Scott Patterson, "Dark Pools: High-Speed Traders, A.I. Bandits, and the Threat to the Global Financial System" : the book

A news-breaking account of the global stock market's subterranean battles, Dark Pools portrays the rise of the "bots"- artificially intelligent systems that execute trades in milliseconds and use the cover of darkness to out-maneuver the humans who've created them.

In the beginning was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named Island where small traders swapped stocks, and over time his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables.

By then, the market that Levine had sought to fix had turned upside down, birthing secretive exchanges called dark pools and a new species of trading machines that could think, and that seemed, ominously, to be slipping the control of their human masters.

Dark Pools is the fascinating story of how global markets have been hijacked by trading robots--many so self-directed that humans can't predict what they'll do next.

The 5 Day Momentum Method by Jeff Cooper : the book

How Would You Like To:

1. Buy a stock today

2. Sell it for a solid profit in 5 days

3. Repeat this again and again for the rest of your life!

Jeff Cooper's 5 Day Momentum Method Can Help You Do This

In his first book, Hit & Run Trading, Jeff Cooper taught traders how he has made his living day-trading stocks over the past decade. The book is such a success that it is now back for its fifth printing in its first 18 months.

Now, for the first time, Jeff Cooper releases the 5 Day Momentum Method -- his most powerful trading system for those traders who are looking for substantial 3 - 7 day gains.

How The 5 Day Momentum Method Works:

Rapidly moving momentum stocks always pause before resuming their trend. The 5 Day Momentum Method will teach you how to identify the exact day and price to enter these stocks before they explode again. You will usually risk only 1-2 points and your upside potential is 5 - 20 points, all within 5 days!

Do I Have To Sit In Front Of A Screen All Day Watching My Stocks?

Absolutely not! The best part of the 5 Day Momentum Method is that you do not have to watch your positions intra-day. Simply enter an order to buy or sell short, give your broker an order with your protective stop, and then go back to your daily routine. You can check prices each evening at your convenience. At the end of 5 days, simply take your profits (if your stop wasn't triggered) and go onto the next set-up.

John Allen Paulos, "A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market" : the book

From America's liveliest writer on mathematics, a witty and insightful book on the stock market and the irrepressibility of our dreams of wealth. In A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market best-selling author John Allen Paulos demonstrates what the tools of mathematics can tell us about the vagaries of the stock market. Employing his trademark stories, vignettes, paradoxes, and puzzles (and even a film treatment), Paulos addresses every thinking reader's curiosity about the market: Is it efficient? Is it rational? Is there anything to technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and other supposedly time-tested methods of picking stocks? How can one quantify risk? What are the most common scams? What light do fractals, network theory, and common psychological foibles shed on investor behavior? Are there any approaches to investing that truly outperform the major indexes? Can a deeper knowledge of mathematics help beat the odds?All of these questions are explored with the engaging erudition that made Paulos's A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper and Innumeracy favorites with both armchair mathematicians and readers who want to think like them. Paulos also shares the cautionary tale of his own long and disastrous love affair with WorldCom. In the tradition of Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street and Jeremy Siegel's Stocks for the Long Run , this wry and illuminating book is for anyone, investor or not, who follows the markets-or knows someone who does.

Money, Investment and Consumption: Keynes’s Macroeconomics Rethought By O. F. Hamouda : the book

Contrary to the commonly perpetuated belief that Keynes's theory is appropriate only to economic depressions, the author of this provocative book maintains that Keynes provided a complete set of macroeconomic relations and the ingredients of a new theoretical model, much more reflective of and analytically appropriate to the 21st century than those on which current macroeconomics is based.

imothy P. Carney - The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money : the book

"Politicians like to say that government is on the side of the little guy. But with impressive documentation and persuasive examples, Tim Carney shows how government power and regulation are typically used to assist the powerful." - Paul A. Gigot, Editorial Page Editor, the "Wall Street Journal". "Exposes the dirty little secret of American politics: how big businesses work with statist politicians to diminish the prosperity and freedom of consumers, taxpayers, and entrepreneurs. Carney employs top-notch writing ability, passion for liberty, and understanding of economics to demolish the myth that big business is a foe of big government. Everyone who seeks to understand who really benefits from big government should read this book, as should anyone who still believes that the interventionist state benefits the average person." - Congressman Ron Paul U.S. House of Representatives, 14th District of Texas. "Small entrepreneurial businesses are the backbone success of our great economy. They are the biggest job and wealth creators. Is that why big corpocratic behemoth firms collude with big government for a liberal agenda of higher taxes and overregulation that will punish the small risk-takers? Tim Carney's new book describes how anti-business big business can be." - Lawrence Kudlow Host of CNBC's "Kudlow & Company". "Tim Carney explodes the myth that big business and big government are natural opponents. All too often, as he points out, they're both engaged in a common enterprise: picking your pocket." - Ramesh Ponnuru Senior Editor, "National Review". "A romping tour de force of the love affair between big business and big government from Teddy Roosevelt and the Robber Barons to Enron and the Kyoto Treaty. Indispensable for understanding how government regulation really works." - Donald Devine Grewcock Professor of Political Science, Bellevue University. "Every CEO in America should read this book today, issue new directives to their bureaucrat - appeasing Washington lobbyist tomorrow, and join in the fight for economic liberalization." - Fred L. Smith, Jr. Founder and President, Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Robert Dubil, "An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets" : the book

An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets is the first book to explicitly show the linkages of markets for equities, currencies, fixed income and commodities. Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All math is simple, but there is lots of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of various market segments. The book is aimed at entrants into investment banking and dealing businesses, existing personnel in non–trading jobs, and people outside of the financial services industry trying to gain a view into what drives dealers in today’s highly integrated marketplace. A committed reader is guaranteed to leave with a deep understanding of all current issues. "This is an excellent introduction to the financial markets by an author with a strong academic approach and practical insights from trading experience. At a time when the proliferation of financial instruments and the increased use of sophisticated mathematics in their analysis, makes an introduction to financial markets intimidating to most, this book is very useful. It provides an insight into the core concepts across markets and uses mathematics at an accessible level. It equips readers to understand the fundamentals of markets, valuation and trading. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand the essentials of successfully trading, structuring or using the entire range of financial instruments available today." —Varun Gosain, Principal, Constellation Capital Management, New York "Robert Dubil, drawing from his extensive prior trading experience, has made a significant contribution by writing an easy to understand book about the complex world of today’s financial markets, using basic mathematical concepts. The book is filled with insights and real life examples about how traders approach the market and is required reading for anyone with an interest in understanding markets or a career in trading." —George Handjinicolaou, Partner, Etolian Capital, New York "This book provides an excellent guide to the current state of the financial markets. It combines academic rigour with the author’s practical experience of the financial sector, giving both students and practitioners an insight into the arbitrage pricing mechanism." —Zenji Nakamura, Managing Director, Europe Fixed Income Division, Nomura International plc, London
