On the other hand, that much money could easily go straight into someone else's purse. With that much money at stake, good negotiating practices become extremely valuable. Negotiating Your Investments provides the skills and tools you need to hold your own at the negotiating table while offering advice you can put to work immediately. Topics include:The elements of negotiation - identifying goals, interests, commitments, alternatives, and powerPreparation, information exchange, bargaining, and closing and commitment - the four phases of negotiationAsymmetric information, conflicts of interest, professionalism, and whom to trustInvestment vehicles and the economic science that lies behind wise investingHard economic truths involving past results, rational market pricing, diversification, interest rates, and the effect of costs on investment returnsWhile the focus is on personal finance, the book also includes techniques, analysis, and examples drawn from award winning negotiation courses.
