Local Author Day-Book Signing/Discussion - The Money Compass by Mark Anthony Grimaldi

Description

Local economist and author Mark Anthony Grimaldi will discuss and sign copies of his new book, The Money Compass: Where Your Money Went and How to Get it Back, at Barnes & Noble on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie, on Saturday, May 17 a 10 a.m. In The Money Compass, Grimaldi teams up with accounting professor G. Stevenson Smith to offer a wealth of smart investing advice for today’s investor. This plain-English guide to good investing presents practical strategies and actionable advice for safely navigating today’s financial markets. It shows you how to manage credit and debt responsibly, how to use the tax code to your advantage, which kinds of trendy investing advice you should ignore, and where to put your money for solid returns. In addition, the authors explore the hard macroeconomic realities that explain how we got here and where we’re going next. They look at the primary causes and consequences of the recession, the housing crash, the slow collapse of government programs, long-term unemployment, and how it all impacts you and your money. Plus, Grimaldi and Stevenson forecast the next big economic shock and show you how to profit from it. The economic game is rigged to keep you poor and keep Wall Street rich. So it’s time to write your own rules. Whether you’re white collar, blue collar, or somewhere in between, The Money Compass gives you the commonsense guidance you need to chart a course to a comfortable financial future—even in the roughest economic waters.

Please note that the book signing begins at 10 a.m., and the discussion and Q&A is scheduled for noon.
