Summary

Beat the Pros at Their Own Game 
All too often, you learn about good stocks far too late to profit from the information. By the time you actually buy a stock, professional investors have already been there, bought the stock, driven up the price, and are just waiting to unload it at an inflated price. 
All That's About to Change. . . . 
In Ahead of the Market, Mitch Zacks shows investors how they can spot stocks that are poised to take off long before the rest of the crowd learns about them. How? By unlocking the gems of priceless information buried in Wall Street's often self-serving research.  
Ahead of the Market is the first book, ever, that enables you to profitably use the analyst stock research for which Wall Street firms pay more than one billion dollars annually. Many investors have rightly felt misled in the past by analysts who continued to hype stocks as prices plummeted. You may have even concluded that Wall Street research is totally worthless. But it's not. 
In Ahead of the Market, Mitch Zacks shows that analysts actually provide a wealth of market-moving information that can generate exceptional returns if interpreted correctly.The key is to use the research produced by Wall Street analysts the same way the professional money managers do. 
Pioneered by the firm Zacks Investment Research and based on more than twenty years of intensive analysis, the investment strategies revealed in this book are indeed the same ones used by successful professional investors everywhere. 
In these pages you will learn how to form an investment plan by locating stocks that are poised for price appreciation and avoiding stocks heading for a fall. Zacks shows how you could have prevented being burned when the recent bubble burst, if you had known how to use analyst research correctly and teaches you the rules of the research game so you will not fall victim the next time around. In sum, this book is your guide to picking the right stock at the right time. 
Mitch Zacks's groundbreaking research provides new insights and new strategies to:Use revisions to analysts' earnings estimates to predict the rise and fall of stock prices Interpret the real meaning behind analysts' stock recommendations Employ the "cockroach" phenomenon and other methodologies to predict earnings surprises before they occur Determine how to react when a company reports earnings and how to profit from "post-earnings announcement drift"Understand and profit from "analyst creep"—the reason that earnings estimate revisions occur incrementally over timeAvoid being duped by the games that companies play with their earnings reportsWhether the economy is healthy or stalled, whether the market is up or down, by focusing on the strategies contained in this book you will always come out ahead. Well-picked individual stocks will always carry the day. Now with Ahead of the Market, you will finally have the same tools institutional investors have and will be able to find great stocks in any market environment.

    Do you want to make a difference?  
    Perhaps there is no leadership responsibility more profound than creating a sustainable, injury-free workplace. 
    Achieving an injury-free environment is one of the most difficult problems many leaders face. Indeed, during 35 years in manufacturing I never discovered a singular solution to this challenge.  
    In my experience, organizations with the best safety performances do not have a secret. They simply do a lot of small things collectively and strategically well. 
    This book is a collection of leadership concepts, thoughts, words, and actions that can move your organization toward a better safety future.  
    The first section of the book reviews fundamental concepts everyone who is striving to achieve safety excellence should understand. 
    The core of the book reviews key research findings in social psychology and sociology as they apply to safety. I share personal experiences of highly effective leadership. And I recount other situations that exemplify the wrong approach. In each case, I discuss how you can leverage these concepts in a practical way to improve your safety leadership skills.  
    At the end of each chapter, there is a segment called the SAFETY LEADER'S TOOLBOX. This toolbox contains over 70 practical tools and tips for being a more effective safety leader! Readers are encouraged to consult this toolbox for small changes in what you think, say, and do to shape your safety culture. 
    Where do you begin? Start with a "Why" of caring. If you start with caring as your personal motive, you won't have to do everything perfectly. Your employees will want to do the right things for the right reasons. 
    I teach an online course based on the concepts from this book. Visit safetywalksafetytalk.com/course to learn more.

    The Lean Farm - How to Minimize...

    A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation 
    To many people today, using the words “factory” and “farm” in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor.  Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed on progressive farms around the world. Using examples from his own family’s one-acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean practices in each step of their production chain, from starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees and selling goods. While the intended audience for this book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing local food movement, Hartman’s prescriptions for high-value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power of lean in their production processes.

    And Then the Roof Caved In - How...

    And Then the Roof Caved In will lay bare the truth of the credit crisis, whose defining emotion at every turn has been greed, and whose defining failure is the complicity of the U.S. government in letting that greed rule the day.   It will lay that truth out in painstaking detail with compelling characters who offer their first-hand accounts of what they did and why they did it. Faber explains the events of the previous seven years that created the crisis of confidence that culminated on September 18th.  He begins in 2001, when the Federal Reserve embarked on an unprecedented effort to help the economy recover from the attacks of 9/11 by sending interest rates to all time lows. One result was the start of a housing bubble, the likes of which our nation had never witnessed. Readers will hear from the man behind that bubble, Dr. Alan Greenspan, who vigorously defended his decisions during this period, as well as the men and women who used sub-prime mortgages to buy their homes and now find themselves in the depths of despair. Faber also gives readers a deep, inside look at Wall Street, where the crisis was incubated and unleashed on the world. Bankers who led that effort admit to their only true motivation and share their secrets. Faber introduces readers to insiders from the ratings agencies, who take their former employers to task for abandoning any promise of integrity in their much valued credit ratings; regulators, who tried to stop this problem before it swung out of control; and the hedge fund managers who correctly foresaw the coming housing crash and profited from it.
