Media Reviews
(John Rothchild) made a small fortune from writing books that made finance funny and entertaining. -Miami Herald Mr. Rothchild finds some compelling evidence that a bear might be lurking in the woods. (He) addresses the subject with candor. -The Wall Street Journal According to Rothchild, there's a dark cloud looming behind virtually every silver lining. And to the extent that it can, his book gives investors useful market history to help them cope when the next storm arrives to put the current bull in its place. -Washington Post Book World THE BEAR BOOK would be fascinating just because Rothchild is an entertaining writer who has gathered such a wide variety of historical facts, anecdotes, theories and current opinions to enlighten the reader about market declines. -Chicago Sun-Times A timely wake-up call...contains fascinating stories about history's greatest financial busts as well as guidance on how to cope with the next one. -Miami Herald An enlightening work that's likely to give investors a bigger scare than a Stephen King novel. Rothchild isn't one of those doom-and-gloom forecasters. He's just hoping to provide some perspective. -San Diego Union-Tribune John Rothchild, author of THE BEAR BOOK: Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets wrote an editorial published in the September 6, 1998 issue of New York Newsday entitled Are Investors Setting Free the Bears?
