Book excerpt: Your 20 million dollars is already in the bank, it's just in someone else's bank right now! I wrote High Finance: The Secrets Wall Street Doesn't Want You to Know in late 2016. Since then, I have made sales not only in the United States and Canada, but also in 17 other countries, places like France, Germany, Hungary, South Korea, and China. The main theme of my book is that Wall Street beats retail investors through a series of small edges that add up to billions of dollars, much like the house edge at the casino. I show you where these edges are and how you can avoid them. When I published my book, everyone predicted that I would sell 100 copies or so, mostly to family and friends. They were wrong. Just like there are a lot of naysayers in publishing, there were a lot of naysayers who said I wouldn't make any money trading stocks. They were also wrong. I think you should raise your expectations. Have the courage to dream bigger, do bigger deals, and go take what you want. Whether you choose to steadily grow your capital through prudent, low cost investment or by grinding out profitable trade after profitable trade, you are capable of achieving your goals. There's a lot of ways to make money in the markets, and you are free to switch strategies whenever. There is no shortage of money in this world; the money just isn't equally distributed. Someone gets to live in every mansion and penthouse all over the world, and my question is, what if it could be you? Smart investing and trading can make you more money than you have ever dreamed; faster than you thought was possible. Trading options and stocks paid for my first car, paid for me to travel the world, and put a lot of extra cash in my pocket over the years. It can do the same for you. What you might be thinking: If I am so good at playing the markets, why am I writing a book about it? The truth is, a lot of people want to throw me money to trade for them, but I don't have the time or the inclination to deal with hundreds of clients. I genuinely enjoy helping people win in the markets, and making a passive 5 dollars a copy multiplied by the thousands of people I am able to help is a win-win. The Wall Street sharks have a constant supply of fish, and this book is only a drop in the ocean. Since you are reading though, you're on my team. Let me show you how the game works, what the rules are, how you can win. Inside: Examples of winning stock and option trades I made, and how you can replicate them. Why commissions and fees are the number one obstacle facing most investors and traders, and how you can drastically reduce them, regardless of your trading style. A simple secret that makes you a little more profit on every trade, by applying the power of negotiation to the stock market. How credit card lending became one of America's most profitable industries, and how investors can get a piece of the action through P2P lending. A trick to passively generate capital gains when investing in bonds. An introduction to the elegantly simple Kelly Criterion, originally used by professional gamblers. The Kelly Criterion helps you control risk when trading and maximize your average profit. How eastern philosophy can help you improve your trading game. Formulas for estimating stock and bond returns. A quick overview of asset protection strategies. Tax saving moves for investors at every income level, and much more. Logan C. Kane has helped countless people with his techniques and strategies, and he can help you too. No upselling, just priceless financial wisdom for the price of lunch. Pardon our clickbait title, and...

Download or read book An Introduction to High Frequency Finance written by Ramazan Gençay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-29 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal with low frequency, regularly spaced data. For a variety of reasons, high-frequency data are becoming a way for understanding market microstructure. This book discusses the best mathematical models and tools for dealing with such vast amounts of data.This book provides a framework for the analysis, modeling, and inference of high frequency financial time series. With particular emphasis on foreign exchange markets, as well as currency, interest rate, and bond futures markets, this unified view of high frequency time series methods investigates the price formation process and concludes by reviewing techniques for constructing systematic trading models for financial assets.

Download or read book Red Notice written by Bill Browder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freezing Order, the follow-up to Red Notice, is available now! “[Red Notice] does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar’s Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browder’s business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the year’s best books” (Fortune). “Part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir.” —The New York Times This is a story about an accidental activist. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune. Along the way he exposed corruption, and when he did, he barely escaped with his life. His Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky wasn’t so lucky: he ended up in jail, where he was tortured to death. That changed Browder forever. He saw the murderous heart of the Putin regime and has spent the last half decade on a campaign to expose it. Because of that, he became Putin’s number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States—The Magnitsky Act—that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer’s murder. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans. A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world, and also the story of how, without intending to, he found meaning in his life.

Download or read book Finance in America written by Kevin R. Brine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic crisis of 2008 led to an unprecedented focus on the world of high finance—and revealed it to be far more arcane and influential than most people could ever have imagined. Any hope of avoiding future crises, it’s clear, rest on understanding finance itself. To understand finance, however, we have to learn its history, and this book fills that need. Kevin R. Brine, an industry veteran, and Mary Poovey, an acclaimed historian, show that finance as we know it today emerged gradually in the late nineteenth century and only coalesced after World War II, becoming ever more complicated—and ever more central to the American economy. The authors explain the models, regulations, and institutions at the heart of modern finance and uncover the complex and sometimes surprising origins of its critical features, such as corporate accounting standards, the Federal Reserve System, risk management practices, and American Keynesian and New Classic monetary economics. This book sees finance through its highs and lows, from pre-Depression to post-Recession, exploring the myriad ways in which the practices of finance and the realities of the economy influenced one another through the years. A masterwork of collaboration, Finance in America lays bare the theories and practices that constitute finance, opening up the discussion of its role and risks to a broad range of scholars and citizens.

Download or read book High Finance Goes Uptown written by Roger L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book attempts to present the perils of the business of banking, particular for minority banks, even in the midst of success. The jealousy and internal strife that prevents not only the institution from achieving its ultimate success but also any business or institution, especially in light of those whose careers are immeasurably linked to that success or failure. The old saying that ?a rising tide lifts other boats? is also true in business, with its employees. This book is intended to help others, especially those in other professions, to envision the whole picture and not just see things through their own lenses. To support your staff and encourage them in their performance of their duties proves to be a vital source and determines the quality of its management, its style, and its effectiveness. Any corporate entity needs all of its staff or employees to be on the same page or know the goal of the operation once it is defined. Accordingly, any rewards or attributes for that success must be administered fairly and equally. An ongoing concern should be the primary interest of all parties, especially those in the position of senior officials. I rest my case.

Download or read book Algorithmic and High Frequency Trading written by Álvaro Cartea and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of trading algorithms requires sophisticated mathematical models backed up by reliable data. In this textbook, the authors develop models for algorithmic trading in contexts such as executing large orders, market making, targeting VWAP and other schedules, trading pairs or collection of assets, and executing in dark pools. These models are grounded on how the exchanges work, whether the algorithm is trading with better informed traders (adverse selection), and the type of information available to market participants at both ultra-high and low frequency. Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading is the first book that combines sophisticated mathematical modelling, empirical facts and financial economics, taking the reader from basic ideas to cutting-edge research and practice. If you need to understand how modern electronic markets operate, what information provides a trading edge, and how other market participants may affect the profitability of the algorithms, then this is the book for you.
