Great Companies, Great Returns
Tired of gambling away your savings on investments that don't pay off?Buy Companies, Not Stocks. This simple phrase is the foundation of veteran consultant Jim Huguet's innovative approach to investing, a strategy that focuses on the lasting strengths of the companies you're investing in and yields great returns that consistently outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

In Great Companies, Great Returns, Jim Huguet explains the twelve traits that separate Great Companies from the rest. After decades of working closely with the Fortune 500 and top CEOs as a consultant, Huguet used his valuable experience to research which companies were likely to give the best returns in order to invest his own money. The twelve key traits he discovered--which look at the business as a whole, not just the stock price--form the basis for his groundbreaking strategy.The fourteen companies that make the cut, including such superstars as GE, Coca-Cola, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as some surprises like AIG and Medtronic, fulfill all twelve requirements, and form a perfect list of stocks that investors can use to create a Great Company portfolio.

You Send Me
In 1957, already one of the biggest stars in gospel music, Sam Cooke burst onto the pop scene with the number one hit "You Send Me," the first in a string of rock & roll classics. He quickly became one of music business's first African-American entrepreneurs, as well as a role model in the early years of the civil rights struggle. Then, at age thirty-three, he was found dead, shot through the heart in a seedy motel in south Los Angeles. The circumstances surrounding his death would remain a controversial mystery for years to come.

Send Me Someone
A remarkable account of a match made in HeavenIn the movie Ghost, the passionate moment when Patrick Swayze is able to reach out to Demi Moore from the other side touched people's hearts in a way that few movies do. Does life continue after death? Can a departed loved one change the course of our lives? Send Me Someone shows us that the answer is "yes." In this first-person memoir, Diana von Welanetz Wentworth tells the story of a powerful love affair and how it came to encompass dimensions beyond what she considered possible. From the beginning, Diana Webb and Paul von Welanetz were a storybook couple. In the enchantment of their first days together, the two became absorbed by a chemistry that endured through twenty-five years of marriage. Diana and Paul shared everything, personally and professionally. Their passion for cooking, entertaining, and bringing people together led them to successful careers as award-winning cookbook authors, hosts of a television show, and later as founding directors of The Inside Edge, a prominent human potential organization. Regarded by friends as a perfect match, they were even named "One of L.A.'s Most Romantic Couples" by Los Angeles magazine in 1986.But one day, in 1988, everything changed. They discovered that their adventure together was to be cut short when Paul was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Diana was devastated. In rapidly declining health, he told her, "I don't want you to be alone." She replied impulsively, "Then send me someone!" Paul responded, "I will."That promise, and its aftermath, is the extraordinary story at the heart of Send Me Someone. Diana relates how, after Paul's death, she became aware that he was still "present" in her life and actively concerned with her well-being. Within months, fate introduced her to a new man-Ted Wentworth, a prominent attorney who had lost his wife to cancer. Ted seemed so unlike the dreamy, romantic Paul. He was realistic, funny, mischievous, even a little confrontational. But Diana soon began to appreciate Ted's depth and wisdom, along with his edgy sense of the ridiculous. Despite their obvious differences, the two fell in love.Ted, as it turned out, has a well-developed intuitive sense, and as their relationship developed, he revealed something that astonished Diana: he felt a startling inner connection to Paul von Welanetz! In fact, a series of remarkable occurrences soon convinced them both that Ted was indeed the "someone" Paul promised to send. Send Me Someone is both a romantic love story and a credible account of communication with someone from "the other side." As such, it occupies a unique niche while straddling two enormously popular genres. This inspiring book offers hope and reassurance that death is not the end. It is an engaging, real-life tale that love, once known, never really dies. Send Me Someone is, without a doubt, the most compelling love story of the y
The Company
"I, Jeronimus, am a man of phials, a measurer of powders on bronze scales, a potion brewer, an opium and arsenic merchant. The primped and perfumed Amsterdam burghers came to me in droves requiring cures for fevers, love balms, the miscarriage of a bastard child, and, of course, poisons. Ah, poisons." So speaks Jeronimus Cornelisz, a thirty-year-old apothecary who transforms before our eyes into a murderous madman. The Company is a novel based on the 1629 voyage of the Dutch East India Company flagship Batavia, bound for the colonies with a cargo of untold riches. Among the passengers is Cornelisz, a man ousted from polite society by sordid rumors of necromancy. Corrupt to the very marrow of his soul, Cornelisz considers himself God's equal, the rightful heir to gold, silver -- even another man's wife. So twisted is he by lust and greed that he incites a mutiny, running the ship aground on a reef. All is lost -- the ship is wrecked, its passengers dying, the treasure trashed at the bottom of the sea. "The apothecary will heal us," the survivors pray, believing themselves lucky to be alive. In the name of benevolence, Cornelisz seizes command of their island refuge. The brave castaways stir with hope -- until the killing begins. For forty frenzied days, Cornelisz decides who shall live and who shall die, leaving his victims with just one wish -- that they had gone down with the ship. Soaked with the blood of the innocent and the wicked, The Company plunges, with the weight of history, deep into the heart of darkness.
