This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0 (A), Dresden Technical University (American Studies), language: English, abstract: This paper aims to collect opinions on the development of the stock markets since the 1990s. People from varying fields and backgrounds have written about the recent situation of the economy. First, there are economists like Yale professor Robert J. Shiller, whose book Irrational Exuberance coincided with the bursting of the bubble in 2000. Then there is political analyst Kevin Phillips who reconstructs and discusses the boom and decline of the markets in a political and historical context in Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich, or radical journalist Alexander Cockburn whose articles for publications like The New York Press and The Nation focus on the aspects of corporate fraud and the politics behind the market dilemma. Others, like financial economists Robert E. Hall and Alan Reynolds reject the idea of bubbles and argue that the recent decline of the stock markets is merely part of a normal economy cycle that may be derived from historical context as well as from mathematical equation.

Download or read book The Bear Book written by John Rothchild and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-04-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: October 28, 1997. The Dow drops 500 points. Investors the world over receive a startling reminder that "what goes up, must come down." It is a profoundly unsettling experience for those of us who have either forgotten or have never known the experience of a bear market. Half of the money invested in U.S. stocks in this century entered the market from 1991-1996, making the dark days of October memorable for their bloodletting. Overall, this was just a scratch, and despite the optimism of so many investors, history has shown that the bear attacks time and time again. John Rothchild, critically acclaimed author of the bestselling A Fool and His Money, isn't even afraid to face a full-fledged bear market. In his topical and timely new book, Rothchild reveals how to prepare psychologically and tactically for the looming debacle. Breaking from the pack of investment books which tacitly assume a bull market, The Bear Book focuses on protecting assets and minimizing losses during a bear market and on taking advantage of unique opportunities for profit. With customary flair and style, Rothchild chronicles the long history of bear markets, exploring in detail exactly what constitutes a bear market and how it affects us. Along with his own expertise, the author draws on respected and knowledgeable names such as Jim Rogers, Jim Grant, and Martin Zweig, among a host of prominent investment advisors, strategists, and fund managers. The result is a comprehensive chronicle that deftly and definitively fills the "bearish information gap." John Rothchild's masterful penchant for blending wit, good storytelling, and sound investment analysis makes The Bear Book both informative and vastly entertaining. He distinguishes the characteristics of past bear markets, examining what triggered them, how long they lasted-and why. He probes the unique psychology of bearish investing, concentrating on which types of investments generally do well during a downturn in the market. His often surprising answers to some straightforward, no-nonsense questions clarify, among other key issues, what can happen to mutual funds in a bear market, and exactly what the dangers are of selling short. Of critical importance is Rothchild's overview of the alternatives to stocks, including gold, bonds, and money market funds, as well as tips on what stocks to buy when the market starts to turn bullish again. For historical perspective, The Bear Book also includes a unique and eye-opening account of the Crash of '29 and its survivors. Profiles of prominent bearish investors-Roy Neuberger and Philip Carret, among them-contain illuminating long-term perspectives on the ups and downs of the stock market over the past fifty to seventy-five years. A bracing tonic for investors at all levels of experience, The Bear Book offers a veritable blueprint of the various stages of a typical bear market. It will prove invaluable to those of us who wish to protect our savings -and peace of mind -whenever the market drops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major bull and bear markets of this century have suggested to many that large decade-to-decade stock market swings reflect irrational quot;fads and fashionsquot; that periodically sweep investors. We argue instead that investors have perceived significant shifts in the long-run mean rate of future dividend growth. and that stock prices depend sufficiently sensitively on expectations about the underlying future growth rate that these perceived shifts would plausibly generate large swings like those of the twentieth century. We go on to document that analysts who have often been viewed as quot;smart moneyquot; held assessments of fundamental values based on their perceptions of future economic growth and technological progress: the judgments of these analysts, like the assessments of fundamentals we generate from simple dividend growth forecasting rules, track the major decade-to-decade swings in the market rather closely.
Download or read book Fear Greed and the End of the Rainbow written by Andrew Sarlos and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifteen years the bull has wrestled the bear into submission. But I am convinced that the bear's time will come. This century began with a bear market, which started in December of 1899 and hit bottom in June 1900, and it could very well end with one too. -- Andrew SarlosNorth Americans are frenetic about stocks, convinced the markets have nowhere to go but up. Each month, more and more novice investors pull their money out of stagnant bank accounts and low-interest GICs and plough them into mutual funds and similar investments. No one wants to be left out in the cold.As we approach the end of the twentieth century, the stock markets are enjoying an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity. Since the start of this most recent bull market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has recorded an extraordinary 800 per cent gain. In just two short years, it has smashed through the 4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000 barriers. But the market is increasingly volatile, swinging up and down from week to week.In Fear, Greed and the End of the Rainbow, Andrew Sarlos sounds a prescient alarm. History tells us, he says, that the market is based on a cycle of upswings and downswings, and that now the market is about to turn once again. By examining statistical data such as history and market trends, Sarlos makes a convincing argument for a coming market correction of immense proportions. He predicts this inevitable bear market will last into the next millennium.Those lucky enough to heed Sarlos's warnings, however, will be able to avoid what could be the biggest mistake of their investment careers. By protecting your money and preparing for the future, Sarlos shows you how not only tosurvive, but to prosper through the next stock market crash.Fear, Greed and the End of the Rainbow is arguably one of the best financial books of the late 20th century.... -- Quill & Quire...a provocative, immensely readable book. It's an essential for every investor. -- Quill &QuireSarlos' book is level-headed and thoroughly researched. -- Maclean's magazine

Download or read book Stock Cycles written by Michael A. Alexander and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-10-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Important reading for serious investors."-InvestorsInsight.com For most Americans, a 401k plan is their first exposure to investing. Many of us are relying on the stock market to provide for us in our retirement yet at the same time, most of us are afraid of the stock market. It's a valid concern. How can something so important to our financial future be so completely unpredictable? When Michael Alexander first started investing in the stock market, he noticed that few analysts seemed to have much knowledge of what the market has done in the past. While no one can give precise answers to questions about the future of the market and be right all the time, Alexander feels that it's possible to gain an understanding of the future of the stock market by studying its past. Analyzing years of historical data for patterns of behavior that might repeat in the future, Alexander provides strong statistical evidence for a cyclical pattern in the stock market. These Stock Cycles show that long periods of poor stock returns have always followed long periods of good returns. Are we in for good times or is the party over?
