Peter J. Tanous Knihy

From Peter J. Tanous, author of the critically acclaimed Investment Gurus and The Wealth Question , comes a clear and accessible collection of one-on-one interviews with technology sector gurus, that offer sharp insight into what makes these movers, shakers, and investors not only succeed against economic odds, but actually thrive. In Investment Visionaries , Tanous' subjects-who range from the visionaries behind Intel, Apple, Cisco, and Human Genome Sciences to legendary venture capitalists-prove that the technology sector remains an absolutely viable means for successful investing today. Tanous, with four decades of high-visibility money management and investment experience under his belt, not only has access to the right experts but the knowledge base to ask the right questions, resulting in an accurate, accessible guide that no investor-at any level-can afford to be without.

The time—tomorrow, or the day after. The war between Saudi Arabia and Iran is going badly for the Saudis; they need more and better tanks and they need them quickly. John Haddad, a young Wall Street banker, is chosen by the Saudis to undertake a deal so amazing that, at first he can scarcely believe it himself. For Haddad, commission is to buy out General Motors. And all the Saudis need to make that possible is the income from 18 weeks' oil production... 18 weeks "Petrodollars." Their plan would shake the world... and to make it work they'd use skill, sex, subterfuge, but mostly money! Tanous and Rubinstein, both Wall Street men, have used their experience and inside-knowledge brilliantly to create tomorrow's story today.
