It would be great if we could all retire with a nice portfolio of savings and pension income, without having to worry about paying the bills most retired people pay.

Yet...many retirees are living out their retirement on the breadline without much hope for even going on holiday without being assisted by relatives or even handouts. Don't let yourself be one of them...it's never too late!

Title : How to Retire Rich
Author : James O'Shaughnessey
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A Nobel Prize for O'Shaughnessy!

The main message of _How to Retire Rich_ is that if you want to retire rich, or retire at all for that matter (ever!), you must invest in the stock market. You just don't have a choice in the matter. Sit down and let James O'Shaughnessy take you through the math---you'll quickly see that that is just the financial reality. The good news, however, is that investing in the stock market, when done properly, is not what you think it is. It's not about outsmarting all the other investors out there. It's not about trying to get a 'ten-bagger' so you can buy a cool car and brag at parties. It's not even about shrewd business savvy and scanning financial reports. It's about picking an effective strategy and sticking with it year in, year out until the day you retire, never pulling your money out of the market.

But if that sounds hard, don't worry. One of HTRR's strongest points is the wealth of wisdom it provides on the mental aspects of investing over the long term. What do you do if your portfolio tanks? What do you do if it soars? This is a problem? You'd be surprised! O'Shaughnessy is probably the only author with a completely rounded, mature outlook on the emotional aspects of investing. Reading HTRR will give you the confidence you need to invest and stay in the market through good times and bad.

So how do you invest? O'Shaughnessy breaks it all down for you, telling you exactly what to do. We're not talking the usual vague, feelgood accepted wisdom here such as 'buy market leaders' or 'buy on weakness, sell on strength'. Throw all those books in the trash! HTRR will tell you how to quickly find the precise stocks you should buy. You'll finish the book at 2 o'clock and have a list of the stocks to buy in your hand at 2:30. Yes, it's just that easy. You'll also know exactly when to buy them (now) and when to sell them (a year from now), and what do after that (repeat the process until you retire). What could be simpler?

O'Shaughnessy should be nominated for a Nobel Prize. He is a modern-day Charles Darwin with a theory that has all the hallmarks of a revolution in scientific thought. The theory is simple, but deceptively so. Many readers come away thinking they have understood it, only to later demonstrate that they clearly haven't. Even Motley Fool was apparently unable to grasp Reasonable Runaways (one of the strategies in HTRR). They tried to test it with a universe of stocks picked from Value Line (!). When it wasn't performing well after six months (!), they wondered how they could tweak it (!) to "make it dance" (their words). You'll understand just how ridiculous all of this is when you read HTRR.

Perhaps the reason for this widespread misunderstanding is that while the theory itself is simple, its ramifications are not---and without understanding its ramifications, it is impossible to truly understand the theory. Like Darwin, O'Shaughnessy has taken 'God'---the human element---completely out of the picture. That's what readers find so hard to grasp. O'Shaughnessy has shown that not only is human intervention in portfolio management not necessary, it's downright harmful. Given enough time, any human intervention will only lower a portfolio's returns from the optimum returns that could be obtained using a simple model.

I hesitate to include the returns I have earned over the past four years using the Reasonable Runaways strategy in this review, because I don't think they're typical. I have earned 93.15% (CARR of 17.88%) versus 1.17% (CARR of 0.29%) for the SP during the same period (July 15, 2001 to July 15, 2005). And this is during a time period that includes 9/11. But as you'll discover from reading HTRR, four years is a meaninglessly short amount of time over which to gauge performance. Also, giving out exciting returns numbers shifts the discussion away from the real message of the book---get in the stock market and stay there (investing properly of course). It's the only way you'll ever be able to retire, rich or otherwise.

For UK readers, Ifd also like to point out that if you invest in the US stock market and live outside the UK (as I do), itfs tax-free. How can you go wrong?

Title : Kiplinger's 12 Steps to a Worry-Free Retirement
Author : Daniel Kehrer
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Easy to understand.

This book lays out what you need to know about planning your retirement using easy to understand text and charts. The chapter I liked best was: Step 12 Monitor Your Retirement Plan's Pulse, I think its a good idea to read this chapter first.

Title : The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica: A Guide to Inexpensive Living, Making Money and Finding Love in a Peaceful Tropical Paradise
Author : Christopher Howard
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : "This Books is my Right Hand"

This book is my Right Hand, as manager of the Residents Association of Costa Rica (ARCR), I have found that newcomers sometimes seem to know more about Costa Rica than people living here just because they read this excellent book.

Title : Adventure of Retirement: It'S
Author : A. Guild Fetridge
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : This book was very helpful - though not an eye-opener

The author is very thoughful and knows the subject well. I bought this book for my parents and hope the situation is the same or better when I retire.

Title : Pay Yourself First: A Commonsense Guide to Life-Cycle Retirement Investing
Author : Timothy W. Cunningham
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : One of the most insight books on investing for the future.

This is a must read for people in their 20s and 30s, especially those who are married and have children. Most people think Social Security and the company 401K will take care of their retirement. A great many of those people believe if they start saving in their mid-30s they will accumulate enough wealth to retire comfortably. This book reinforces the need to begin saving for retirement as soon as you begin working full-time because of the power of compounding and all of the various circumstances like Bar Mitzah's, weddings and other financially draining events. It made me examine my own portfolio and strategy for future financial events. It is a very easy to read and understand book and can be read in a day.

Title : Gateways (Repairman Jack Novels (Hardcover))
Author : F. Paul Wilson
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A real treat for Repairman jack fans

yes, this is the book for connoiseurs of Jack, drawing as it does form other stories by F Paul Wilson, in particular The Barrens and even Nightworld itself. It starts with news that Jack's father has been the victim of a hit and run accident in Florida, and our anti-hero must leave New York and travel down to visit him. Wilson provides his usual tense atention-grabbing scene at the start of the novel, as Jack's false identity and smuggling abilities are put to the test as he is forced to take a plane in the high-security aftermath of 9/11. Now when even Repairman Jack is afraid of being highjacked in mid-air, something has clearly gone wrong in America...

Anyway, on arrival in Florida it becomes clear that this was no random accident, and that Jack's father has quite a few secrets of his own. Without giving too much away, there are some surprise appearances along the way, with some of the cast of Nightworld sneaking out for a look at our world...I'm talking about you and your kin, Lobster-Wasp, as well as the one whose name we dare not speak (or borrow). These events are clearly going to require a slight re-writing of Nightworld by Wilson, as the current text was written before these recent Jack novels and does not contain any reference to Jack having experienced the events of Gateways...however, I'm sure FPW will tie up the loose ends perfectly in what is the greatest saga in modern fiction.
