Buying and selling options is the fastest growing investment
strategy when compared with other trading venues such as buying and
selling stocks, futures, and foreign exchange currencies. Millions
of investors who understand the financial leverage offered by
options are earning impressive, steady incomes by buying and
selling call and put options. The successful investors learn how
options work. They develop watch lists of trade candidates and
study price charts to find prospective trades. And they apply
rules-based option trading strategies that succeed much more often
than they fail. Even when they lose, their rules limit their losses
to acceptable levels. This book was written by a successful option
trader. He introduces options and how they work to those who are
ready to learn how they work. The book emphasizes the application
of time-tested option trading rules. These rules use price charts,
market volatility, key option values, and risk graphs to achieve
high-probability option trading outcomes. The book also details ten
option trade examples that include trade setups, entries, trade
management techniques, and supporting illustrations.
The volumes in this series may be likened to a complete case study
of Tesla through the end of 2018. Many popular media articles are
excerpted, abridged to illustrate points of theoretical emphasis.
This keeps the story alive, meaningful, and urgent. Strategic
management is a corpus of scholarship in the Academy of Management,
as is technology and innovation management. Project management is
found academically within operations management, and led in
practice by the Project Management Institute. The volumes in this
series intersect where these fields meet and capital projects are
planned, budgeted, and financed. Volume I tells the Tesla story and
then presents chapters that address, in order: corporate governance
and project stakeholder or communication management, project
portfolios as strategic corporate portfolios, and an
executive-level review of the best-practice project management
paradigm, as applied to capital projects. The epilogue takes the
story through the end of 1Q2019 and offers additional commentary.
This book is companion to Volumes I and III in the series. Volume I
covers managing strategy through capital project portfolios; Volume
III is a complete case study. This volume describes the strategic
challenge of adding real economic value, properly and rigorously
defined. The author explains how this is accomplished through the
capital budgeting process; discusses the importance of free cash
flow and finally, capital projects, as financial options, are
discussed, as a way to manage risk while enhancing the likelihood
of project approval. The author is a retired business professor;
his research interest has been the management of technology and
innovation. For this book, he double-checked none of the 1,250
media items collected, accepting their overall veracity at face
value. This approach advocates no one person, no one company, no
one technology, and no portion of the global automobile industry.
Analysis and practical application came foremost.
This book explains and demonstrates the concept of momentum in
chart analysis, which is of great interest to technical analysts.
It includes complete explanations of overbought and oversold, where
momentum fits in the broader science of technical analysis, and the
importance of moving average crossover. Five major momentum
oscillators are explained in depth: relative strength index, MACD,
rate of change, stochastics, and Bollinger Bands. Finally, the book
provides trading guidance based on momentum, involving coordination
of oscillators with other indicators, reversal, and continuation
signals. Momentum powerfully identifies the strength and speed of
price movement. Through the use of index calculations, momentum is
effective when used as a confirming indicator for other signals
found in price, volume, or moving averages. Often overlooked by
traders focused solely on price reversals or continuation signals,
momentum provides a context to price behavior and to the price
trend, and can vastly improves the timing of both entry and exit of
trades.
Options are the fastest growing trading venue offered today. Option
trading volume grew 22% in 2018 alone-faster than any other trading
venue. Why? Because traders are learning how options are
statistically predictable and orderly. And they provide extensive
financial leverage and strategic flexibility. When compared to
buying and selling stock, futures, or foreign exchange currency
pairs, it's not even a contest! For just a few hundred dollars, an
option trader can control tens of thousands of dollars' worth of
stock, ETF shares, a financial index, or futures contracts. And
options offer dozens of trading strategies designed to exploit
current market conditions. This book contains 78 option trading
strategies, which provides readers with an option toolbox that fits
every market condition, i.e., bullish, neutral, or bearish. No
other financial instrument offers this flexibility and no other
trading venue can provide the same steady financial return week in
and week out.
Trade credit is extensively used in both domestic and international
commercial transactions. Although it clearly supports growth, its
significance is even greater for developed countries, where the
market has recovered remarkably since the global financial crisis.
The number and heterogeneity of motivations to trade credit justify
the variability observed in the international data and the
instrument's role in coordinating supply chains has become crucial
to its success The range of trade credit finance solutions is
diversified and includes instruments offered by financial
intermediaries and market products, highlighting a very interesting
set of intermediate solutions deriving from the application of new
technologies to financial services. Trade credit is characterized
by strong attractiveness for financiers, but a deep evaluation of
potential losses grounds on a deep understating of the plurality of
sources of credit risk (default and dilution risk). This book
offers managers a complete analysis of the various facets of
commercial credit and presents an international analysis of the
various types of markets, instruments, and risks associated with
trade credit in supply chains across the globe.
Trade credit finance is characterized by strong attractiveness
deriving from risk mitigation, but the plurality of sources of
credit risk (default and dilution risk) requires the implementation
of a credit risk management system that exploits the broad
knowledge developed by financing supply relationships.
Consequently, financiers could be hindered from developing a full
understanding of the underwritten risks and are thus unable or only
partially able to evaluate their full potential to expand financial
relationships over the credit capability of a single counterparty
with respect to the supplier-debtor pair. The richness of the
information available in trade credit financing is not an obstacle
for the development of a modern risk management framework, but it
must be calibrated to avoid distortions in the implementation. In
addition, risk analysis in the supply chain is not limited to the
crises of individual members but must assess the effects of such
crisis on the entire supply chain and assess the specific risks of
contagion and the favorable conditions for the propagation. This
book offers managers a complete analysis of the various issues of
credit risk management for trade credit financing instruments
supported by applications to various types of markets and presents
an analysis on risks associated with trade credit in supply chains.
