PRESS RELEASE: January 18, 2007

John A Wiley & Sons
and Financial Wizard / Best Selling Author John Mauldin
Team Up to Publish Gary Marks' New Book, "Rocking Wall Street."

How did a professional rock songwriter living in Maui end up being a major player in the hedge fund world and the CEO of a large asset management firm?

You find that out in the intro. But the rest of the book is about rocking the traditional investing process to its core. The full title of the book is:

Rocking Wall Street

Four Powerful Strategies   
That will Shake Up
The Way You Invest,
Build Your Wealth,               
and Give You Your Life Back

The book covers hedge funds and funds of hedge funds; the dangers of traditional investing that most brokers do not want to talk about; the emotional part of the investing process; and, "The End Game," where you no longer have to play by traditional investing rules, or even invest at all!

The release date is February 9. The book will be distributed in hard cover and be sold in all major book stores in the US, UK, and Canada. www.RockingWallStreet.com

Most people in the financial world know who John Mauldin is, and are familiar with the publisher John A Wiley & Sons. But who is Gary Marks?

Gary Marks is the CEO of Sky Bell Asset Management, LLC, a US alternative investment management firm with offices in Tampa, New York, and Hawaii, currently managing hundreds of millions of dollars. He is also a professional rock singer-songwriter with a 30-year career in the music industry!

Over the past decade, Mr. Marks has researched thousands of private money managers, hedge funds, and mutual funds. He is well respected in the securities industry for his unique ability to synthesize his research into investment programs that have seen success in both bull and bear markets.

His other career has met with equal success. At 23, in 1973, Gary released the first of ten critically acclaimed recordings.  

That record, “Gathering,” is being re-released as “a rock-jazz classic" and distributed internationally by the European record company, Kindred Spirits and its distributor, K7. Release is scheduled within weeks of the “Rocking Wall Street” release.

Gary’s newest recording, “A Whisper Can Change the World” will be released on Marks’ web site the day Rocking Wall Street comes out in stores. It will be available on CD 4-6 weeks later.
