would love to get some simple tips and tricks that will steer you to
the winning side?
Seize the advantage in every risk decision with the most misunderstood asset you have--human emotion "If you are trying to solve the unsolvable, stop. Read this
first and you will learn that the surest path to success will be to
start with yourself; solve that conundrum and challenges like
understanding how you do and should react to markets will come to
be solvable." "When it comes to fast-moving global financial markets,
professional investors strive to evaluate complex economic
conditions from data analysis, economic reasoning, and professional
judgment. This is what is taught in business schools. Denise Shull
demonstrates how investment decision making is also determined by
unconscious emotions and perceptions. "Market Mind Games" is a
fascinating book that proposes a new and unexpected hypothesis
about the factors that drive financial decision-making." "Denise Shull wants us to get in touch with our feelings, not to
beat our bare chests and utter primordial screams. Far from it--her
techniques are focused on making more money." "Denise Shull's gem of a book is long overdue. . . . "Market
Mind Games"] has made the ability to analyze and overcome our
unconscious biases and prejudices available to everyone." ""Market Mind Games" is iconoclastic to say the very least Pay
attention to the last word in the subtitle: "risk." This book will
change your perspective on how to approach and think about the
markets and your life " "Denise changes the way you look at yourself and investing. Her
insights and methods are necessary to succeed in the markets,
period." ""Market Mind Games" offers a new school of trading psychology.
Truly an important work that needs to be on the bookshelf of every
serious market participant." "Masterful explanation of not only why emotionless trading is a
myth, but how we can take advantage of our natural wiring to gain
an edge." "Shull details ways to learn how you 'feel' before you 'act' so
that your buy, sell, or hold decisions become more
successful." "A must-read for those who want to make their livelihood as a
professional investor, trader, or algorithmic trading
developer." "Denise Shull enlightens the reader how to effectively unlock
one's psychological capital and translate that awareness into clear
and concise investment decisions." "Shull's book is not only a great read but lays out an entirely
more effective approach to thinking about any decision that
involves the unknown--market related or not." About the Book: What if the mystery of market crashes stems from a simple but total misunderstanding of our own minds? Could everything we think we know about ourselves--intelligence and rationality versus emotion and irrationality--be wildly off the mark? Simply put: yes. With these words, Denise Shull introduces her radical--and supremely rational-- approach to risk. Her vision stems from the indisputable fact that human beings can't make any decision at all without emotion and that emotion gets the first--and last--word when it comes to our perceptions and judgments. Shull should know. She started out managing major accounts for IBM and then chose to research unconscious emotional patterns instead of getting her MBA. Next she became a trader and trading desk manager while continuing to study biopsychology. We are all taught that sidelining our emotions is the best way to make good decisions-- Shull declares the converse: "emotions inform us." Attempting to control them actually increases the risks we take. Shull advocates treating feelings as data, and she convincingly argues that doing so eradicates the baffling question that repeats itself in our heads after making a poor investing decision: "What was I thinking?" Through a series of "lectures," Shull logically but engagingly connects emotions, beliefs, and context to our innate reaction to uncertainty and risk (yes, the two are different). In "Market Mind Games," she merges more than 20 years of studying risk decisions into a single, astoundingly effective strategy. A reasonable approach to emotion is the best and only way to win the investing game. The methods Shull details in "Market Mind Games" shake the foundation of conventional market and decision psychology. And, most important, they work.
Backing the Bold is a primer on the venture capital industry, business, and profession in Southeast Asia. The goal of the book's thirteen chapters has initially been to guide students of the Insignia Ventures Academy - Asia's first experiential venture capital accelerator - in their exploration of the venture capital industry and profession, specifically in the context of Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem and from the perspective of Insignia Ventures and its portfolio founders.Rather than being a book in the traditional sense of the word, such an origin and context for Backing the Bold has inevitably made this book a dynamic piece of literature, continuously growing and improving thanks to every new group of people who become part of the VC accelerator - as organizers, mentors, or participants.Now in print and in distribution, this first edition is available for all as a snapshot of Backing the Bold's progress as a continuously evolving repository of insights, best practices, and frameworks. It is for readers of any background or motivation to gain a better understanding of the venture capital investment process, portfolio management, and profession in the context of Southeast Asia's fast-growing technology markets.

The First Book from n+1--an Essential Chronicle of Our Financial Crisis HFM: Where are you going to buy protection on the U.S. government's credit?

This book deals with risk capital provided for established firms outside the stock market, private equity, which has grown rapidly over the last three decades, yet is largely poorly understood. Although it has often been criticized in the public mind as being short termist and having adverse consequences for employment, in reality this is far from the case. Here, John Gilligan and Mike Wright dispel some of the biggest myths and misconceptions about private equity. The book provides a unique and authoritative source from a leading practitioner and academic for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers that explains in detail what private equity involves and reviews systematic evidence of what the impact of private equity has been. Written in a highly accessible style, the book takes the reader through what private equity means, the different actors involved, and issues concerning sourcing, checking out, valuing, and structuring deals. The various themes from the systematic academic evidence are highlighted in numerous summary vignettes placed alongside the text that discuss the practical aspects. The main part of the work concludes with an up-to-date discussion by the authors, informed commentators on the key issues in the lively debate about private equity. The book further contains summary tables of the academic research carried out over the past three decades across the private equity landscape including: the returns to investors, economic performance, impact on R&D and employees, and the longevity and life-cycle of private equity backed deals. |
