Praise for

SMALL STOCKS, BIG MONEY

"Drawn from his collective experience with business gurus and his firsthand interactions with people who have built great companies and high–growth sectors of the U.S. economy, this book should serve as every entrepreneur′s reference guide. Each chapter elucidates a seminal business figure and helps you to tap into the background, the thinking process, and the economic environment surrounding these hallmark business decisions.
