Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s strange to observe that in an age where information is so abundant and easy to access, a very small number of investors understand how to use stock charts. Many believe that the up-and-down level of a share is strongly connected to a company’s profitability. Either because of doubt or a lack of understanding, most traders and investors trust their friends, colleagues or pseudo-specialist gurus to help them make good trading and investment choices. This book has been written to help the new traders who trust blindly in those close to them, their colleagues or financial gurus, and want to understand chart patterns before investing in stocks. “Awesome book, Great buy!

This book includes more than 100 examples, figures and tables that will help understand investments visually. Several stock market charts show entry points, exit points and even false signals. Learning How to Be an Intelligent Investor The best way to foresee the future is to analyze the past. This book is a guide to avoiding many traps in the financial markets. I will show you how to use the stock market charts and how to enrich them with indicators, which will allow you to enter and exit the market at the right time. “Loads of great information!!

However, you should limit their use and make a choice among the four families of indicators that follow: Trend indicatorsMomentum indicatorsVolatility indicatorsVolume indicatorsTrading in the Zone and Avoid Traps Technical analysis cannot guarantee 100 percent success. The traps can be detected on a graph, but they can also come from the ones that make purchase recommendations to you, such as people that provide pump-and-dump scenarios or stock promoters from the web. Graphic analysis of the shares is essential before any investment. Trading Psychology It’s difficult to leave your emotions aside when your portfolio has lost 10 percent in just one day. Don’t put yourself in vulnerable situations. Keep your emotions balanced by investing at the appropriate moment.

Book excerpt: Read this if you want to sell more books, make more money as an author, or rank higher in your category. My name is Nick Vulich. The first thing you should know about me is I'm not a writer, and I'm not an expert on self-publishing either. I never worked in the industry, and I don't have any experience working for the big publishers. In fact, the only thing I consider myself an expert in is how to sell on eBay, Amazon, and Fiverr... So why should you listen to me? Like most indie authors, I came into publishing through the back door. I had a story to tell, and one day I just sat down and let it all come out. What I wrote wasn't pretty, or polished...but, it helped a lot of people sell more stuff on eBay. What I couldn't say with fancy prose, I made up for with enthusiasm. Because of that, my books sold. I'm not going to lie to you. It wasn't easy. I read just about every book available on self-publishing. I studied up on KDP Free days, Countdown Deals, price pulsing...

Book Four Shades of Gray

Download or read book Four Shades of Gray written by Simon Peter Rowberry and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length analysis of Amazon’s Kindle explores the platform’s technological, bibliographical, and social impact on publishing. Four Shades of Gray offers the first book-length analysis of Amazon’s Kindle and its impact on publishing. Simon Peter Rowberry recounts how Amazon built the infrastructure for a new generation of digital publications, then considers the consequences of having a single company control the direction of the publishing industry. Exploring the platform from the perspectives of technology, texts, and uses, he shows how the Kindle challenges traditional notions of platforms as discrete entities. He argues that Amazon’s influence extends beyond “disruptive technology” to embed itself in all aspects of the publishing trade; yet despite industry pushback, he says, the Kindle has had a positive influence on publishing. Rowberry documents the first decade of the Kindle with case studies of Kindle Popular Highlights, an account of the digitization of books published after 1922, and a discussion of how Amazon’s patent filings reflect a shift in priorities. Rowberry argues that while it was initially convenient for the book trade to outsource ebook development to Amazon, doing so has had adverse consequences for publishers in the mid- and long term, limiting opportunities for developing an inclusive and forward-thinking digital platform. While it has forced publishers to embrace digital forms, the Kindle has also empowered some previously marginalized readerships. Although it is still too early to judge the long-term impact of ebooks compared with that of the older technologies of clay tablets, the printing press, and offset printing, the shockwaves of the Kindle continue to shape publishing.

Book Books  Bytes and Business

Download or read book Books Bytes and Business written by Bill Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are businesses responding to global changes in markets driven by changes in technology? Whatever the industry, the trends are familiar: globalization and the rise of industrial conglomerates, mergers and acquisitions, the networking of businesses and markets, outsourcing and shifts in the distribution of resources and production, all reflected in the emergence of new players, new products and services and new forms of competition. As arguably the first knowledge-based business, book publishing provides an ideal setting for the study of challenge and opportunity. The industry is currently experiencing fierce levels of competition, extreme financial pressures, restructuring and the threat of technology-induced obsolescence. Added to these are the challenges posed by new and potential entrants to the market, the emergence of new products and services, new ways of doing business, including trading in virtual markets, and the vulnerability of traditional business models. The suitability of book publishing as a context for researching the emergence of knowledge-based business becomes all too apparent. Through combining primary research with secondary analysis drawn from the relevant literatures, Books, Bytes and Business is both a readable and informative account of business in the knowledge-based economy.
