Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Investing This is a book for the man who has or may have money to invest, and who wants to learn how to invest it to the best possible advantage.

Harper & Bros, through whose courtesy some of the material contained in the book has been used, the author wishes to extend his thanks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Investment The solid fortunes have been amassed through invest ment and not made by speculation. They have been built up by men who have developed character and will-power, who have created depth and breadth Of mind through concentration and experience, rather than by men of exceptional native brilliancy. The serious practice of investment is a sturdy and businesslike pursuit. It is, in fact, at the root of every business. As an art, it depends on no mystery or occult secret. It consists of learning facts that are within the common reach and Of applying principles capable Of being assimilated. The purpose of this book is to present an outline of principles; it is not a manual Of facts. The discussion, moreover, is confined to the principles governing the investment of personal funds, excluding the canons of institutional and trustee investment, which is concerned with the funds of others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investment Bonds: Their Issue and Their Place in Finance, a Book for Students, Investors, and Practical Financiers Some months past a prominent banker of this city delivered an address touching largely on Investment Bonds, in the course of which he was requested to mention a work devoted entirely to that subject. The reply was that he knew of no book of this nature and he believed that none existed; and a review of current financial literature confirmed this belief. That inci dent, together with numerous similar inquiries that have come to the attention of the author, is responsible for the present volume. Nearly every other branch of finance has received an adequate measure cf attention. There are for instance, fully a score of good works on the various aspects of banking and on kindred subjects. It is a singular fact, however, that Investment Bonds, taken as a separate subject, have had scant consideration. The published information at present available on the subject is scarcely more than passing mention in some financial works, one or two small volumes which are little else than reference works, and the advertising pamphlets of banking houses. This material is so scattered as to preclude the possibility of obtaining from it any satisfactory amount of trustworthy in formation. Only a few, comparatively, such as those whose daily association with this branch of finance affords them opportunity for its study, are in a position to learn of its many phases.

Download or read book The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion written by Leonard C. MacLean and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the definitive treatment of fortune's formula or the Kelly capital growth criterion as it is often called. The strategy is to maximize long run wealth of the investor by maximizing the period by period expected utility of wealth with a logarithmic utility function. Mathematical theorems show that only the log utility function maximizes asymptotic long run wealth and minimizes the expected time to arbitrary large goals. In general, the strategy is risky in the short term but as the number of bets increase, the Kelly bettor's wealth tends to be much larger than those with essentially different strategies. So most of the time, the Kelly bettor will have much more wealth than these other bettors but the Kelly strategy can lead to considerable losses a small percent of the time. There are ways to reduce this risk at the cost of lower expected final wealth using fractional Kelly strategies that blend the Kelly suggested wager with cash. The various classic reprinted papers and the new ones written specifically for this volume cover various aspects of the theory and practice of dynamic investing. Good and bad properties are discussed, as are fixed-mix and volatility induced growth strategies. The relationships with utility theory and the use of these ideas by great investors are featured.

Download or read book Payback Time written by Phil Town and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t get mad, get even… Phil Town’s first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller Rule #1, was a guide to stock trading for people who believe they lack the knowledge to trade. But because many people aren’t ready to go from mutual funds directly into trading without understanding investing—for the long term – he created Payback Time. Too often, people see long-term investing as “mutual fund contributing” – otherwise known as “long-term hoping.” But the sad truth is that mutual fund investors are, to a stunning degree, pinning their hopes on an institution that is hopeless. It turns out that only 4% of fund managers consistently beat the S&P 500 index over the long term, which means that 96% of fund investors see a smaller return on their nest egg than a chimpanzee who simply buys stocks in the 500 biggest companies in America and watches what happens. But it’s worse than that. The net effect of hitching your wagon to mutual funds is that over a lifetime they’ll fritter away as much 60% of your nest egg in fees. Once you understand how funds engineer this, you’ll rush to invest on your own. Payback Time’s risk-free approach is called “stockpiling” and it’s how billionaires get rich in bad markets. It’s a set of rules for investing (not trading but investing) in the right businesses at the right time -- rules that will ensure you make the big money.

Book excerpt: Legendary money manager Peter Lynch explains his own strategies for investing and offers advice for how to pick stocks and mutual funds to assemble a successful investment portfolio. Develop a Winning Investment Strategy—with Expert Advice from “The Nation’s #1 Money Manager.” Peter Lynch’s “invest in what you know” strategy has made him a household name with investors both big and small. An important key to investing, Lynch says, is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets. There’s a company behind every stock and a reason companies—and their stocks—perform the way they do. In this book, Peter Lynch shows you how you can become an expert in a company and how you can build a profitable investment portfolio, based on your own experience and insights and on straightforward do-it-yourself research. In Beating the Street, Lynch for the first time explains how to devise a mutual fund strategy, shows his step-by-step strategies for picking stock, and describes how the individual investor can improve his or her investment performance to rival that of the experts. There’s no reason the individual investor can’t match wits with the experts, and this book will show you how.
