About this title:

Synopsis: A guide using the four elements, earth, air, fire and water, to create a framework for a prosperous financial investment strategy. Includes realistic case studies, common pitfalls, useful Internet resources, and an empowering attitude. Softcover. DLC: Finance--Personal.

From Booklist: Financier George Soros, in The Alchemy of Finance (1987), already used alchemy as a metaphor to suggest that investing is less than a precise science. Now Vallee appropriates the term and pursues the analogy by using the four basic symbols of alchemy as a model to represent increasing levels of risk and reward--from earth to water to air to fire. He then identifies investment vehicles appropriate to each level and lists Internet resources one can use to find additional information about the particular category of investment. Vallee includes a separate discussion of real estate and insurance and considers investment strategies tailored to one's life stage. A brief but annotated bibliography and a helpful glossary are included. As a successful venture capitalist, Vallee understands risk. He is also a software engineer and has written books and articles on astrophysics, database management, and communications. In addition, he is an award-winning science fiction author. Although not acknowledged in this current effort, Vallee also happens to have written a number of titles on UFO phenomena. David Rouse
