A Wall Street insider draws back the curtain on how financial firms take advantage of individual investors―and delivers the information and insights you need to turn the tables
Nationwide brokerage firms have perfected the secrets for how to legally fool the rest of us into giving them our hard-earned money.
Written by a renowned leader and financial reform advocate who has seen every trick in the book firsthand, Outsmart the Money Magicians reveals how biased the financial system often is, and helps you see through the illusions, understand exactly what is happening with your money, and make investing and tax decisions accordingly. You’ll learn everything there is to know about how often Wall Street and the IRS rely on hard-to-see deceptions that encourage the public to behave a certain way, including:
- Encouraging people to save a fixed amount each month in an illusion called Pay Yourself First
- Hiding the profits created by dividends and rebalancing, to motivate people to sell investments worth keeping
- Leveraging fear of the higher “tax bracket” to incentivize us to spend more money on government-approved deductions
- Giving every member of their salesforce the same “advisor” title even though they often have very different offerings like mortgages, insurance, and credit cards
- Forcing advisors to use their customers like products whenever they change firms
- Refusing to commit in writing to a service model regular people can understand and appreciate
At a time of heightened confusion, anxiety, and mistrust of our financial institutions, Outsmart the Money Magicians provides anyone who is concerned about their personal finances with invaluable insider insights and practices for avoiding the most common financial traps created by the IRS and Wall Street. The book arms you with the information you need to see your money, your advisors, and your investment firms with full clarity, so you can make the best possible decisions when it comes to building your portfolio.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Marlton Books, Bridgeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
