The business performance creates the value -- the price creates the OPPORTUNITY. No-one likes to pay too much for something. We all like to thing that what we buy is ' good value'. It's not different when we purchase a share in company listed on the stock market. In the "Concise Guide to Value Investing," Brian McNiven reveals how to calculate the true value of a company to find out whether you are paying a fair price. This fascinating book explores: value investing versus speculationthe difference between price and valuevariable values of a dollar of earningsaccounting misrepresentationthe characteristics of a wonderful businessthe StockVal(R) valuation formula. Two of the world's most successful investors, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, are self-confessed value investors. McNiven often draws on their wisdom to support his approach to value investing, which he defines as buying a share at a price lower than its calculated value. Only investors who have the ability to calculate value can call themselves 'value investors'.
Invested examines the perennial and nefarious appeal of financial advice manuals. Who hasn't wished for a surefire formula for riches and a ticket to the good life? For three centuries, investment advisers of all kinds, legit and otherwise, have guaranteed that they alone can illuminate the golden pathway to prosperity-despite strong evidence to the contrary. In fact, too often, they are singing a siren song of devastation. And yet we keep listening. Invested tells the story of how the genre of investment advice developed and grew in the United Kingdom and the United States, from its origins in the eighteenth century through today, as it saturates our world. The authors analyze centuries of books, TV shows, blogs, and more, all promising techniques for amateur investors to master the ways of the market: from Thomas Mortimer's pathbreaking 1761 work, Every Man His Own Broker, through the Gilded Age explosion of sensationalist investment manuals, the early twentieth-century emergence of a vernacular financial science, and the more recent convergence of self-help and personal finance. Invested asks why, in the absence of evidence that such advice reliably works, guides to the stock market have remained perennially popular. The authors argue that the appeal of popular investment advice lies in its promise to level the playing field, giving outsiders the privileged information of insiders. As Invested persuasively shows, the fantasies sold by these writings are damaging and deceptive, peddling unrealistic visions of easy profits and the certainty of success, while trying to hide the fact that there is no formula for avoiding life's economic uncertainties and calamities.
What, if anything, do the most spectacular, high-performance
periods of the twentieth-century stock market have in common? And
most importantly: Can we predict when they will occur again?

Much effort has gone into the study of financial markets and how prices vary with time. The usual approach of random walk is known to be inadequate to fully describe price dynamics. In this book, many different approaches are provided that use alternative and more adequate models. This book also examines the renewal theory in actuarial science. A simple actuarial model can be simulated well by means of this kind of stochastic process. A method dealing with the numerical solution of the renewal equation is presented. In addition, based on a theoretical model for opinion spreading on a network, through avalanches, the effect of external field is now considered, by using methods from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Furthermore, it is evident that the 2008-US sub-prime mortgage crisis broadly affected international financial markets. The crisis's magnitude impacted on Asian financial markets has not had much attention. To fill this gap, the authors examine changes in dependence structures between the US market and Asian financial markets before and after the crisis. The effect of optimal fiscal rules within a stochastic model of Keynesian type in the context of Poole (1970) analysis is derived. The authors extend the original Poole results concerning the output stabilisation properties of monetary policy to the case of fiscal policy. Different stochastic models based on a semi-Markov chains approach are used to study the high frequency price dynamics of traded stocks. The authors show that the models are able to reproduce important stylised facts of financial time series as the persistence of volatility. Finally, a new multi-agent model of the stock market is formulated that contains four states in which the agents may be located.
An expert reveals a step-by-step process for profiting from neoclassical qualified trend trading "Trend Trading Set-Ups" extends the neoclassical concept of qualified trend first introduced by Little in "Trend Qualification and Trading, "providing traders and investors with a sound methodology for uncovering the very best trade set-ups and the ability to time trade entries like never before. In "Trend Trading Set-Ups," Little reveals the data behind qualified trends and utilizes a novel concept involving time to calculate trend failure probability rates. " "Little reduces the complex to its most simplistic form compressing all trades types into just two classes - retraces and breakouts. Once simplified, over a decade worth of qualified trend data is examined. The result is a comprehensive presentation of what makes some trades enormously better than others and how you can both find and exploit the most favorable trade set-ups. Some trading books are an interesting read but soon forgotten. A few books you place on the reachable shelf and refer to often. In "Trend Trading Set-Ups "L.A. Little offers you an entirely new way of approaching an old subject and does so in a style that is both as riveting as it is valuable. As with "Trend Qualification and Trading "you will find this book an easy but comprehensive read and one that you will turn to again and again while pursuing your trading and investing endeavors.
