NASHVILLE, Ind., May 7, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Most people know the children's fable about the grasshopper and the ants. As the story goes, the grasshopper played around all summer while the ants toiled and stocked up food. When winter came, the grasshopper had nothing and the ants were rich. It is the principles behind this story that inspire the new book, Personal Investing Nature's Way (now available through 1stBooks), by Charles A. Cody.
Cody presents a simple, easily read, humorous, blithe, weathered and proven approach at personal investing. Describing real-life stories and events, he weaves allegorical stories, involving squirrels, mice, beavers, porcupines, crows, running streams, apple trees and weeds, which occurred in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania. In clear, simple language, Cody recounts the stories and reveals the principles behind them. Through analysis of the situations, he applies them to money and personal investing, leading to sound, simple investment techniques that are Mother Nature tested and proven.
Cody will help the reader learn "how to grow really productive tomato plants," what to do with hungry porcupines and why the rivers keep rolling, while giving them sound financial advice. There is the little-known secret of the benefit of squirrels as financial advisors, why people say "busy as a beaver" and why a dead crow is never seen at the side of the road. Personal Investing Nature's Way is an age-old method unlocked for monetary benefit for the first time.
"Read, enjoy and then practice these simple ideas to build your personal wealth. Don't fool with Mother Nature," Cody states.
Cody, or as he is known, "the Old Country Storyteller," was born in Baltimore, then moved to Colorado as a teenager. He later earned a doctorate in physical chemistry from the University of Maryland. He has held various scientific, managerial and executive positions in the chemical industry, leading him to secure 50 U.S. patents, write 30 scientific journal articles and organize numerous scientific presentations including five international meetings. A lifelong hunter and fisher, he owns 100 acres in north central Pennsylvania, the observation ground for Personal Investing Nature's Way, his first book.
