Timeless business acumen

P. T. Barnum, entertainment pioneer, knew how to make money and how to keep it -- by wisely investing and knowing to spend less than what's earned.

OUTSTANDING!

If the Wall Street "elite" would have followed Mr. Barnum's concepts we would not be in this horrible financial crisis! This book is timeless and everyone should read it!
