Services, goods, and basic materials will probably undergo major price swings at one time or another during the next 20 years. The markets are volatile, and they will only keep increasing. The chances for sustainable trends that last for decades, and the way the stock market rallied in the ‘80s and ‘90s are now less likely than they were a few years ago. Trading options and futures is not gambling. It is speculating. It is also about gathering information, and making judgment calls on circumstances that are unfolding. Futures and options trading is a process of self-protection, and continuing education. What you will learn in this book The futures markets are resurging. They are also likely to be hot for many years, given the political landscape.

As a futures and options trader, you need to do the same with your contract.

Download or read book Beyond Basketballs written by Bill Bishop and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-12-22 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Revolutionary Way To Build A Successful Business In A Post-Product World If you are trying to build a successful business in todays economy, read this book. Authored by Bill Bishop, one of the worlds leading business coaches to entrepreneurial companies, this book outlines a new, revolutionary way to build a successful business in a post-product world. For the past 200 years, weve built companies around specific products and services, Bishop says. But that product-first model is now obsolete due to accelerating change, increasing competition, and instant communication. Companies that keep using these old models will fail to grow, and may even go out of business all together. To be successful in this new environment, you need to use a new post-product business model, one built around relationships, not products. This model, while simple in its structure, is revolutionary because it creates a completely different kind of company; an enterprise that prospers because it takes advantage of accelerating change, increasing competition, and instant communication. Based on Bill Bishops work coaching more than 4,000 companies over a 25-year period, this book will open your eyes to incredible possibilities and opportunities, and get you excited again about your business. As Bishop says: Once you understand this new model, you realize that our society has only created 1% of the worlds potential value, that another 99% of new wealth is possible for people who are willing to think differently.

Book excerpt: Prevention Diaries offers a reintroduction to the simple principles of prevention and an illustration of how its applications can benefit health and welfare in individuals and populations. Written for a general audience, it outlines unexpected (but empirically predictable) factors that shape our health and happiness, all of which can be situated through prevention: How do trees help reduce violence? What do roads have to do with chronic disease? Through the novelty of connecting seemingly disparate societal factors, Cohen makes a case for the reinstitution of simple upstream measures that reap downstream benefits.
