Book excerpt: From the Foreword "Truly valuable investment advice doesn't just direct you to buy a particular stock but helps you to think about investment opportunities within sectors-specifically, in the industries that are poised for growth over the next years and decades. Bob's solid guidance helps you target long-term opportunities."-Suze Orman, Author of The Road to Wealth and #1 New York Times Bestsellers, The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and The Courage to Be Rich The five themes driving and shaping the market in the millennium, from one of Wall Street's most respected investors. In Where the Money Is, Bob Froehlich, one of the financial community's most trusted advisors, gives readers a rare insider's view of the strategies that financial markets and industries are developing to capitalize on the new terrain. Peering over the economic horizon for clues to next year and beyond, Froehlich pinpoints the five most relevant investment themes that will drive and shape the continuing bull market-as they are shaping society-into the new millennium. Focusing on such key issues as the aging baby boomer population, the continued growth of a technology that provides greater access and connectivity to the world, and the rise of the global marketplace, Froehlich shows investors how to spot these larger trends within the financial markets and the economy and to build an appropriate investment strategy to capitalize on them for rich rewards. Froehlich shows readers where the money is and where it can be found in the future.

Download or read book New Trends in Finance and Accounting written by David Procházka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-25 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most current trends in the field of finance and accounting from an international perspective. Featuring contributions presented at the 17th Annual Conference on Finance and Accounting at the University of Economics in Prague, this title provides a mix of research methods used to uncover the hidden consequences of accounting convergence in the private (IFRS) and public sectors (IPSAS). Topics covered include international taxation (from both the micro- and macroeconomic level), international investment, monetary economics, risk management, management accounting, auditing, investment capital, corporate finance and banking, among others. The global business environment shapes the international financial flows of finance and the demand for international harmonization of accounting. As such, the field of global finance and accounting has encountered some new challenges. For example, policy-makers and regulators are forced to restructure their tools to tackle with new features of trading at global capital markets and international investment. This book complements this global view of development with country-specific studies, focusing on emerging and transitioning economies, which are affected indirectly and in unforeseen ways. The combination of global perspective and local specifics makes this volume attractive and useful to academics, researchers, regulators and policy-makers in the field of finance and accounting.

Download or read book Investing with the Trend written by Gregory L. Morris and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investing with the Trend provides an abundance of evidence for adapting a rules-based approach to investing by offering something most avoid, and that is to answer the “why” one would do it this way. It explains the need to try to participate in the good markets and avoid the bad markets, with cash being considered an asset class. The book is in three primary sections and tries to leave no stone unturned in offering almost 40 years of experience in the markets. Part I – The focus is on much of the misinformation in modern finance, the inappropriate use of Gaussian statistics, the faulty assumptions with Modern Portfolio Theory, and a host of other examples. The author attempts to explain each and offer justification for his often strong opinions. Part II – After a lead chapter on the merits of technical analysis, the author offers detailed research into trend analysis, showing how to identify if a market is trending or not and how to measure it. Further research involves the concept of Drawdown, which the author adamantly states is a better measure of investor risk than the oft used and terribly wrong use of volatility as determined by standard deviation. Part III – This is where he puts it all together and shows the reader all of the steps and details on how to create a rules-based trend following investment strategy. A solid disciplined strategy consists of three parts, a measure of what the market is actually doing, a set of rules and guidelines to tell you how to invest based upon that measurement, and the discipline to follow the strategy

Download or read book Corporate Investment in Emerging Markets written by Delong Li and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine how firm and country heterogeneity shape the response of corporate investment in emerging markets to changes in global interest rates and volatility. We test for the presence of (i) a financing channel originating from changes in the costs of external borrowing and (ii) a real options channel—reflecting firms’ option values to delay investment. We find evidence of the coexistence of both channels. Financially weaker firms reduce investment by more in response to higher interest rates or volatility, while firms with stronger balance sheets become less willing to invest after volatility spikes. Furthermore, the intensity of the financing channel diminishes for firms in countries with lower public debt, higher foreign reserves, or deeper financial markets.

Download or read book Global Trends in Real Estate Finance written by Graeme Newell and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2009-12-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To operate effectively in today’s dynamic global real estate markets, it is essential to understand the complex processes that underpin them. This up-to-date work, which brings together contributions from industry and academic experts from around the world, is a valuable corollary to effective investment decision-making within the property sector and will be of interest to post-graduate property students, researchers and practising real estate investors. Recent years have seen some rapid developments in the global scale and structure of real estate markets. Such transformations have been paralleled by significant changes in the financial structures, and processes that serve these markets, including sophisticated new investment and finance structures and products. Examples of these include the real estate investment trusts (REIT) products that have been developed in USA, Europe and Asia, the range of unlisted products emerging in UK and Europe, and the innovative financing structures being developed in many countries. Global Trends in Real Estate Finance addresses this emerging complexity and sophistication in contemporary real estate markets by discussing the history, merits and implications of a range of products and processes. Also examined are the changes in the practices and environment needed to ensure the success of these property products, including increased disclosure, corporate governance, market transparency and improved skills base. Chapters are written by leading international contributors, both academic and practitioner. The context is explicitly international, with a focus on UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA. The aim is to identify specific market areas to describe the key innovations, rather than simply providing a description of various geographical markets.

Download or read book The Era of Uncertainty written by Francois Trahan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroeconomic Investment Strategies for an Era of Economic Uncertainty “Over the years, François’ insightful analyses of the business cycle has led to market calls that have both benefitted investors on the upside and (more important to many) protected them from losses on the downside. François’ incredible track record in successfully interpreting the trends that can be found in leading indicators and other macroeconomic data have also led to his well deserved reputation as an expert in sector rotation - providing investors on both the long and short side of the market opportunities to profit from his ideas. In my opinion, his most important and influential macro prediction to date was his call in the middle of the last decade when he predicted that the worst housing crisis in American history would soon be upon us, and that it would have far-ranging implications for both the global economy and world financial markets.”
