  Sir Johns philosophy of investing, which is built around the  presumption that investors must have the courage and patience to  ride out economic and market cycles, remains highly relevant today.  In the aftermath of two of the most savage bear markets in living  memory, which twice within a decade have seen stock markets around  the world fall, peak to trough, by 50%, many investors remain  shell-shocked and disillusioned by their losses. Had they followed  a disciplined Templeton approach, we can show that they would not  have fared anything like as badly as many did. Nor, certainly,  would they have become so disheartened.   John Templeton, a perennial optimist produced his best  investment returns during and immediately after bear markets,  underlining that success in investment is just as much about  avoiding losses and preserving what you have gained, as it is about  picking winners. The authors believe it is important for investors  today to appreciate that the events of the past ten years,  including the great global financial crisis of 2008-09, reinforce  the importance of some fundamental truths about investment. One is  that there are always opportunities to make money, even when   no, particularly when ?] the outlook appears particularly  gloomy.

  In Anything You Want (2011), Derek Sivers shares his own unconventional experience of being a business owner. He delivers small biographical anecdotes about how a hobby turned into a million-dollar success story. He started CD Baby, an online store, as an outlet to sell his own CD after being turned down by major distributors. He built the store from scratch and had to learn advanced programming on his own. When friends started asking him to put their own CDs on his store, he was happy to oblige—and that’s how it all started. 
  Derek’s strategies and philosophy go against the traditional way of running a company. He did not want to grow big, he did not follow any grand business plan, and he never aimed for profitability—he only wanted to do what made him happy.

  Forgotten Continent: The Battle...

  The bestselling primer on the social, political, and economic challenges facing Central and South America by The Economist editor and author of Brazil.   Latin America has often been condemned to failure. Neither poor enough to evoke Africa’s moral crusade, nor as explosively booming as India and China, it has largely been overlooked by the West. Yet this vast continent, home to half a billion people, the world’s largest reserves of arable land, and 8.5 percent of global oil, is busily transforming its political and economic landscape. This book argues that rather than failing the test, Latin America’s efforts to build fairer and more prosperous societies make it one of the world’s most vigorous laboratories for capitalist democracy. In many countries—including Brazil, Chile and Mexico—democratic leaders are laying the foundations for faster economic growth and more inclusive politics, as well as tackling deep-rooted problems of poverty, inequality, and social injustice. They face a new challenge from Hugo Chávez’s oil-fueled populism, and much is at stake. Failure will increase the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants to the United States and Europe, jeopardize stability in a region rich in oil and other strategic commodities, and threaten some of the world’s most majestic natural environments. Drawing on Michael Reid’s many years of reporting from inside Latin America’s cities, presidential palaces, and shantytowns, the book provides a vivid, immediate, and informed account of a dynamic continent and its struggle to compete in a globalized world.   “No one who seriously aspires to discuss Latin American politics, economics, and culture should go without reading Forgotten Continent.”—National Interest
