"“Like others I’ve met who worked in the Regan White House, Jim Pinkerton has a sharp mind and is an independent thinker. Directional Investing is full of great economic and historic anecdotes and frameworks that are helpful to understand and think about the past, and also how to understand—and shape—the future.” -- Joe Lonsdale, Founder of Palantir and 8VC “You can’t control the outcome of American politics, but you can still make money. That is the message of Jim Pinkerton in The Secret of Directional Investing. Don’t believe the doomsayers: America’s divisions create profit opportunities. It’s all about ‘being in the right place at the right time’ insists Pinkerton—a Washington insider who helps you position yourself in today’s battles between Red and Blue. Perhaps most important, he shows how you can, indeed, should shape as well as spot money-making trends."" -- Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute “Where the business climate and the political climate come together, opportunities are to be found—and when the subject is political and economic climate change, James Pinkerton knows which way the winds are blowing.” -- Michael Lind, author of <I>Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States</I> “Jim Pinkerton, widely reputed to be the smartest man in Washington, has always had an uncanny ability to see around corners. Now future-minded readers can profit from Pinkerton's boundless curiosity, voracious reading, brilliant synthesis, and visionary insight. And despite the book's unflinching prediction that Red America and Blue America are becoming opposed and incompatible tribes, there's comfort in the conclusion that the country ultimately can live with its differences—and that wise investors will reap benefits from the new national arrangements.” -- Geoffrey Kabaservice, Vice President for Political Studies at the Niskanen Center"
