Beach Reading: Forbes Picks Dr. Ed's Book. It's summer time and time for backyard barbecues and sitting in beach chairs. It's also time for summer reading. At the end of June, Forbes picked six of The Best Investing Books. My book is third on the list with the following review: "One way to invest is to look at megatrends. Often these are about technology transformations, such as the internet, cloud computing and social networking. To help analyze trends, Edward Yardeni’s Predicting the Markets is a great resource. Keep in mind that—during the past four decades—he has a solid track record of anticipating waves. Just some include globalization and disinflation. He also has a knack for predicting bull-bear turns in the markets."
