- By Robert T. Slee

A theoretical and practical guide that enables readers to make sound investment and financing decisions. This book is surveys the private capital markets--the major uncharted financial market. Representing nearly half of the U.S. gross national product, these markets are largely ignored, partially because of the difficulty obtaining information and because of the lack of a unified structure to approach them. This book provides a structured framework that owner-managers and their professional advisors can use to effectively deal with the complicated issues of valuation and capital structure and transfer issues.

Midas Managers: How Every Business They Touch Turns to Gold (Hardcover)

- By Robert T. Slee

Some super-successful business owners called Midas Managers have figured out how to create business wealth. These value creators are made not born, and they share a number of traits, such as: an ability to see "just over the horizon"; a reliance on strategy rather than tactics to achieve goals; stubborn contrarianism; and a capability of understanding and exploiting the behavior of others. It is not Slee's intent to create Midas Managers, as only the battlefields of life and business can do that. Rather, his intent is to share Midas strategies such that they can be copied and used by others. The book is organized around three topics: Arbitrage, Conceptual Business Models, and Private Finance. Written for owners, managers and advisors to private companies that want to change the value of their business.
