Investment Philosophies: Successful Investment Philosophies and the Greatest Investors Who Made Them Work : the book

The philosophy behind the best investment strategies of all time

Investment philosophies are as unique as the individuals who practice them. In his latest endeavor, investment expert and NYU Stern School of Business professor Aswath Damodaran goes beyond investment strategies and looks at the individual underlying philosophies that support these techniques. He explores all of the time-tested investment philosophies that have worked over the long run, and discusses the greatest investors who made these philosophies so famous. Investment Philosophies will expose readers to a wide range of investment philosophies so as to give them a sense of what drives investors in each philosophy, how they attempt to put these philosophies into practice, and what determines ultimate success. In doing this, Damodaran provides an unbiased forum for the presentation of different investment philosophies, while supplying the tools-the definition and measurement of risk, the notion of market efficiency and how to test for inefficiencies, and the components and determinants of trading costs-and the empirical evidence for readers to make their own judgments on the investment philosophy that fits their specific investment goals and views of how markets work. Filled with valuable insights and expert advice, this book reveals various investment philosophies to a general audience of investors, not purely to professional investors.

Aswath Damodaran (New York, NY) is Professor of Finance at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. He is the author of Applied Corporate Finance (Wiley: 0-471-33042-6) and Investment Valuation (Wiley: 0-471-41488-3).

Kroll on Futures Trading Strategy by Stanley Kroll : the book

The world of futures traders runs on a potent mixture of adrenaline, fear, and smarts. It's a zero-sum gane where 10 percent of the winnings, and the others take home an expensive experience. This book reveals the strategies and tactics that can put the odds in your favor.

Every chapter is a well-written vignette in which futures traders will recognize their own foibles and gain insights from Kroll's 30 years of experience.

Amongst the 19 chapters, these important subjects are addressed:

* the importance of a viable strategy and sound money management

* how to develop a successful strategy

* what to do when technical and fundamental analysis diverge

* creating and using a trading system

* how to play sideways markets

* identifying and playing the trend

* effective approaches to self-discipline

* why there are no bad markets

Traders and investors in stocks and bonds will also enjoy Kroll's guided tour of the futures market, and will learn skills that can be applied in those markets as well.

Stanley Kroll was in the commodity business beginning in 1959, when he joined Merrill Lynch as a brokerage trainee following four years of naval service.

After four years as a commodity specialist with Merrill, he was associated with the New York Stock Exchange firms as Commodity Department Manager, General Partner, and an allied member of the New York Stock Exchange.

In 1967, he founded his own commodity clearing firm and was a member of several commodity exchanges. He operated this firm until 1975, when he shut operations and retired from Wall Street. During this period he authored two books, The Commodity Futures Market Guide (with Irwin Shishko) and The Professional Commodity Trader, both published by Harper & Row.

Between 1975 and 1980, Mr. Kroll traveled, sailed, and co-authored a book "Cruising the Inland Waterways of Europe".

He returned to Wall Street in 1981 and operated his own trading firm from his Port Washington, NY office aboard a large motor yacht. He was a frequent lecturer on futures trading strategy and wrote the Financial World commodity columns beginning in 1983. He also wrote a monthly column for Singapore Business.

A Beginner's Guide to Charting Financial Markets: A practical introduction to technical analysis for investors by Michael Kahn : the book

This book is about arming you with one simple tool that will enhance your investment decision-making process - the chart. It is not the Holy Grail and even if applied exactly as offered there is no guarantee that you will be successful. But owning a high quality hammer is no guarantee that the user will build a beautiful house. The hammer is a tool and in most cases the user will still need other tools - and knowledge - to build that house. Despite its enormous and still growing popularity, technical market analysis still gets a bad rap. Purveyors of this art have been called tealeaf readers and many similar names, but that has nothing to do with what technical analysis is attempting to do. If we strip away all the fancy indicators and obtuse jargon, what is left are time-tested methods of finding investment opportunities and assessing their risk. There is no fortune telling here; only figuring out what we can do about the market. And what we do is the only part of the markets that we can control. What this book will do is give you the basics needed to look at a chart and get a feel for what the market or individual stock is doing. It covers only the nuts and bolts of chart analysis, barely touching upon the next level concepts and definitely leaving the whiz-bang stuff well alone. It should be stressed that this book will not replace your current methods of stock selection and investment strategies. What it can do, however, is add a new dimension to the analysis to confirm or refute what is already known. Basically, there is no need to give up other methods for selecting stocks although by the end of the book you may be drawn to further learning and eventually discover that charts can, indeed, be the primary, if not sole, investment decision-making tools.

Brian Lund, "Trading: The Best Of The Best - Top Trading Tips For Our Times" : the book

There is a temptation to discount tips as not providing real value because by their nature they are short and simple.

That type of thinking is a mistake. A good tip is not an end; it is the means to an end. It is the spark that makes you think in more depth about a specific aspect of trading.

On the following pages you will find over two hundred tips from sixty different traders and investors. Some tips may contradict others. Some may reinforce others. And some you may never have heard before. But no matter what your experience and skill level is in the markets, I think you will

find something of value in them.

However the most valuable thing about this book is how it addresses the four things that all other books on trading and investing lack;

TIMELINESS

This book was written in an eBook format specifically to address that issue. As you read through this book you will notice that each author is linked to, on both their social presence (i.e. website) and StockTwits profile, after each tip or piece of trading advice. It doesn’t matter if you read this book today, or five years from today; you will always be able to follow those links in order to get the most current content of the authors.

AUTHENTICITY

The tips in this book come from traders who participate in the current markets on a daily basis. For many of them it is the ONLY source of income in their lives and they understand the markets in a “real world” sense, not a theoretical one.

RELATABILITY

Although many of the people in this book have decades of experience at the highest levels of the trading profession, nothing that is written in these pages will be out of reach for the reader, and the ideas and advice contained within will apply to anyone from the novice to the expert retail trader.

ACCESSIBILITY

Have you ever read a book from a “trading pro” and wished you could get some clarification or expansion on a concept they wrote about? Chances are you can if you subscribe to their “exclusive” service or drop three grand to go to one of their seminars. You won’t have that problem with the

contributors in this book.

Almost all of them are accessible on StockTwits or Twitter and as long as you are sincere and respectful most will be more than happy to dialogue with you.
