Clive M. Corcoran, "LongShort Market Dynamics Trading Strategies for Today's Markets"
Wiley (March 23, 2007) | ISBN: 0470057289 | 358 pages | PDF | 3,7 Mb

Hedge funds are now the largest volume players in the capital markets. They follow a wide assortment of strategies but their activities have replaced and overshadowed the traditional model of the long only portfolio manager. Many of the traditional technical indicators and commonly accepted trading strategies have become obsolete or ineffective.

The focus throughout the book is to describe the principal innovations that have been made within the equity markets over the last several years and that have changed the ground rules for trading activities. By understanding these changes the active trader is far better equipped to profit in today’s more complex and risky markets. Long/Short Market Dynamics includes:
A completely new technique, Comparative Quantiles Analysis, for identifying market turning points is introduced. It is based on statistical techniques that can be used to recognize money flow and price/momentum divergences that can provide substantial profit opportunities.
Power laws, regime shifts, self-organized criticality, phase transitions, network dynamics, econophysics, algorithmic trading and other ideas from the science of complexity are examined. All are described as concretely as possible and avoiding unnecessary mathematics and formalism.
Alpha generation, portfolio construction, hedge ratios, and beta neutral portfolios are illustrated with case studies and worked examples.
Episodes of financial contagion are illustrated with a proposed explanation of their origins within underlying market dynamics

The Markets Never Sleep: Global Insights for More Consistent Trading

2009-11-17T01:39:00.001-08:00

Thomas L. Busby, Patsy Busby Dow , "The Markets Never Sleep: Global Insights for More Consistent Trading"
Wiley (March 5, 2007) | ISBN: 0470049464 | 256 pages | PDF | 2,5 Mb

The world's financial markets operate twenty-four hours a day. During virtually every hour of the day and night, someone, somewhere is trading—yet many U.S. traders seem oblivious to that reality, focusing only on the day markets in Chicago and New York.

Beginning the trading day with the opening bell of the NYSE, says veteran trader Thomas Busby, is like showing up for your eight-to-five job around two in the afternoon—you are very late. As he explains, trading is a twenty-four-hour game and those who understand that fact will be in a better position to limit risk, increase their trading opportunities, stay on the right side of the action, and be more consistent and profitable. In The Markets Never Sleep, Busby reveals how you can use modern technology to take full advantage of the twenty-four-hour nature of the markets. He lays out the basics of how global markets work and explains the significance of understanding global connections and why traders need to know them, showing how to think globally and stay alert to any major geopolitical or economic event.
Offering an insider's view of the professional trader's work day, the author reveals his own trading strategies, outlining the criteria he uses for trading equities and describing the process he uses for buying and selling stocks, as well as his techniques for trading equity index futures contracts. And since, as he shows, it is impossible to be consistently profitable without understanding and using the market's key numbers, Busby explains how to read the major statistical indicators, as well as illustrates the significance of fuel prices, precious metals, futures indices, and other market indicators. Going beyond the numbers, Busby also helps you deal with the enormous role that psychological factors play in trading, offering strategies for handling the greed/fear dilemma, techniques for staying mentally positive, and advice on how to avoid obsessing over trading and maintain your normal lifestyle.
Whether you're an experienced or novice trader interested in short-term or long-term trading, The Markets Never Sleep will provide a clear and profitable path through the financial maze of the global marketplace.

The Great Divergence: China, Europe, and the Making of the Modern World Economy

2009-11-05T01:11:00.000-08:00

Kenneth Pomeranz, "The Great Divergence: China, Europe, and the Making of the Modern World Economy."
Princeton University Press | ISBN: 0691090106 | 392 pages | PDF | 1,6 Mb

Pomeranz is a history professor at the University of California^-Irvine and the author of The Making of a Hinterland: State, Society, and Economy in Inland North China, 1853^-1937 (1993), an academic study that investigated the role of steam-powered transportation (among other developments) in the growth of China's Shantung Province. He is also the coauthor of the more popularly accessible The World That Trade Created (1999). Now he looks at the question of why sustained industrial growth began in northwestern Europe but not East Asia. To even ask the question can bring charges of Eurocentrism, but Pomeranz acknowledges the role of colonialism in Europe's growth. He emphasizes, though, Europe's access to America's resources as one of two contributing factors to industrial growth, the second being the widespread availability within Europe of coal as a fuel. After challenging the convention that Europe held an edge before 1800, he traces with scholarly diligence the diverging patterns of growth between Europe and China.

Oxford University Press, USA (February 2, 2007) | ISBN: 0192853457 | 192 pages | PDF | 1,3 Mb
Economics has the capacity to offer us deep insights into some of the most formidable problems of life, and offer solutions to them too. Combining a global approach with examples from everyday life, Partha Dasgupta describes the lives of two children who live very different lives in different parts of the world: in the Mid-West USA and in Ethiopia. He compares the obstacles facing them, and the processes that shape their lives, their families, and their futures. He shows how economics uncovers these processes, finds explanations for them, and how it forms policies and solutions. Along the way, Dasgupta provides an intelligent and accessible introduction to key economic factors and concepts such as individual choices, national policies, efficiency, equity, development, sustainability, dynamic equilibrium, property rights, markets, and public goods.
