Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street (The Macat Library)
by Nicholas BurtonBurton Malkiel’s 1973 A Random Walk Down Wall Street was an explosive contribution to debates about how to reap a good return on investing in stocks and shares. Reissued and updated many times since, Malkiel’s text remains an indispensable contribution to the world of investment strategy – one that continues to cause controversy among investment professionals today. <P><P>At the book’s heart lies a simple question of evaluation: just how successful are investment experts? The financial world was, and is, full of people who claim to have the knowledge and expertise to outperform the markets, and produce larger gains for investors as a result of their knowledge. But how successful, Malkiel asked, are they really? Via careful evaluations of performance – looking at those who invested via ‘technical analysis’ and ‘fundamental analysis’ – he was able to challenge the adequacy of many of the claims made for analysts’ success. Malkiel found the major active investment strategies to be significantly flawed. Where actively managed funds posted big gains one year, they seemingly inevitably posted below average gains in succeeding years. By evaluating the figures over the medium and long term, indeed, Malkiel discovered that actively-managed funds did far worse on average than those that passively followed the general market index. <P><P>Though many investment professionals still argue against Malkiel’s influential findings, his exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of the argument for believing investors’ claims provides strong evidence that his own passive strategy wins out overall.

But when Burt embarks on a plan to teleport home once and for all and ventures into the cold all alone, Lydia will have to find a way to bridge the gulf between them.

Bury Me Deep: A timeless portrait of the dark side of desire ...
by Megan AbbottIn October 1931, a station agent found two large trunks abandoned in LA's South Pacific Train Station. What he found inside ignited one of the most scandalous tabloid sensations of the decade. Inspired by this notorious true crime, Bury Me Deep is the story of Marion Seeley, a young woman abandoned in Phoenix by her husband. At the medical clinic where she finds a job, Marion becomes fast friends with Louise, a vivacious nurse, and her roommate, Ginny. Before long, the demure Marion is swept up in the exuberant life of the girls, who supplement their scant income by entertaining the town's most powerful men with wild parties. At one of these events, Marion meets-and falls hard for-the charming Joe Lanigan, a local rogue and politician on the rise, whose ties to all three women bring events to a dramatic and deadly collision. A story born of Depression-era desperation and Jazz Age nostalgia, Bury Me Deep - with its hothouse of jealousy, illicit sex, and shifting loyalties - is a timeless portrait of the dark side of desire.

by Megan AbbottIn Bury Me Deep, "Megan Abbott delivers. She is simply one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation" (Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of What the Dead Know). * Edgar® Award winner: With her first three novels, megan Abbott has been a two-time nominee for crime writing's top honor, the edgar® Award, and now a winner for her third novel, Queenpin. The prize has cemented Abbott's place as "the reigning crown princess of noir" (Booklist). * Jazz age caper: Synonymous with the rise of modern-style corruption and louche social mores, the Jazz Age is one of the most colorful periods in American history, times notorious for inciting scandalous crimes. Steeped in authentic period detail, Bury Me Deep resounds to the present day with echoes of doomed love and the tragedy it wrought. * "The trunk murderess": Bury Me Deep turns on the indelible details of a double murder whose victims are dismembered and concealed in trunks bound by train for Los Angeles. As a portrayal of an accused murderess (dubbed "Tiger Woman," "The Blonde Butcher" and "The Velvet Tigress") trapped by circumstance of gender, class, and, most of all, the blindness of passion, the novel is an astounding feat of suspense and intrigue.
Bury Me Deep
by Christopher PikeShe was where she had been a moment ago. But nothing was the same. The sun was coming up, not going down. The air was still, the cemetery neat and tidy. She climbed slowly to her knees. What had happened? She remembered a branch falling, but when she glanced up, she could see no place where a limb had broken off. She couldn't find the flowers she had brought for Mike. "Where am I?" she whispered. She touched the soil beside her. That, too, had changed. The earth was looser than it had been when she arrived, as if it had just been dug up and shoveled back over a coffin. "Mike," she whispered. It looked so very fresh. She stood and began to back up. "No, Mike." Fresh as a body that had just been buried. The brown soil on top of the plot began to stir. "Stop it, Mike!" Jean cried. Something poked up through the brown earth into the air.
