Download or read book Deviate To Win Insights From A Turnaround Investor written by Jason Ader and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the good fortune to be mentored by financial industry visionaries Ron Baron and Alan Greenberg, Jason learned to think outside the box and challenge conventional wisdom early in his career. Companies can fall out of favor with the investment herd and see their share price plunge, not because of diminished inherent value but because of programmed trading volatility and a lack of accurate, reliable information. In some instances, poor performance is due to misdirected or disengaged leadership. These situations often present investment opportunities for seasoned turnaround investors like Jason Ader. One of the key principles of Jason's unique investment perspective is that "the crowd is usually wrong." When industry analysts reach a consensus view about a stock, he often reaches the opposite conclusion. Jason's approach is not that of what is typically referred to as an activist investor--hostile, flamboyant and boisterous--but rather that of a corporate collaborator, a sympathetic advocate for uncovering value, enhancing performance, and achieving a higher stock price for shareholders. Jason's history of successful turnaround investments spans a variety of industries and includes Las Vegas Sands Corp., Bwin Interactive Entertainment, The Stars Group Inc., International Game Technology, Papa John's Pizza, First Bank of Nevada, Adelie Foods Group, and others. In his book, Jason explains his unconventional analysis that uncovers underperforming companies with underlying value, and the solutions that helped return them to profitability and restore shareholder value.

Download or read book The Sceptical Investor written by John Stepek and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to be a contrarian investor. From the hedge funds who bet against the US housing market in the run up to 2008, to George Soros's billion-dollar bet against the Bank of England in 1992, some of the most famous and most profitable trades in history have been contrarian calls. And with the relentless growth of passive investing - investors blindly following the market - the opportunities for a smart investor to profit by betting against the crowd should be greater than ever. Yet being a contrarian is hard work. It takes patience, the conviction to stand by an unpopular viewpoint, and the mental toughness to endure being 'wrong' for prolonged periods of time. Standing out from the crowd goes against our every natural instinct. Which is, of course, why it works. So how do you go about it' There is no single, mechanical investment approach that marks an investor out as a contrarian. Instead, you need to adopt a sceptical mindset: a flexible mode of thinking that allows you to stand back and spot when the market's view of the world is badly out of touch with reality - and the best way to profit when reality eventually reasserts itself. In The Sceptical Investor, John Stepek, executive editor of MoneyWeek, pulls together the latest research on behavioural finance, and examples from well-known contrarian investors, to offer practical techniques to help you to spot opportunities in common investment situations, from turnaround plays to bubbles and busts, that others in the market miss. It won't make you popular and it won't make you famous. But it will make you money.

Download or read book The Halo Effect written by Phil Rosenzweig and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-12-09 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some companies prosper while others fail? Despite great amounts of research, many of the studies that claim to pin down the secret of success are based in pseudoscience. THE HALO EFFECT is the outcome of that pseudoscience, a myth that Philip Rosenzweig masterfully debunks in THE HALO EFFECT. THE HALO EFFECT highlights the tendency of experts to point to the high financial performance of a successful company and then spread its golden glow to all of the company's attributes - clear strategy, strong values, and brilliant leadership. But in fact, as Rosenzweig clearly illustrates, the experts are not just wrong, but deluded. Rosenzweig suggests a more accurate way to think about leading a company, a robust and clearheaded approach that can save any business from ultimate failure.
