Foreword. Introduction. Acknowledgments. 1. Sages and Charlatans: Avoiding the Fads, the Buzz, the Rip-Offs, and the Merely Dumb. If You Can't Understand, Don't Invest. Friends and Family Don't Like a Company's Products. A Product or Company Is Hyped by Wall Street, the Media, and Others. On Wall Street, the Game Is Usually Rigged Against the Small Investor. The Motivation of an Adviser Making a Recommendation Is Suspect. Price Means Everything: A Great Company's Stock May Be Too Expensive. Don't Get Caught Out by the Latest Fad; It Probably Won't Last. If You See Major Funds Are Shunning a Stock, There's Usually Good Reason. Avoid Companies That Are Too Reliant on One or Two of Anything. Diversify or Bust: Too Much Money in One Stock May Ruin You. Ejecting at the 11th Hour. A Company Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. The SEC Launches a Full-Scale Probe into Possible Securities Fraud. The CEO or Another Top Company Official Is Arrested. A Company's Shares Are Delisted by a Stock Market Such As the NYSE. A Company Does a Reverse Stock Split to Remain Listed. A Company Is Facing a Large Number of Class-Action Lawsuits. A Prominent Short Seller Has a Company in His or Her Sights. 2. Pipedreams and Big Lies. When You Find the Big Lie, Everything Else Crumbles Around It. A Whiz-Bang Device Is Loved by Tech-Geeks, but the Masses Are Unenthusiastic. The Technology Is Great, but Its Price Is Too High for the Mainstream. If a Technology Is Said to Transform the World, It Is Being Over-Hyped. Journalists Are Often Wrong in Predicting the Success of a Deal or Product. When Money Is Easy to Raise, Be Alert for Companies Doomed to Fail. A Product Is Only Set to Reach a Niche, but Hopes Are Ramped Higher. First Company to Market May Not Be the One to Succeed with a Product. Technology Becomes Obsolete and Companies Can Easily Burn Up. Be Wary of Chasing the Prices of IPOs Soon After They Start Trading. 3. The Superstar CEO: Celebrities, Showmen, and Destroyers. The Quitter: When a CEO Leaves without an Explanation. When There Is Family Control, the Rights of Others May Be Trampled On. Beware the Worst Combo of All: An Aggressive CEO and a Compliant CFO. The CEO Bullies Everyone. The CEO Hypes a Company's Performance and Prospects. A CEO Is Caught Making Misleading Statements. When a CEO Is Abusive, It May Be a Sign of Major Problems. A CEO Is Built Up As the New Star Who Is Going to Fix Everything. When Senior Management Includes the Company's Former Auditors. When the CEO Is Known Best for Destroying Jobs and Slashing Costs. A CEO Known Best As a Serial Acquirer Rather Than a Builder. A CEO Who Blames Others for a Company's Ills. An Executive with a Dubious History: Beware Repeat Offenders. When Executives Buy Homes in Bankruptcy Havens Such As Florida. 4. Jets, Parachutes, and Stealth Wealth: Pay for Performance or Pay for Plundering. CEO Compensation Is Not Linked Closely with Performance. When Stock Options Are Handed to Executives Like There's No Tomorrow. When Top Executives Own Very Little of Their Company's Stock. If a Company Rewards Failure by Re-Pricing Stock Options. If a Company Rewards Failure by Lowering Compensation-Linked Targets. Executives Making Money for Themselves from Company Business. When a Company Forgives Large Loans Made to Senior Executives. Big Payments Are Made to Executives for Their Work on a Takeover. When Boards Hand Out Massive Severance Packages to Failed Executives. Executives Retire with Huge Packages, Including Costly Perks. Companies with Golden Parachutes for Any Kind of Takeover. If a CEO Is Protected by a Contract Even if Convicted of a Crime. When a CEO's Perks Are Excessive and Costly. When a Company Pays for Private Jet Travel, Clubs, and Agents' Fees. If an Executive Is a Philanthropist with Shareholders' Mo
