Taken together, this is pure nectar to those who aim for consistently superior stock market performance." -Barron's "The Education of a Speculator offers plenty of insights into the way markets work, but the epiphanies are what a reader might expect from Lao-tzu rather than, say, Graham and Dodd." -Worth magazine "The Education of a Speculator is the first meaningful book on speculating. Successful speculating is as fine an art as chess, checkers, fishing, poker, tennis, painting, and music. Niederhoffer brings forth the best from each of these fields and shows the investor how their principles can enrich one's life and net worth." -Martin Edelston, President, Boardroom Inc., publishers of Boardroom Classics and Bottom Line/Personal "With an original mind and an eclectic approach, Victor Niederhoffer takes the reader from Brighton Beach to Wall Street, visiting all stops of interest along the way.

Download or read book The Speculator s Mosaic written by Robert Leppo and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just another guide to making a quick dollar on the stock market or beating the S&P 500, The Speculator's Mosaic is a speculative investment book that details the hard-earned wisdom accumulated during five decades of portfolio management. Culled from a lifetime of successes - and failures - the book offers a detailed suite of tricks and strategies that have given author Bob Leppo an edge in stock market investing, commodity futures, and the wild world of venture capital. Yes, the book is about making money - lots of it. But The Speculator's Mosaic is about more than that. It's about the journey. It's about the excitement, frustration, rapture, and disappointment of pure speculation. It's about booms and busts, fortunate breaks and missed opportunities. Inspirational in tone, it's a love song to speculation, replete with triumph, heartbreak, anguish, and redemption. Part memoir, part tale of discovery and rebirth, The Speculator's Mosaic is mostly a friendly, no-nonsense guide to navigating the ups and downs - financial, emotional, and otherwise - of a career in speculative investment. Detailing a half century of hits and misses, often with brutal honesty, the book relays lessons learned from both the crucible of failure and the elation of success. There are plenty of books on stock picking, on shorting commodity futures, on investment basics, on obtaining venture capital money. What makes The Speculator's Mosaic different is that beyond stocks and commodities, it gives the reader a real-world perspective on what it's like on the VC's side of the table, picking the products and people worth betting heavily on. In the book, author Robert Leppo walks the reader through real life failures and successes in portfolio management, outlining investing basics as well as strategies and tools for investing in people who create valuable products or services. This includes specific tips to help readers position themselves as a positive counterpoint to the negative image of today's mainstream VC. With 50 years of speculative investment experience, even novice speculators stand a good chance to strike it rich - and learn a thing or two about themselves in the process. Robert Leppo started as a kid flush with $100 dollars of poker winnings. He finished with a fortune. The Speculator's Mosaic tells the story of how.
Download or read book The Speculation Economy written by Lawrence E. Mitchell and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2008-11-17 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to reveal the deep historical roots of the modern corporate obsession with stock price - a major cause of recent scandals like those at Enron and WorldComDetails how the rise of the modern corporation created the modern stock market - and why this led to an economy dominated by stock speculationAmerican companies once focused exclusively on providing the best products and services. But today, most corporations are obsessed with maximizing their stock prices, resulting in short-term thinking and the kind of cook-the-books corruption seen in the Enron and WorldCom scandals. How did this happen?In this groundbreaking book, Lawrence E. Mitchell traces the origins of the problem to the first decade of the 20th century, when industrialists and bankers began merging existing companies into huge ''combines''- today's giant corporations - so they could profit by manufacturing and selling stock in these new entities. He describes and analyzes the legal changes that made this possible, the federal regulatory efforts that missed the significance of this transforming development, and the changes in American society and culture that led more and more Americans to enter the market, turning from relatively safe bonds to riskier common stock in the hopes of becoming rich. Financiers and the corporations they controlled encouraged this trend, but as stock ownership expanded and businesses were increasingly forced to cater to stockholders' ''get rich quick'' expectations, a subtle but revolutionary shift in the nature of the American economy occurred: finance no longer served industry; instead, industry began to serve finance.The Speculation Economy analyzes the history behind the opening of this economic Pandora's box, the root cause of so many modern acts of corporate malfeasance.
