide to Making Your New or
Existing Home Environmentally Healthy Helping the world go greener can begin with something as simple as changing an ordinary light bulb to a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb. The advantages of these bulbs include lasting much longer, using 1/30th the electricity of an incandescent bulb, having no fragile elements to break, and being cool to the touch. For those who want to make a bigger change by renovating their existing home or building a new "green house," this book is full of thousands of ways to make your home environmentally healthy. This new, groundbreaking book will help people make environmentally friendly home and building supply choices. From recycling to using alternative cleaning materials, minor changes at home can add up to real benefits. Here are some interesting facts: The U.S. generates about 208 million tons of municipal solid waste a year, according to the National Institutes of Health. That is more than four pounds per person per day. Every little bit helps; recycling just one glass bottle produces enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. According to the Energy Star Web site, if just one in ten homes used energy-efficient appliances, it would be equivalent to planting 1.7 million acres of new trees. Using a broom instead of the garden hose to clean your driveway can save 80 gallons of water, and turning the water off while you brush your teeth will save 4.5 gallons every time. Each person will receive almost 560 pieces of junk mail this year, which adds up nationally to 4.5 million tons, according to the Native Forest Network. About 44 percent of all junk mail is thrown in the trash, unopened and unread, and ends up in a landfill. Each year, Americans throw away some 100 billion polyethylene plastic bags - from grocery and trash bags to those ultra-convenient sandwich bags. Unfortunately, plastics are made from petroleum - the processing and burning of which is considered one of the main contributors to global warming, according to the EPA. American households use 80 million pounds of pesticides each year, according to the EPA. Greening your home simply means finding things you can do around the house to reduce your impact on the planet. Things that green your home usually make it a safer and healthier place to live in as well; this new book will present thousands of low or no cost ways to make your home environmentally friendly. You will learn 101 things you can do today to help save the planet. If you are building a new home these include how to locate a green-friendly architect and contractor, using energy-efficient appliances, using renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind, selecting earth-friendly products and materials, installing energy-efficient windows and skylights, and planting a green roof. Other great, environmentally friendly tips and tricks include stopping electronic waste and junk mail, non-toxic paints and stains, eco-friendly flooring, kitchen, and bath supplies, earth-friendly weed-killers, citrus pest killer, organic soils, compost, and fertilizers, and even plants that reduce indoor air pollution, rain barrels, smart sprinklers, water efficiency, tankless water heaters, energy efficiency, tax credits for earth friendly choices, environmentally friendly landscaping, plantings, fertilizers, and mulch. We dissected your house, looking for easy (but not always obvious) ways that homeowners can conserve energy and water - and money at the same time. Here is an example: Replace just five of your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (which use two-thirds less energy, generate 70 percent less heat, and last up to ten times longer), and you will save an estimated $35 to $65 a year in energy costs. You will also learn about the award-winning Caroma "dual-flush" toilet from Australia, an eco-friendly toilet whose half- and full-flush modes can save more than 65 percent of your toilet's annual water usage. There are hundreds of other great suggestions in this new and up-to-date book that will make your home greener simply and quickly. 978-1-60138-128-6 1-60138-128-X $24.95 9781601381286

The Complete Tax Guide for eBay Sellers: Insider Secrets You Need
to Know Fed up with the numerous violations of tax law by individuals and businesses selling goods on eBay and other Web sites, the IRS is pushing Congress to make online marketplaces responsible for reporting sales information to the IRS. eBay's own statistics suggest that there are 1.3 million people around the world who make their primary or secondary source of income through eBay, with just over 700,000 of those people in the United States. Last year, an IRS advisory committee recommended that online auction sites be required to file reports of sales transactions with the IRS. The committee also suggested requiring sellers to obtain taxpayer identification numbers, which would let the government track the transactions. If you are an eBay seller, you may be paying more than you have to in taxes because you have not focused on all that you can deduct. You will learn how to take advantage of the legal tax loopholes available and how to choose the proper, legal business structure. If you run your online selling business in a businesslike manner with intent to profit, you can take deductions for business use of your home and also many other deductions, even though they may produce a loss that reduces the taxes you owe on your day-job income. You will learn the categories of deductions on the Schedule C, which is the form most small independent businesses must file. You also will learn to use the complete list of deductions to see what kinds of items you should be tracking all year and how to set up your records using a system that tracks those categories, including how to computerize the bookkeeping process. This brand new, up-to-date book covers everything you will need to know to balance the books, including assets and liabilities, keeping track of transactions, payroll, sales tax, balance sheets, keeping a ledger and journal, financial statements, operating accounts |
