Mark Tier

Mark Tier, an Australian based in Hong Kong, started writing when he was 14—and hasn’t stopped since. His first work, Understanding Inflation, was a bestseller in his native Australia in 1974. That was followed by The Nature of Market Cycles, How To Get A Second Passport, and The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros, which has been published in 3 English (New York, London, & Hong Kong) and 11 other-language editions. Once labelled “the Eclectic Investor” for his wide range of interests (he has been a soldier, businessman, publisher, investment analyst, counsellor, coach, writer, investor, speaker, editor, foreign correspondent, and even co-founded a political party), he co-edited two science fiction anthologies which won a Prometheus Award in 2005, an analysis of Christianity, When God Speaks for Himself, a political thriller, Trust Your Enemies, and Ayn Rand's 5 Surprisingly Simple Rules for Judging Politicians: Never be fooled by a politician again. His latest book is How to Spot the Next Starbucks, Whole Foods, Walmart or McDonald's--BEFORE its shares explode (visit www.marktier.com for more).
