Keynes and the Market

keynes and the marketKeynes and the Market: How the Worlds Greatest Economist Overturned Conventional Wisdom and Made a Fortune on the Stock Market 
Publisher: Wiley (October 6, 2008)
 

One of the most influential and unexpected economic luminaries of his time and the original value investor, John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas, called Keynesian economics, had a major impact on modern economic and political theory as well as on many governments’ fiscal policies. Keynes explored new economic thoughts through speculating heavily in foreign markets and becoming one of the first proponents of investing in common stocks. Keynes was a world-changing economist who, almost uniquely among his professional brethren, also mastered the financial markets in practice. His theories uncannily prefigure those of Warren Buffett and other well-known value investors. He is particularly remembered for advocating interventionist government policy, by which the government would use fiscal and monetary measures to aim to mitigate the adverse effects of economic recessions, depressions, and books. Economists consider him one of the main founders of modern theoretical macroeconomics.

This book sheds new light on both the personal and professional aspects of Keynes’ life that helped shape his economic theories, and in turn, those of today’s financial leaders by outlining Keynes’ 6 key investment principles. 

From the Inside Flap
John Maynard Keynes was a many-sided figure—world-changing economist, architect of the post-War international monetary system, bestselling author, a Baron in the House of Lords, and key member of the Bloomsbury group.

One of his lesser-known talents was the ability to make vast sums of money on the stock market. At the time of his death, Keynes’ net worth—almost entirely built through successful stock investments—amounted to the present-day equivalent of more than $30 million, and the college endowment fund he managed had massively outperformed the broader market over a two-decade period. Keynes was a member of that rare breed—an economist who flourished not only in the rarefied heights of ivory tower academia, but also amidst the bustle and hubbub of the financial markets.

But can an analysis of this particular incarnation of Keynes—the shrewd stock picker and star fund manager—be of any benefit to the modern investor? The answer, author Justyn Walsh demonstrates, is a resounding yes. In this era of day traders, delta ratios, and dot-coms, Keynes’ observations on stock market behavior, in fact, are more relevant than ever.

The author reveals how, after twice being brought to the precipice of financial ruin as a result of financial speculation, Keynes developed the investment principles that would win him singular stock market success. He completely inverted his investment philosophy, switching from short-term speculator to a long-term investor—one who seeks to profit from pendulum swings in the market rather than participating in them. By effecting this transformation, Keynes became one of the world’s first value investors, the forefather of a long line of venerable and highly successful stock market practitioners such as Warren Buffett and Sir John Templeton.

Keynes and the Market is an entertaining guide to John Maynard Keynes’ amazing stock market success, weaving the economist’s value investing tenets around key events in his richly lived life. Accessible and informative, it identifies what modern masters of the market have taken from Keynes and used in their own investing styles—and what you too can learn from one of the greatest economic thinkers of the twentieth century.

the new paradigm for financial markets
The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means (Hardcover)
Publisher: PublicAffairs (May 5, 2008) 

In the midst of the most serious financial upheaval since the Great Depression, legendary financier George Soros explores the origins of the crisis and its implications for the future. Soros, whose breadth of experience in financial markets is unrivaled, places the current crisis in the context of decades of study of how individuals and institutions handle the boom and bust cycles that now dominate global economic activity. “This is the worst financial crisis since the 1930s,” writes Soros in characterizing the scale of financial distress spreading across Wall Street and other financial centers around the world. In a concise essay that combines practical insight with philosophical depth, Soros makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the great credit crisis and its implications for our nation and the world.

Review

Tucson Citizen
“Brilliant…examines a complex problem with both insight and philosophical depth….A much-needed contribution that should help many of us better understand the great credit crisis and what it means, not just for the United States but the entire world.”
 
BBC Business editor Robert Peston
“Totally compelling”
 
The London Times “They’re wrong about oil, by George: In short, the standard economic assumption that supply and demand drive prices is only a starting point for understanding financial markets. In boom-bust cycles, the textbook theory is not just slightly inaccurate but totally wrong. This is the main argument made by George Soros in his fascinating book on the credit crunch, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets, launched at an LSE lecture last night.”
 
Reuters
“Soros says market rebound a bear-market rally: Billionaire hedge-fund manager George Soros said at LSE on Wednesday that the current rebound in stock markets is only a bear-market rally, because monetary authorities are unlikely to be able to handle the credit crisis.”

the snowball : warren buffett
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
Publisher: Bantam (September 29, 2008) 

Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to him his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom. The result is the personally revealing and complete biography of the man known everywhere as “The Oracle of Omaha.”

Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world’s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term “simple.”

When Alice Schroeder met Warren Buffett she was an insurance industry analyst and a gifted writer known for her keen perception and business acumen. Her writings on finance impressed him, and as she came to know him she realized that while much had been written on the subject of his investing style, no one had moved beyond that to explore his larger philosophy, which is bound up in a complex personality and the details of his life. Out of this came his decision to cooperate with her on the book about himself that he would never write.

Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer’s questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates—opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett’s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people’s lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

DeMark Indicators

   Posted by: Wei   in books, in english, options

DeMark Indicators (Bloomberg Market Essentials: Technical Analysis) (Hardcover)
Publisher: Bloomberg Press (September 28, 2008)
 

Long a secret weapon for the hedge-fund elite, says Trader Monthly, the DeMark Indicators are now used by more than 35,000 traders. This book provides an easy-to-follow system for using the indicators to identify market turns as they happen. 

Author Jason Perl gives a concise introduction to thirty-nine of the DeMark Indicators, and then shows how to combine the indicators and time frames to achieve a higher probability of trading success.  

Thomas R. DeMark, the creator of the DeMark Indicators and one of the most well-respected practitioners of technical analysis wrote the Foreword to this book.   
 

This is the second book in the Bloomberg Market Essentials: Technical Analysis series, which covers the key elements of the most widely used technical analysis tools.  

Review
“Having observed his market calls real time over the years, I can say that Jason Perl’s application of the DeMark indicators distinguishes his work from industry peers when it comes to market timing. This book demonstrates how traders can benefit from his insight, using the studies to identify the exhaustion of established trends or the onset of new ones. Whether you’re fundamentally or technically inclined, Perl’s DeMark Indicators is an invaluable trading resource.”
– Leon G. Cooperman, chairman, Omega Advisors

“Jason Perl has created a trading primer that will help both the professional and the layman interpret the DeMark indicators, which I believe represent the most robust and powerful methods to track securities and establish timely investment positions. Think of DeMark Indicators as the Rosetta stone of market-timing technology.”
– John Burbank, founder and CIO, Passport Capital

“Jason Perl has taken the playbook from the market’s John Wooden, Tom DeMark, and translated it engagingly in a format that traders of all levels will appreciate. As one who has used these indicators for more than twenty years, I too am appreciative of Jason’s clarity.”
– Peter Borish, chairman and CEO, Computer Trading Corporation

“Jason Perl is the trader’s technician. DeMark indicators are a difficult subject matter, but Jason shows simply how the theory can be applied practically to markets. Whether you’re day-trading or taking medium-term positions, using the applications can only be of increased value.”
– David Kyte, founder, Kyte Group Limited

“Tom DeMark, the man whose work inspired this book, is a unique, interesting, and ofttimes iconoclastic technical analyst. Simply put, he thinks about the markets differently from the way you or I do. So why should you read this book? Because, having read it, you will almost certainly think about the markets and technical analysis differently.”
– John Bollinger, CFA, CMT, www.BollingerBands.com

Fibonacci Analysis

   Posted by: Wei   in books, in english, options

Fibonacci Analysis (Bloomberg Market Essentials: Technical Analysis) (Hardcover)

Only someone who is both a successful trader and a successful writer could pull off what Constance Brown has accomplished in this book: distilling Fibonacci analysis to two hundred or so comprehensive, clearly written, eminently practical pages.

Brown knows exactly what a professional trying to come up to speed on a new trading tool needs and she provides it, covering what Fibonacci analysis is, how it works, where it comes from, pitfalls and dangers, and, of course, how to use it. Basic trading strategies are touched upon in virtually every chapter.

Fibonacci analysis is one of the most popular technical analysis tools, yet it is often used incorrectly. Brown quickly clears up common misconceptions and moves on to show, step by step, the correct way to apply the technique in any market.

Those with Fibonacci analysis software will learn how to use it with maximum effectiveness; those without will chart the market the old-fashioned way. All will find answers to the trader’s most important questions:
Where is the market going?
At what level should my stop be entered?
Based on the size of my trading account, how much should I leverage into a trading position?
Can I tell if I am in trouble before my stop is hit?
How much should I buy or sell if given a second or third opportunity?

Occasional references to other tools–including Elliott Wave, W.D. Gann, and candlestick charts–and an extensive bibliography make this book richer for accomplished technical analysts without confounding the less experienced. Plentiful real-life examples and dozens of carefully annotated charts insure every reader will get maximum value from every minute spent with this book.

From the Back Cover
In Fibonacci Analysis, Constance Brown distills for traders the essentials of this little-understood but highly effective technical analysis tool. Emphasizing practical market applications that can be put to use immediately, this book:

Shows how to use Fibonacci ratios for price projections
Provides detailed charts of actual trading situations
Explains the importance of proportion when analyzing charts
Alerts traders to the most common errors
Describes how to identify false signals
