Mitch Feierstein, "Planet Ponzi: How the World Got Into This Mess, What Happens Next, How to Save Yourself" : the book

The world economy is now approaching the final death rattle of the greatest Ponzi scheme in history: a scheme in which politicians stood by as the financial industry and Sovereign governments created a vast overhang of debt, a mountain of low quality assets - and laid the foundations for an economic disaster which will dwarf any other in history. There are four possible outcomes for our future: Economic growth (unlikely); Stagnation (probable); Inflation (bad); and, Default (disastrous). Which of the four it will be depends on choices that are being made right now, not always wisely, by politicians, technocrats and bankers. "Planet Ponzi" is a provocative assessment of the state of today's global economy. Mitch Feierstein reveals the true debts of Britain, the US government and the Eurozone - the full picture, not the figures the politicians would have us believe. In "Planet Ponzi", Feierstein explains clearly the background to the world's worst financial crisis for 70 years, predicts the next steps in this infinitely dangerous game and offers practical advice on measures which you personally can take to protect yourself and your family.

The VAR Implementation Handbook : the book

For investors, risk is about the odds of losing money, and Value at Risk (VaR) is grounded in that common-sense fact. VAR modeling answers, “What is my worst-case scenario?” and “How much could I lose in a really bad month?”

However, there has not been an effective guidebook available to help investors and financial managers make their own VaR calculations--until now.

The VaR Implementation Handbook is a hands-on road map for professionals who have a solid background in VaR but need the critical strategies, models, and insights to apply their knowledge in the real world.

Heralded as “the new science of risk management,” VaR has emerged as the dominant methodology used by financial institutions and corporate treasuries worldwide for estimating precisely how much money is at risk each day in the financial markets. The VaR Implementation Handbook picks up where other books on the subject leave off and demonstrates how, with proper implementation, VaR can be a valuable tool for assessing risk in a variety of areas-from equity to structured and operational products.

This complete guide thoroughly covers the three major areas of VaR implementation--measuring, modeling risk, and managing--in three convenient sections. Savvy professionals will keep this handbook at their fingertips for its:

Reliable advice from 40 recognized experts working in universities and financial institutions around the world

Effective methods and measures to ensure that implemented VaR models maintain optimal performance

Up-to-date coverage on newly exposed areas of volatility, including derivatives

Real-world prosperity requires making informed financial decisions. The VaR Implementation Handbook is a step-by-step playbook to getting the most out of VaR modeling so you can successfully manage financial risk.

The Downfall of Money: Germany's Hyperinflation and the Destruction of the Middle Class : the book

A hundred years ago, many theorists believed—just as they did at the beginning of our twenty-first century—that the world had reached a state of economic perfection, a never before seen human interdependence that would lead to universal growth and prosperity. Then, as now, the German mark was one of the most trusted currencies in the world. Yet the early years of the Weimar Republic in Germany witnessed the most calamitous meltdown of a developed economy in modern times. The Downfall of Money will tell anew the dramatic story of the hyperinflation that saw the mark—worth 4.2 to the dollar in 1914—plunge until it traded at over 4 trillion to 1 by the autumn of 1923.

The story of the Weimar Republic’s financial crisis clearly resonates today, when the world is again anxious about what money is, what it means, and how we can judge if its value is true. It is a trajectory of events uncomfortably relevant for our own uncertain world.

Frederick Taylor—one of the leading historians of Germany writing today— explores the causes of the crisis and what the collapse meant to ordinary people and traces its connection to the dark decades that followed. Drawing on a wide range of sources and accessibly presenting vast amounts of research, The Downfall of Money is a timely and chilling exploration of a haunting episode in history.

Review

"Taylor (Dresden) adds to a solid body of work on 20th-century Germany with this chilling account of the human face of hyperinflation in the 1920s Weimar Republic." –Publishers Weekly “A well-organized, fast-moving political narrative…Taylor’s history provides plenty of relevant lessons for today—and not only for Europe.” –Kirkus Reviews "Excellent...By skillfully weaving together economic history with political narrative and drawing on sources from everyday life as well as the inner cabinet of diplomacy, Mr. Taylor tells the history of the Weimar inflation as the life-and-death struggle of the first German democracy...This is a dramatic story, well told." - Adam Tooze, The Wall Street Journal “The British historian Frederick Taylor has written so brilliantly and incisively about Adolf Hitler that it is no surprise that he has turned his attention to the German economic meltdown…Mr. Taylor’s book, ‘Exorcising Hitler,’ proved the author’s prowess at social and political historiography and a magnificent grasp of Germany as a whole. ‘The Downfall of Money’ demonstrates that superb attunement to Germany anew and also [Taylor’s] mastery as an economic historian….Firmly and rightly grounded in its own time and place, ‘The Downfall of Money’ nonetheless resonates in our own.” –Martin Rubin, The Washington Times
 

Steven D. Lockshin, "Get Wise to Your Advisor: How to Reach Your Investment Goals Without Getting Ripped Off" : the book

The financial services world is changing. Technology is enabling an automated approach to investing that should bring down the cost of commodity services. No longer do you have to fund the lifestyle of a broker or advisor to have him tell you how to diversify or where to find the next investment that cannot be missed. This book will provide the tools for calculators that tell you most of what you need to know; from how much insurance you need to have to how you should diversify. The book will help readers with the following:

• Understand what you have

• Plan your long-term goals

• Start to save (maximizing your 401k)

• Reduce debt

• Run your Monte Carlo Simulation

• Determine the appropriate asset allocation

• Set up your auto-rebalancing and periodically (annually, perhaps) re-examining your asset allocation to account for globalization

• Deploy the asset mix through low cost, tax-efficient strategies

• Look at it once per year

This book will provide a better understanding of your investment decisions. But, we all cannot be do-it-yourselfers. Advisors serve as an important resource for consumers when they are both capable and understand their duty to serve you, the customer, first. To complement their moral station, they must have the skills to deliver appropriate advice. The book, much like the company Steve founded, will simplify standards for consumers and audit advisors to those standards.
