Download or read book Full of Bull Updated Version written by Stephen T. McClellan and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the truth about stock analysts’ research. The Truth About Wall Street Stock Research–Now 100% Updated for Today’s Markets! They mislead. They confuse. You can’t afford to listen to one word stock analysts say–especially not right now. Wall Street won’t tell you how to protect your capital or steer you toward gains. The Street is good at selling, not analyzing; it wants you to trade, not invest. In Full of Bull, one of the Street’s leading insiders reveals the hidden code behind Wall Street’s Byzantine practices. For decades, Stephen McClellan was one of the Street’s top analysts–he knows exactly how the game is played. Now, in this revised guide for the individual investor, he describes how Wall Street came to cost investors billions by denying the realities of a market collapse in progress. He explains how a congenitally favorable bias led brokerages to keep recommending stocks, such as AIG and Fannie Mae, up until the moment of their ultimate demise. In Full of Bull, you’ll learn how to look for analysts’ favoritism and blind spots; how to react appropriately to upgrades, downgrades, and price targets; and how to recognize what company announcements really mean. Drawing on his immense body of experience analyzing top companies, McClellan shows you how to systematically evaluate a company’s prospects and choose investments based on principles that work. This is exactly the kind of objective, focused guidance you won’t be getting from your broker!

Download or read book Wall Street A History Updated Edition written by Charles R. Geisst and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street is an unending source of legend--and nightmares. It is a universal symbol of both the highest aspirations of economic prosperity and the basest impulses of greed and deception. Charles R. Geisst's Wall Street is at once a chronicle of the street itself--from the days when the wall was merely a defensive barricade built by Peter Stuyvesant--and an engaging economic history of the United States, a tale of profits and losses, enterprising spirits, and key figures that transformed America into the most powerful economy in the world. The book traces many themes, like the move of industry and business westward in the early 19th century, the rise of the great Robber Barons, and the growth of industry from the securities market's innovative financing of railroads, major steel companies, and Bell's and Edison's technical innovations. And because "The Street" has always been a breeding ground for outlandish characters with brazen nerve, no history of the stock market would be complete without a look at the conniving of ruthless wheeler-dealers and lesser known but influential rogues. This updated edition covers the historic, almost apocalyptic events of the 2008 financial crisis and the overarching policy changes of the Obama administration. As Wall Street and America have changed irrevocably after the crisis, Charles R. Geisst offers the definitive chronicle of the relationship between the two, and the challenges and successes it has fostered that have shaped our history.

Download or read book The Wolf of Investing written by Jordan Belfort and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the “raw and frequently hilarious” (The New York Times) investment guru and New York Times bestselling author of The Wolf of Wall Street who inspired the Oscar-winning film of the same name, a witty and clear-eyed guide for anyone who wants to play the stock market to their advantage and learn the secrets of a top Wall Street investor. From Jordan Belfort, author of The Way of the Wolf and subject of the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street, comes his long-anticipated guide for mastering the stock market. The Wolf of Investing teaches you when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment books, each page of Jordan’s lessons, colorful stories, and principles entertains you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the silver screen by Leonardo DiCaprio. When Belfort’s brother-in-law, Fernando, lost nearly $100,000 dollars in investments in under sixty days, Jordan sat him down for some tough love. Using the financial acumen and insider’s knowledge he learned during his time working on Wall Street, Jordan taught Fernando how to turn his portfolio around. Along the way, he explained which decisions were bad and why, as well as how to pivot from failure to success. Belfort teaches you everything you need to know about savvy investing—even if, like Fernando, whatever stock you’ve touched has turned to yesterday’s trash. As you read this guide, you will not only learn life’s most profitable lessons, but you’ll also laugh out loud at Belfort’s brazen honesty and salty wit. After being enraged by watching big banks steal money from individual investors, and determined to right the wrongs of his own infamous past, Belfort now shows regular investors how we can use Wall Street to our advantage. Whether you’re new to investing or want to take your portfolio to the next level, you will learn everything Belfort knows about the stock market from The Wolf of Investing.

Download or read book Wall Street Speculation written by Franklin C. Keyes and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a peculiar feature of Wall Street speculation that the novice never gets his courage worked up to buy stocks until the market is right on the top, and he never concludes to sell until the market is clear on the bottom.-from Wall Street SpeculationWhy small traders shouldn't rely on brokers. Why you shouldn't trust the financial "news" in the business press. How the market is manipulated into decline and panic by savvy insiders. In a 1904 lecture, reproduced in this slim but provocative volume, Franklin Keyes explained in simple language a nugget of wisdom that should be commonsense: the general public cannot avoid getting fleeced by the buccaneers of Wall Street. Keyes's words are shocking but, in retrospect, obvious, and still highly pertinent today. You'll never look at a stock-market report in the same way again.FRANKLIN C. KEYES was a New York lawyer.

Download or read book Ten Years of Wall Street written by Barnie F. Winkelman and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One charlatan opens an account with a broker, gives a few orders for purchase and sale, and, if the market turns against him, brings suit on the ground that a selling order has been erroneously executing as a buying order or vice versa.... A few on the outer fringe of finance make a living out of this racket. One notorious swindler had successive suits against many brokerage houses. They were brought by different attorneys, some in his own name and some in the names of relatives... -from "Broker and Customer in Court" The stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression did not occur in a vacuum: their roots lie in economic events that occurred over the previous ten years. This book performs a financial autopsy on the "speculative decade" from 1919 to 1929, exploring the ruinous aftermath of World War I-in which war debts were contested and battles over reparations set the stage for a difficult international monetary situation-as well as the natural waxing and waning of economic cycles and the processes and procedures of stock exchanges that contributed to disaster. Written by a lawyer and emphasizing a legal perspective on the workings of a complex economy, this classic work of high finance offers a unique panorama on an important era of American history that is often overlooked. BARNIE F. WINKELMAN (b. 1894) also wrote Modern Chess (1931) and John D Rockefeller (1937), among other books.

Download or read book Wall Street Speculation Its Tricks and Its Tragedies written by Franklin Keyes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an early 20th century work on Wall Street and the stock market, particularly speculation. From the intro: "Wall Street speculation is the most stupendous game known to the world of chance; as compared with it, the game at Monte Carlo pales into utter insignificance; in no other game are the stakes so high, is success so transitory and failure so overwhelming. It is a game in which the wealth of Croesus changes hands in a single hour, a game in which a few manipulators behind the scenes pile up millions on top of more millions year after year; but in which the vast majority of the outside public, who tamper with it, go to financial and often to physical and moral ruin. Many, who are unacquainted with Wall Street methods, regard speculation in stocks, on a margin, as legitimate business; this however is an error, which we may as well acknowledge first as last; it is, as I say, a game, run by Wall Street's millionaires and multimillionaires, who since the organization of the Stock Exchange have succeeded in filching from the pockets of the general public, without giving any equivalent whatever, untold millions. The public's annual average of loss to Wall Street has usually been estimated in former years, at $100,000,000 per annum; but owing to the more recent enterprising methods of the "Street" in manipulating the game, this estimate is now far too small, as we shall see."

Download or read book The Man Who Solved the Market written by Gregory Zuckerman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award The unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm--and made $23 billion doing it. Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor--Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros--can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth twenty-three billion dollars. Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world. As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit. The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons's revolution means for the rest of us.
