Publisher's summary
Investment analyst and portfolio manager Hilary Kramer-called "a one-woman financial investment powerhouse" by the Financial Times - provides a blueprint for investors to navigate the rapidly changing trends in today's economy.
Kramer's investment style puts her ahead of the curve as she relentlessly researches to find the next big company to invest in long before anyone else does. In doing so, over the past three decades, she has generated more than $100 billion in wealth for people by putting in the hard work for them, the old-fashioned way-researching and analyzing the fundamentals of a stock, one company at a time. Using that same strategy, Gamechanger Investing helps listeners navigate the current political climate, understand the enormous potential Trump has for creating wealth, and offers up 10 investable trends and 24 must-own stocks that will make you rich through a second Trump term. A graduate of Wellesley College and The Wharton School of Business, Kramer began her career in the investment banking division of Morgan Stanley, making her first million dollars by age 30 and retiring at age 37. Now, she's helping engaged investors get rich, too.
