The Dow 40,000 Portfolio: The Stocks to Own to Outperform Today's Leading Benchmark

Dow 40,000 is the new book by David Elias of Elias Asset Management. Through detailed analysis and research, David Elias has established a target of 40,000 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average by the year 2016. This projection translates into an annual average growth rate for stocks of somewhere near 11%, which is close to what the markets have returned over the last 75 years, but it's important to note it is less than the return of the last 15 years. Support for this theory is drawn from the continued enhancement of corporate productivity, long-term economic and political fundamentals, historic market growth rates, the favorable impacts of both a balanced budget and tax reductions, the likely privatization of some portion of the Social Security system and the increasingly important role to be played by 76 million baby boomers preparing for retirement. 
The future does indeed seem promising, but the path to 40,000 will not be a straight rise upward. We will have to endure the temporary down periods that will test our resolve in order to enjoy the long-term gains. Periods such as July 1996 and March 1997 and most recent October 1997 have sent the major equity averages down by more than 5% each time. These corrections have weeded out the overpricing of certain stocks and paved the way for the market to continue its ascent. As painful as these periods may seem, they are healthy occurrences for the markets. 
David explores all these aspects and more in Dow 40,000.

A sweeping, cinematic novel about the life of the Winter Queen, Elizabeth Stuart October 1612. King James I is looking to expand England’s influence in Europe, especially among the Protestants. He invites Prince Frederic of the Palatinate to London and offers him his sixteen-year-old daughter Elizabeth’s hand in marriage. The fierce and intelligent Elizabeth moves to Heidelberg Castle, Frederic’s ancestral home, where she is favored with whatever she desires, and the couple begins their family. Amid much turmoil, the Hapsburg emperor is weakened, and with help from Bohemian rebels, Frederic takes over royal duties in Prague. Thus, Elizabeth becomes the Queen of Bohemia. But their reign is brief. Within the year, Catholic Europe unites to take back the Hapsburg throne. Defeated at the Battle of White Mountain, Frederic, Elizabeth, and their children are forced into exile for a much-reduced life in The Hague. Despite tumultuous seasons of separation and heartache, the Winter Queen makes every effort to keep her family intact. Written with cinematic flair, this historical novel brings in key figures such as Shakespeare and Descartes as it recreates the drama and intrigue of 17th-century England and the Continent. Elizabeth’s children included Rupert of the Rhine and Sophia of Hanover, from whom the Hanoverian line descended to the present Queen Elizabeth II.

This book examines the reality of farming’s impact on nature by studying a Welsh hill farm.\nFarming has often been viewed as harmful to the environment, causing friction between those wanting to protect wildlife and the farmers whose livelihoods depend on the land. Conservationists and governments frequently propose well-meaning ideas and policies that all too often do not have the intended results. In this captivating debut, conservationist David Elias explores a farm in Snowdonia National Park and unpacks the gritty reality of trying to reconcile hill farming and environmentalism. Visiting through the seasons, he forms a deep relationship with the land and the people who work it. It is also a farm rich in nature, and he brings his experienced eye to how its wildlife has been shaped by changing farming practices over generations. Through lyrical prose and first-hand conversations with farmers, Elias also shows what current government policies have achieved—or not achieved—and why it is so important for us to understand what it really takes to ensure farming families remain on the land while simultaneously allowing nature to flourish.
