This book contains original poetry by Roger Davis, complemented by a selection of Bahá'í prayers and writings, on the subject of those spiritual realities that are essential and imperishable. The poems describe a deeply personal pilgrimage toward our mutual fate: our inescapable confrontation with mortality and our connection to the eternal. We all must come to terms with the inevitable demise of our physical bodies and capacities; this challenge gained intensity and urgency for the poet when his brother Rick was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most lethal and aggressive form of brain cancer. Rick's year-long battle with this merciless disease only served to highlight the spirit of enthusiasm, laughter, kindness and love with which he lived his life-the spirit honored in this book as his imperishable light. These poems, written in accessible, easy-going verse, convey the poet's not-so-easy personal grief and deep longing for answers and hope. The Bahá'í writings are offered as possible answers and a clear expression of hope for anyone searching for a deeper understanding of the nature of the human soul and its continued reality after death. The 40 poems, sometimes metaphoric, sometimes anguished, other times joyful or humorous, are offered in the hope that others might find them helpful in their pilgrimage through grief to that which is essential and imperishable.

Do you consider yourself a long-term investor? If so, chances are you have parked your money with an advisor and pay little attention to its performance and even less to the amount of risk in your portfolio. You may be told by Wall Street to buy stocks or funds and hold them, or to create a diverse portfolio to protect yourself from risk and downturns in the market. Truth be told, new studies show this approach may not be serving the long-term investor well.  In his new book, Roger Davis reveals point-blank that Wall Street''s just not that into you. Drawing on an investment career spanning more than two decades, Davis delivers a dynamic and deadly accurate analysis of Wall Street''s "one-size-fits-all" approach--and why even wealthy investors should be wary.  Davis, who has two decades of experience managing funds, raises valid questions about traditional investment techniques, exposing the inherent dangers of relying on any one technique as a primary risk management tool. As a reader, you will be taught critical, innovative strategies like how to stress test your portfolio and "lose your losers." Davis reveals that most investors are less concerned about making a sizeable return on their investments than they are about protecting their wealth; yet many investors have the same unprotected exposure to the stock market that they did in 2008. This book offers investors specific steps they can take to reduce investment risk and the right questions to ask of their current advisors to understand whether they should make a change. Refreshingly candid and highly informative, Wall Street''s Just Not That Into You offers a bold and thought-provoking alternative to the many books that offer up the same old principles of years gone by.
