Customer Reviews

Top notch book

This book was excellent. For not being an investment banker myself, I really gained a good insight into the world of finance and our changing economy. His focus is much on the emerging markets in China and how our industrial economy is losing power to China. Definitely a good read if you want an easy understanding about emerging markets and what you need to do to prepare to invest for the future.

The Bull Hunter hunts!

I found this book to be excellent in every way. I recommend it highly for any investor who handles his own money and is interested in investing in today's world. The Bull Hunter does not recommend individual stocks, but shows what we need to do in the new world environment. It also has a great introduction to the world of ETF's, something that is very important to understand---that alone is worth far more than the cost of this book.

The Bull Hunter

Awesome guide to the future in investing. Gives me a great head start.

A New World

I applaud Denning's work in The Bull Hunter. It's outrageously insightful, and has a brand of humor and personal insight into investing that one rarely gets to see these days. Moreover, the book really makes you reevaluate how you position yourself and your portfolio in today's financial climate. Denning makes the point clear and effective: the old investment styles and strategies of even two years ago are gone. And not only antiquated, but downright dangerous to your financial future! As he points out early in the book, today's financial climate is one that has seen the huge impact globalization has had on investing. In the section entitled America's Killer D's he points out that this is especially important because the U.S. dollar (down 30% over the past 5 years), as well as U.S. blue chips have been either stagnant or on a downward spiral. With the old stand bys crumbling a smart investor needs to diversify with foreign investments. According to him, globalization has given investors a "new reality" which in turn, calls for a "new strategy" in order to profit from these changes. What the book helps you understand is that in today's global economy, an investor needs to equate the word bull with the word opportunity. As he points out so readily, in a world teeming with markets: stock markets, bond markets, commodity markets, there are so many opportunities for investors. If you are educated and savvy enough to recognize where to put your money, you can become very wealthy. After reading the book and learning about the great profits that can be had, I've already started to diversify my portfolio using Denning's techniques. Several of my positions are already up in the double digits. In a nutshell, Denning turns the "World is Flat" idea on its head...and goes one step further...showing you exactly what you CAN DO to make globalization work for you. I highly recommend this powerful little tome.

some great specific tips on hot stocks

Having just finished the Jeremy Siegal book on Stocks for the Long Run, I can say Denning looks to be right on the money with his macro prediction that a world-based portfolio - versus just a U.S.-based one - makes a ton of sense. I was surprised that he manages to squeeze in some really intriguing and specific recommendations - like one for a commodity company in Argentina that is also a great, and relatively safe play on the boom in the world's populations. Another good thing here is that Denning has traveled the world and visited the countries and investments he's writing about - instead of writing from an office somewhere. That makes a huge difference, as Jim Rogers has proven over the long run. All in all, a fantastic read - with some great specific investments to consider, right down to the stock symbols. Don't want to give away too much but enjoyed it a lot.
