  This book presents asset-protecting strategies for the millions of investors spooked by the ongoing Enron debacle. The collapse of Enron - one of the most costly bankruptcy cases in history - has led millions of investors to question the safety of their portfolios and retirement plans. Investing in a Post-Enron World gives wary investors the tools they need to determine the safety of any investment and outlines a step-by-step program for ensuring that their portfolios are shielded from sudden disasters. The first Enron book specifically for investors, Investing in a Post-Enron World pulls no punches in telling investors what to buy and whom to trust, along with red flags to watch for. Its numerous methods for minimizing risk and over-exposure include: a quick course in investing and finance; guidelines for pulling the truth from financial statements; rules for Enron-proofing a portfolio through diversification; simple techniques for valuing a company and its stock; ways to manage downside risk; and how to become a financial sleuth .
