WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - PennZone -- A Dollar for Fifty Cents: Proven Strategies to Outperform the Market with Closed-End Funds by Michael Joseph, CFA, has officially reached the #1 spot in Amazon's New Releases in Bonds Investing—a full week before its scheduled release on April 24, 2025.

Published by IW$ Press, the new financial imprint of Kallisti Publishing Inc., the book is already being hailed as one of the most important investing titles of the year. In a market dominated by passive strategies and overpriced assets, Joseph's book offers investors a rare and proven edge: how to buy $1 worth of assets for just 50 cents using the overlooked power of closed-end funds (CEFs).

"This is incredibly humbling," said Michael Joseph. "I wrote this book to help serious investors rediscover real value—and to see it resonating with readers before it's even officially out is just extraordinary. It tells me that people are hungry for strategies that go beyond conventional thinking."

Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Warren Buffett's first shareholder letter, the release of A Dollar for Fifty Cents connects classic value investing wisdom with one of the few remaining inefficiencies in today's markets. CEFs, which often trade well below their net asset value, provide informed investors with a vehicle to generate above-average returns—if they know how to evaluate them.

"The early success of Michael's book confirms what we've known all along—this is not just a book, it's a market-shifting insight," said Anthony Raymond, publisher at IW$ Press. "This is the kind of publishing we're committed to at IW$ Press: bold, practical, wealth-building strategies that actually work in the real world."

In the book, readers will learn:

• Why closed-end funds trade at discounts—and how to benefit from it
• The five key metrics to evaluate CEFs for long-term success
• How activist investors create unique opportunities in the space
• How to avoid common pitfalls and yield traps in high-dividend funds
