Download or read book Money Valuation and Growth written by Hasse Ekstedt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have experienced an era of extreme anti-inflationary policy combined with debts and deficits, the result of which has been a decrease in social stability. This book examines how using mainstream theory as the basis for economic decisions leads to misunderstandings of central concepts of our economic reality. It aims to establish a better understanding of the discrepancies between the current mainstream economic theory and the economy experienced in business and politics. This ambitious and wide-ranging volume begins the project of rethinking the approach of economics to money. In this new light, concepts such as valuation, price, uncertainty, growth and aggregation are interpreted differently, even as analytical inconsistencies and even intrinsic contradictions between these concepts arise. A central theme of the book is the use of money as a measure and whether the disconnect between money as a form of measurement and money as it is used in the real world can be maintained. This book calls for a radical rethinking of the basis of much of the modern study of economics. It will be of interest to researchers concerned with monetary economics, finance, political economy and economic philosophy.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The clearest and best book out there to get you on the path to riches. This one’s special!”—Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money “Great tools for anyone wanting to dabble in the stock market.”—USA Today Phil Town is a very wealthy man, but he wasn’t always. In fact, he was living on a salary of $4,000 a year when some well-timed advice launched him down a highway of investing self-education that revealed what the true “rules” are and how to make them work in one’s favor. Chief among them, of course, is Rule #1: “Don’t lose money.” In this updated edition to the #1 national bestseller, you’ll learn more of Phil’s fresh, think-outside-the-box rules, including: • Don’t diversify • Only buy a stock when it’s on sale • Think long term—but act short term to maximize your return • And most of all, beat the big investors at their own game by using the tools designed for them! As Phil demonstrates in these pages, giant mutual funds can’t help but regress to the mean—and as we’ve all learned in recent years, that mean could be very disappointing indeed. Fortunately, Rule #1 takes readers step-by-step through a do-it-yourself process, equipping even the biggest investing-phobes with the tools they need to make quantum leaps toward financial security—regardless of where the market is headed.

Download or read book New Era Value Investing written by Nancy Tengler and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-04-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique guide that combines the best of traditional value theory with an innovative approach to assessing value in low or non-dividend paying stocks In the 1990s, America's focus on productivity and innovation led to huge gains in technology, communication, and healthcare stocks, and contributed to the transformation of the U.S. stock market from a value (dividend-paying orientation) to a growth (nondividend-paying) bias. During this time, forward thinking value managers began to develop analytical tools for valuing nondividend paying stocks. These tools allowed them to evaluate and identify the best investments in both traditional and nontraditional value sectors. At the forefront of this movement was author Nancy Tengler who, along with Noel DeDora, developed "Relative Value Discipline," an approach-which combines two proven methods for valuing growth stocks: Relative Dividend Yield and Relative-to-Price Sales. The combination of these approaches allows individuals to invest across the investment universe regardless of dividend policies. New Era Value Investing introduces the proven method known as Relative Value Discipline by combining the excitement of developing a new investment discipline with the lessons learned through the application of this new methodology in the real world. In addition to providing an insider's look at an investment manager's experience in adopting a new investment approach, this book creates a context for understanding the transformation of the U.S. economy, and offers expert insights beyond those of traditional value theory. Nancy Tengler (San Francisco, CA) is President and Chief Investment Officer of Fremont Investment Advisors. She is coauthor of Relative Dividend Yield: Common Stock Investing for Income and Appreciation (Wiley: 0-471-53652-0). She has appeared on numerous financial radio and television programs, including CNN/fn and is frequently quoted in financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal.
Download or read book The Guide to Growth Investing written by Craig a Barnes and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth Investing is the most profitable investing strategy with a long track record of incredible returns. The financial press all agree: - "Investors holding U.S. value stocks ... have produced an annualized compound return of 12.9 percent (since 2010). That compares with a 16.3 percent annualized return for growth stocks." Institutional Investor (October 2019) - "Since May 1995 value stocks have returned 624%, while growth has gained 1,072%" Money.com (July 2020) -"Growth stocks have handily outperformed value stocks since December 2006." (USA Today, May 2020) - "Over the past decade, as a whole, value stocks have not performed as well as growth stocks" (MorningStar 2019). - "Growth stocks are the financial market's land of opportunity -- stocks that show the potential for abundant share price growth over the long haul but sell for relatively cheap right now (TheStreet, 2020). However, Growth Investing is also the hardest investing strategy for the average investor to understand and gather information. Many investing sources only advice growth investors to use 1) a growth mutual fund or 2) a stock screener to find companies with historical growth in earnings per share (EPS) and sales. However, a growth mutual fund includes fees that investors will want to avoid. And screening for a company's historical growth is not the best the selection tool for future growth. What these investing sources are not saying that the pros know is the essential step on which fund managers spend millions of dollars, hire a large staff of analysts, and devote hours interviewing CEOs to scrutinize - which new industries will have the highest growth in the next few years and what are the major players in those industries. Industry analyst research companies, like Barnes Reports, are where the leading investment banks and mutual funds purchase their industry analysis reports on the rapidly expanding industries. Now the individual investor has access to the same growth statistics on the most advanced technology industries on which the pros spend millions with "The Guide to Growth Investing." Some of the 100 niche industries featured in the 2020 edition include: - Drone Analytics Market - Automated 3D Printing Market - Medical Exoskeleton Market - Botnet Detection Market Featuring over 300 companies in the fastest-growing technology industries, the Guide is the one-stop resource for the essential data to invest in the companies of tomorrow. The Guide is useful for investors no matter the level of expertise - from beginner to expert. The Guide also explains 1) the advantages of Growth Investing over other strategies, 2) how you can beat Growth ETFs and mutual funds returns, and 3) the steps to build a protected retirement plan with Growth Investing.The Guide to Growth Investing shows you how to make Growth Investing work for you and help you achieve your financial goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy good companies. Don’t overpay. Do nothing. Some people love to make successful investing seem more complicated than it really is. In this anthology of essays and letters written between 2010–20, leading fund manager Terry Smith delights in debunking the many myths of investing – and making the case for simply buying the best companies in the world. These are businesses that generate serious amounts of cash and know what to do with it. The result is a powerful compounding of returns that is almost impossible to beat. Even better, they aren’t going anywhere. Most have survived the Great Depression and two world wars. With his trademark razor-sharp wit, Smith not only reveals what these high-quality companies really look like and where to find them (as well as how to discover impostors), but also: - why you should avoid companies that abuse the English language - how most share buybacks actually destroy value - what investors can learn from the Tour de France - why ETFs are much riskier than most realise - how ESG investors often end up with investments that are far from green or ethical - his ten golden rules for investment - and much, much more. Backed up by the analytical rigour that made his name with the cult classic, Accounting for Growth (1992), the result is a hugely enjoyable and eye-opening tour through some of the most important topics in the world of investing – as well as a treasure trove of practical insights on how to make your money work for you. No investor’s bookshelf is complete without it.
