Download or read book TrimTabs Investing written by Charles Biderman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-04-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are an investment professional managing billions of dollars or an individual investor with a small nest egg, TrimTabs Investing shows you how to beat the major stock market averages with less risk. This groundbreaking book begins by comparing the stock market to a casino in which the house (public companies and the insiders who run them) buys and sells shares with the players (institutional and individual investors). TrimTabs Investing argues that stock prices are primarily a function of liquidity—the amount of shares available for purchase and the amount of money available to buy them—rather than fundamental value. Finally, it outlines the building blocks of liquidity theory and explains how you can use them to predict the direction of the stock market. “Charles Biderman, a savvy and battle-scarred veteran of the investment wars, has fashioned an intriguing approach to making money in the stock market that adroitly avoids both heavy-breathing speculation and the standard Wall Street practices that enable investors, big and small, to lose money in good markets as well as bad. Aimed at the sophisticated investor (which may or may not be an oxymoron), the book is written in blessedly straightforward prose and is a worthwhile read for anyone with an urge to have a fling at investing.--Alan Abelson Barron’s “Since the days of Joseph and Pharaoh, it has been axiomatic that the size of the grain harvest affects the level of grain prices; but today’s investors have been slow to appreciate the fact that the supply of stock shares significantly determines the level of stock prices. Biderman’s long overdue book outlines the theory and evidence behind ‘Trading Float,’ the actual—and exploitable—power behind major moves in the stock market. --Paul Montgomery CEO and CIO of Montgomery Capital Management “‘Trade as corporate execs do, not as they say.’ Charles Biderman has built an impressive list of hedge fund clients from this essential insight, and this book does a great job explaining exactly how retail investors can incorporate it into their investing.” --Eric Zitzewitz Assistant Professor of Economics, Stanford Graduate School of Business “Charles Biderman is a smart thinker, clear writer—and he offers here some very interesting ideas. This book is for the little guy who enjoys reading about money and economics, even if he doesn’t adopt the strategies offered here; and for the professional or sophisticated investor, who, to a greater or lesser degree, just might.--Andrew Tobias author of The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need

Download or read book Protecting Your Money in the Stock Market written by Steve Godwin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock market has been framed by the financial services industry as a selection of good-quality companies that have excellent balance sheets and financial statements and great future prospects. In short, the game has been defined as stock picking. There has been little emphasis on the big picture or what history has to tell us about our investments. Finally, there has been no emphasis on the psychological stress of investing over a lifetime. This book was written to provide a kinder, gentler approach to stock market investing. Most individuals today just don’t have the necessary time to become detail proficient. This book offers a simpler yet quite effective approach to understanding what drives the market, how to think about the market, and how to execute in the market. This book gets the investor’s head up, looking for the next tsunami rather than the next good wave. Although, no methodology can predict the future; knowing where you are can provide opportunity and psychological stability. The principles explained here represent some of the best ideas that have stood the test of time in the author’s forty-six years in the markets.

The authors zoom in on key growth areas, including emerging markets, their interlinkages and financial trends. The book also covers risk arbitrage and mean reversion strategies in financial and sports betting markets, plus incentives, volatility aspects, risk taking and investments strategies used by hedge funds and university endowments.

The book presents tools and case studies of real applications for analyzing a wide variety of investment returns and better assessing the risks which many investors have preferred to ignore in the search of returns. Many security market regularities or anomalies are discussed including political party and January effects as is the process of building scenarios and using Kelly and fractional Kelly strategies to optimize returns.
