Praise for Trade the Congressional Effect
"Once in a while, an idea, a small gem, comes along that reflects the whole world. Singer's book is it, a thesis to live from, learn from, and make money from. Singer provides that which we all long for: a way to make money from political insight."
--Amity Shlaes, author, The Forgotten Man
"Thanks to Mark Twain, we know that nobody's 'life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.' Now, thanks to Eric Singer, we know why, and what to do about it. In these pages, he admirably succeeds in the important task he has set for himself. To wit: how to protect yourself, and your net worth, from the depredations of Congress. "
--James Grant, Editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer
"The author's straightforward idea--that Congress harms wealth creation--provides many insights into politics, the economy, and investing. Trade the Congressional Effect will appeal to serious investors, as well as policy wonks and libertarians ... but it should be taken to heed by the 535 men and women who pass some of their days on Capitol Hill. Some surprising insights--a devastating attack on Modern Portfolio Theory ... a look at what caused the Great Depression ... Congressmen as traders and speculators ... the effect of split governments, lame ducks, and litigated elections on the stock market ... Reading Trade the Congressional Effect will provide much guidance about Congress's 'unintended consequences' that are so persistent, casually dangerous, and impoverishing."
