Download or read book The Investing Primer written by Mitchel Myers and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investing is a practice that fascinates millions of people. The prospect of making significant amounts of money in stocks, bonds, and other asset classes allures people of all backgrounds. However, few people take the time to acquire the technical knowledge and understanding that enable successful investment. Even fewer people take the time to identify and employ a sound philosophical framework through which to invest. Yet, these people do not deserve the blame, since the cohesive literature on the topic is lacking. There are few books, if any, that arm the novice investor with an understanding of the core technical concepts of investing, while also discussing both the common qualitative characteristics of great investments, and a practical philosophical framework through which to implement this knowledge. Most books in the spaces of corporate finance and investing have one of three critical flaws: 1) an exclusive focus on technical concepts, 2) an exclusive focus on philosophical concepts, or 3) an assumption that the reader understands the very basics of investing and finance. The objective of The Investing Primer is to fill the apparent void in the investing literature by covering basic financial and investing concepts, advanced technical concepts, qualitative analysis, and a proven philosophical framework in a single, concise resource. Ultimately, the engaged reader will have a much deeper knowledge of investing and the ability to utilize this knowledge for significant economic gain.Key Parts:-Part I: Investing Essentials and Acquiring Information-Part II: Accounting, Essential Formulas, and Financial Analysis-Part III: Debt and Capital Structure-Part IV: Valuation and Financial Modeling -Part V: Fundamental Analysis-Part VI: Value Investing-Part VII: Private Equity-Part VIII: Advanced/Selected Topics

Download or read book A Primer on Securitization written by Leon T. Kendall and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Primer on Securitization introduces readers to America's newest system of raising capital: what it is, how it operates, and what difference securitization makes. Gathering fourteen lectures by the pioneers of securitization and by current practitioners--from Freddie Mac, Paine Webber, JP Morgan, Chrysler, McKinsey & Co, and other major players-- A Primer on Securitization introduces readers to America's newest system of raising capital: what it is, how it operates, and what difference securitization makes.The securitization process bypasses financial intermediaries that have historically collected deposits and loaned them to those seeking funds, and links borrowers directly to money and capital markets. Although little has been written about what is perhaps one of the most important innovations to emerge in financial markets since the 1930s, securitization has revolutionized the way that the borrowing needs of consumers and businesses are met. Today, for example, over two-thirds of all home loans are being securitized, along with substantial percentages of auto loans and credit card receivables, and the process continues to expand into new fields including synthetic securities. Authoritative and practical, these lectures show how securitization was developed to fill a gap in financial markets. They discuss the nature and causes of the market imperfections that made securitization a valuable source of funds, and describe how securitization has linked local mortgage markets with international capital markets. Readers will gain a broad perspective of the different parties--the borrower, the loan originator, the servicer, the rating agency, the special purpose vehicle, the credit enhancer, the underwriter, and the investor--as well as a detailed analysis of how these parties relate to one another. From the inception of the secondary mortgage market through the collapse of the Granite funds, readers will learn not only about the success but also about the excesses and failures that typically accompany the development of any product in the real or financial sector.
Download or read book A Primer of Scientific Investment written by Emil Davies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of Scientific Investment It is a well-known fact that, while the public occasionally gains, and frequently loses, over its investments, the few big financial houses of the world, conveniently covered by the designation of la haute finance, consistently make large profits. The explanation of this indisputable fact is not to be found in the possession of large resources, for, as many private investors know to their cost, it is as easy to lose large sums as smaller amounts. The success of the great financial houses is built up on the same basic principle as that of the large industrial concerns which employ the best trained chemists and expert brains that money can procure to improve and perfect their processes of manufacture; in other words, by the application of science to industry. Each of the financial houses of the world has its "general staff" of experts - its intelligence department - constantly engaged in watching and studying the economic development of every country, the advance or retrogression of every trade and industry, the trend of prices in the different markets of the world, and the progress of the principal undertakings in every branch of industry. The private investor, acting on his own initiative or on a chance "tip," can no more hope to pit his knowledge and judgment against that of the trained experts of the great financial houses, with their mass of systematised information and statistics ever up to date, than a small artisan or trader can hope to be successful against one of the giant industrial concerns to which reference has already been made. The individual investor can, however, at least profit by learning something of the scientific methods adopted by these formidable competitors, and with this end in view the present treatise has been written.

Book excerpt: In predicting the major stock, bond, commodity, and foreign exchange markets around the world, nothing is more important than to anticipate the actions of the Federal Reserve System's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which sets the course of monetary policy in the United States. By controlling the key interest rate in the money markets and other monetary variables, the FOMC has an enormous impact on the global economy and financial markets.Watching the Fed closely are not only Wall Street's economists and investment strategists but also reporters and commentators at the major financial news organizations. In fact, anyone involved in investment matters and business activities anywhere in the world needs to watch the Fed, because its policies have powerful impacts not only on the US economy but also on the global economy.For participants in the financial markets, anticipating a policy change by the Fed and positioning an investment portfolio or speculative trade accordingly can result in big gains. Conversely, failing to anticipate a move by the Fed can result in big losses or missed opportunities for gains.In this unique primer, Dr. Edward Yardeni, one of the world's most experienced and widely followed "Fed watchers," helps investors to understand the FOMC's decision-making process, anticipate its moves, and profit from those insights.

Download or read book The Investor s Primer written by John Moody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Investor's Primer There has long been a demand for a concise handbook which would give, in simple, understandable language, definitions of all the important terms and phrases employed in the investment and banking business. This little book represents an effort to in some measure supply this demand. The book is really in two parts, the first part covering the general definitions of finance; the second giving specific information regarding the various issues of preferred and guaranteed stocks which are generally classed among the investment issues. Many other small books furnish information regarding bonds, quotations, etc., etc., but this specific and useful information has not, as far as the writer knows, been heretofore presented for popular uses, in this particular way. Although the definitions are all arranged alphabetically in dictionary style, yet, to facilitate practical use of the volume, an alphabetical index is inserted in the back.
