Michael C. Thomsett, "Getting Started in Stock Analysis, Illustrated edition" : the book

Getting Started in Stock Analysis is an exciting visual guide to both technical and fundamental analysis for the private investor. Rather than addressing the benefits of fundamental or technical analysis, author and trader Michael C. Thomsett draws upon three decades′ experience in the stock market to demonstrate why traders need to employ both. Readers will learn how both methods are different aspects of the same cause and effect within the market, and how exploiting one method at the expense of the other results in an incomplete picture of the true market behavior. Coverage includes a full explanation of the range of indicators necessary to create a working system of analysis that anyone can perform on their own, helping long– and short–term investors alike improve selection and confirm investment decisions. Charts of actual listed companies demonstrate how these techniques are applied in a real trading environment.

Investors and traders are constantly seeking the "magic bullet" for identifying profitable trades and timing both entry and exit. Since the 1940s, the average holding period has fallen from eight years to eight weeks – making fundamental and technical analysis more challenging. This book describes how combining these approaches can compensate for the modern market environment to produce a more accurate – and profitable – analysis.

Choose better stocks and other securities

Improve entry and exit while managing risk

Develop more robust analysis skills

Blend fundamental and technical analysis techniques

The reduced cost of trading, ease of access via the Internet, and changes in the overall culture of the stock market have increased the pace and volume of trading more than ever before. In this environment, sharp analysis becomes ever more critical. Getting Started in Stock Analysis is the visual guide to more confident investing.

Insider Buy Superstocks: The Super Laws of How I Turned $46K into $6.8 Million (14,972%) in 28 Months by Jesse C. Stine : the book

"Jesse's story is one of remarkable achievement. What is most impressive about this book is the mindfulness with which he shares his craft. His approach is to educate by relating examples and key principles from his investing success, and it is done with an honesty and awareness that differentiates "Insider Buy Superstocks" from other classic investment books.

I highly recommend this book to individual investors and professional money managers."

-Whit Collier, Portfolio Manager, Hermes Global Equities Advisors

"Jesse Stine never spent time working professionally on Wall Street. In his book, he uses this fact to his advantage. His thought process is not constrained by methodologies everyone else uses. Stine demonstrates how individuals can actually have an edge versus the pros. His process of combining technical analysis with fundamental factors such as insider buying is truly unique."

-Ravee Mehta, author of "The Emotionally Intelligent Investor"

"I highly recommend "Insider Buy Superstocks", it not only tells the story of how Jesse Stine made millions in the stock market but shows readers an innovative trading process that could give them a chance to make enough money to dramatically change their lives."

-Steve Burns, author of "New Trader, Rich Trader"

"I've read a lot of books in my time but I think the tone you take is just what people need - a bit of reality!"

-Tim Harbort, Senior Advisor, Sharemarket College

Maury Harris, "Inside the Crystal Ball: How to Make and Use Forecasts" : https://www.nitroflare.com/view/AE2FE499E3E7078/1118865073.pdf

A practical guide to understanding economic forecasts

In Inside the Crystal Ball: How to Make and Use Forecasts, UBS Chief U.S. Economist Maury Harris helps readers improve their own forecasting abilities by examining the elements and processes that characterize successful and failed forecasts. The book:

Provides insights from Maury Harris, named among Bloomberg′s 50 Most Influential People in Global Finance.

Demonstrates "best practices" in the assembly and evaluation of forecasts. Harris walks readers through the real–life steps he and other successful forecasters take in preparing their projections. These valuable procedures can help forecast users evaluate forecasts and forecasters as inputs for making their own specific business and investment decisions.

Emphasizes the critical role of judgment in improving projections derived from purely statistical methodologies. Harris explores the prerequisites for sound forecasting judgment—a good sense of history and an understanding of contemporary theoretical frameworks—in readable and illuminating detail.

Addresses everyday forecasting issues, including the credibility of government statistics and analyses, fickle consumers, and volatile business spirits. Harris also offers procedural guidelines for special circumstances, such as natural disasters, terrorist threats, gyrating oil and stock prices, and international economic crises.

Evaluates major contemporary forecasting issues—including the now commonplace hypothesis of sustained economic sluggishness, possible inflation outcomes in an environment of falling unemployment, and projecting interest rates when central banks implement unprecedented low interest rate and quantitative easing (QE) policies.

Brings to life Harris′s own experiences and those of other leading economists in his almost four–decade career as a professional economist and forecaster. Dr. Harris presents his personal recipes for long–term credibility and commercial success to anyone offering advice about the future.

Basic Black-Scholes: Option Pricing and Trading By Timothy Falcon Crack : the book

This revised second edition of Basic Black-Scholes gives extremely clear explanations of Black-Scholes option pricing theory, and discusses direct applications of the theory to option trading. The presentation does not go far beyond basic Black-Scholes for three reasons: First, a novice need not go far beyond Black-Scholes to make money in the options markets; Second, all high-level option pricing theory is simply an extension of Black-Scholes; and Third, there already exist many books that look far beyond Black-Scholes without first laying the firm foundation given here. The trading advice does not go far beyond elementary call and put positions because more complex trades are simply combinations of these.

Topics in Numerical Methods for Finance By Mark Cummins, Finbarr Murphy, John J.H. Miller : the book

Presenting state-of-the-art methods in the area, the book begins with a presentation of weak discrete time approximations of jump-diffusion stochastic differential equations for derivatives pricing and risk measurement. Using a moving least squares reconstruction, a numerical approach is then developed that allows for the construction of arbitrage-free surfaces. Free boundary problems are considered next, with particular focus on stochastic impulse control problems that arise when the cost of control includes a fixed cost, common in financial applications. The text proceeds with the development of a fear index based on equity option surfaces, allowing for the measurement of overall fear levels in the market. The problem of American option pricing is considered next, applying simulation methods combined with regression techniques and discussing convergence properties. Changing focus to integral transform methods, a variety of option pricing problems are considered. The COS method is practically applied for the pricing of options under uncertain volatility, a method developed by the authors that relies on the dynamic programming principle and Fourier cosine series expansions. Efficient approximation methods are next developed for the application of the fast Fourier transform for option pricing under multifactor affine models with stochastic volatility and jumps. Following this, fast and accurate pricing techniques are showcased for the pricing of credit derivative contracts with discrete monitoring based on the Wiener-Hopf factorisation. With an energy theme, a recombining pentanomial lattice is developed for the pricing of gas swing contracts under regime switching dynamics. The book concludes with a linear and nonlinear review of the arbitrage-free parity theory for the CDS and bond markets.
