Book excerpt: Update: This book reached #1 on Amazon's "Business and Investing" best-seller list for the kindle version. If you are like most people, you probably worry about having enough money for retirement and, perhaps, sending your children to college. After the Great Recession, and all the stories of Wall Street hedge funds "hacking" the markets with algorithms, it's understandable to think that successful investing is only for the upper "1%." This isn't true, however. The fact is that anyone can trade stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs. There is a simple, easy to use trading system that can handle today's volatile markets. Praveen Puri, who wrote the best-selling book "Stock Trading Riches: The Simple, but Powerful Formula that Transforms Your Stock Picks into Money Pumps," suggests that investors would do well to shift their focus from Wall Street to the Great Wall. Puri is one of the growing numbers of financial and trading veterans who started to embrace Eastern principles for success. In the '90's, he was a day trader glued to screens, phones, and CNBC. Puri found himself running faster just to stay in the game. He felt pressured to leverage his portfolio with futures and options. He worked hard, suffered stress, and failed to meet his performance goals. Then, in 2000, he studied and applied the lessons of Taoism, Zen, and Hinduism: The market is reality. Traders must accept and adapt to whatever it does. Focus on the present moment. It is the only thing you have control over. Concentrate on your duty (trade your system), not on the fruits of your labor (short term results). Puri developed a minimalist, Zen-like investment system that uses no news reports, fancy technical indicators or charts to distract from the present moment. He relies on a single formula to calculate when to buy low and sell high. He obeys his formula, and does not let minor fluctuations trigger fear and greed. He now "surfs" in flow with the market, trades longer term, and is no longer glued to the screen. He only trades common stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs. He is no longer stressed, and his performance exceeds his expectations. Puri feels that any investor or trader can benefit from an Eastern KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) approach: Accept the fact that no investment system is perfect. The market goes where it wants to, not where investors would like it to. Less is more. Adding complex rules, indicators, and exotic products tends to raise trading costs, and makes your portfolio less flexible and robust. Focus on executing your plan, and not dwelling on short-term performance. "A Zen Trading System" is a re-issue of "Stock Trading Riches," and includes the latter title's 2009 updates, which include: More information on portfolio design Advice about stock picking A link to a downloadable spreadsheet A bonus system for investing in IPOs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trading is a stressful occupation, with mental and emotional traps on every side. Our instincts drive us to self-destruction: holding plummeting stocks in the hope of a sudden recovery, or obsessing over the minute-to-minute movements of our holdings. What if there were a trader who knew how to avoid these traps and could teach us to trade from a place of inner calm and peace of mind? Peter Castle has been a successful trader in financial markets for almost 30 years. He also happens to be a Zen monk. Peter’s unique perspective gives him unrivalled insight into how the wisdom of Zen can empower us to master our minds and achieve success in the markets. Many guides to using Zen avoid clear prescriptions and rely instead on cryptic quotes. In THE ZEN TRADER, Peter demystifies both trading and Zen, using decades of experience, sharing dozens of real-life examples, and explaining clearly the systems that enable mastery of both disciplines. He teaches us how to limit distraction, focus attention, detach from problematic emotions, be true to ourselves, and embrace the unlimited opportunities that exist in our professional and personal lives. Following Peter’s wisdom, you too can become a ZEN TRADER.

Book excerpt: In August of 2007, when global stock markets plunged and gold headed to a low of $660 an ounce, many investment experts warned of an imminent drop in the price of gold to $500 an ounce. Instead, J.S. Kim told his clients to buy gold and predicted a month later that gold would reach $850 an ounce by the end of 2007. Gold hit $850 an ounce on January 3, 2007. On November 16,2007, as Wall Street firms advised their clients to "buy the dips", J.S. boldly stated, "Use rallies like the one last Wednesday where the Dow piled on 300+ points in one session to sell out if for some reason you are still heavily invested in U.S. stocks" and predicted that triple-digit losses in the Dow would soon become "commonplace." By the second week of January, the DJIA and the Nikkei 225 had both plunged more than 1,000 points while stock markets in Korea, Hong Kong, and Europe also plummeted. Learn why you shouldn't listen to the investment industry...ever. And discover how to build a fortune from the coming global economic crisis.

What more is there to ask from a book?' - Joost M.E. Pennings, Journal of Economic Psychology 'George Goodman (Adam Smith) once wrote, "you can find out who you are by investing in the stock market, but it will be an expensive lesson". It is far smarter and cheaper to read Wärneryd's book instead. At a time when global stock markets are driven by emotions and passions, and are highly volatile, Chapter Six will tell you why, far better than a hundred analysts' reports.' - Shlomo Maital, TIM-Technion Institute of Management and the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology, Israel The rationale behind how people value and trade stocks is of unparalleled interest to governments, companies and other participants in stock markets. The book focuses on the way in which investors process information and form expectations about future gains. It argues that humans fall short of the perfect information processing required by theory, and that their expectations are based on more than just future company earnings.
