The Financial Mango Tree Summary The Financial Mango Tree shows investors and potential investors how to read the markets for themselves so that they can prosper in today s economy rather than be ruined by it. The book s goal is to teach readers the problems with today s market and the use of paid analysts and brokerages, and to give a valid alternative to gold. Written by Bruce Sands, an expert in the field of precious metals, Financial Mango Tree aims to provide the fruit of knowledge so that others can get ahead in these dire economic times. The book opens by informing readers that if they know how to manage a business, they can learn how to manage their portfolio too. Market advisers rarely agree with each other and often use a lot of smoke and mirrors to make things look complex because they are paid to be experts; for if you can figure out how to invest on your own, then there s no need to pay them. Teaching yourself to invest, Mr. Sands tells us, hinges upon effort, education, research, quality advice, trial and error, and a willingness to adapt. Warning that brokerages risk nothing but your money, which they invest according to their own motivations, Mr. Sands points out that you never hear of refunds on losses, but frequently hear of people losing their entire savings with a broker. Next, he points out that you never hear of anyone going broke from investing in gold, and reiterates that all you need to succeed is the willingness to go through the work yourself rather than trusting someone with your hard-earned money. The Financial Mango Tree is Mr. Sands metaphor an individual s mango tree is filled with information, which, when ripened via education and the tools conveyed through this book, will steadily grow into the sweetened fruit of wealth, ripe for you to pick. Mr. Sands thoroughly educates readers on the history of gold and its merits, especially in a fiat currency system, explaining how the stimulus plans have further watered down a fiat dollar tha
