| the perfect speculator: The Perfect Speculator Brad Koteshwar, 2005-06-08 Brad Koteshwar, the author of The Perfect Speculator, first came to be known for his report on a phenomenal 7000% price run in 52 weeks by Taser International's stock. When he released that report he had written for his clients as a fiction and looked for publicity in the local Arizona media, he was rebuffed as the who's who in the small but affluent communities of Arizona were all owners of Taser stocks. None of them wanted to believe that the stock price on Taser had topped out in April 2004.In this book, Brad Koteshwar continues the simple lessons of the stock market in a teacher and student format using the character of Boyd Hunt, a master speculator, as the teacher. In this day and age where fast, loose and easy money is hawked by the hundreds of stock market books, the author shows how the old, tried and true principles have always worked in past market cycles and will continue to work in future market cycles.

| the perfect speculator: Summary of Brad Koteshwar's The Perfect Speculator Everest Media,, 2022-04-26T22:59:00Z Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had written a report about Taser’s phenomenal price run of 7000 percent in 52 weeks, which was received well by readers. But some could not grasp the lessons buried within the book. I was not an expert on the English language, and my mind was focused on incorporating the market lessons within the fiction rather than being politically correct with impeccable use of written English. #2 I was shocked to hear that Boyd had lung cancer. He had been a heavy smoker for many years in his younger days, but had quit in his fifties. The damage done to his lungs in his younger days had apparently caught up with him. #3 I was nervous to take over Boyd’s work, as I was not as gifted a thinker as he was. I knew I was gifted with a quick mind, but he was an operator whose mind worked at a much higher plane. I felt inadequate. #4 There are no infallible systems. If there was one, the market would cease to exist. As the market will clean up the market, one must accept that fact and realize that all that is needed to be a successful speculator is in the price and volume action of leading stocks and indices. |
| the perfect speculator: Speculator John Hunt, Doug Casey, 2016-09-27 Halfway between Frederick Forsyth's Dogs of War and Ayn Rand's Fountainhead. The gold mine in the jungle, the mercenaries, and the child soldiers keep you turning the pages. A morality tale with modern twists. -John Mackey (Founder, Whole Foods Market and author of Conscious Capitalism) The greatest gold discovery in history draws a young Charles Knight to West Africa, where he unearths deception, violence, and romance. Xander Winn-a Dutchman on his own mission-mentors Charles on his voyage into the world of speculation and African politics. But a psychopathic rebel leader, the purveyors of a six-billion-dollar fraud, a team of mercenaries bent on early retirement, and the US government all get in his way. Everyone wants him dead. But Charles plans to strike it rich. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR SPECULATOR Speculator uses the cover of a thrilling tale of international intrigue to provide an economic and moral defense of the much-maligned speculator and an economic and moral condemnation of those who profit via force and fraud. Doug Casey and John Hunt have provided an invaluable service to those looking for unique ways to spread the ideas of liberty. -Dr. Ron Paul Speculator may prove to be the first in a new genre of fiction. Give this book to all your friends and enemies. -John Hart (Author of Redemption Road) Adventure... intrigue... philosophy... politics... you'll find it all in this fast-paced novel from Doug Casey and John Hunt. Most important, you'll find thoughts - the kind of thoughts that will make you think too. -Bill Bonner (Author of Empire of Debt and Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets) Speculator will keep you thinking long past the conclusion and for years to come.-Robert Ringer (Author of Looking Out for #1 and Winning Through Intimidation) Speculator is a roller-coaster lesson on the arcane world of gold-mine investing. An African revolution, massive fraud with massive profits and losses-the novel is such fun you don't notice how much you are learning. But, mostly, it is a good read with a unique protagonist. -Wendy McElroy (Author of Liberty for Women) Move over John Galt and Humphrey Bogart, Speculator has created an old-fashioned hero with contemporary style and sex appeal. Expert cicerones lead us through the dark world of African mining and international finance. It is a riveting tale, perfect for a day at the beach or a long-winter's-night read. Pure gold. -Richard Harteis (Author of Marathon and Publishing Director of Poets-Choice.com) Passionately pointed and provocative.-David Brin (Author of Earth and The Postman) Speculator combines the fast-paced action of a Dirk Pitt adventure story with the cerebral message of an Ayn Rand novel. The authors' knowledge of how markets, mining, and governments work is impressive, yet the book reads like a day at the beach. Crisp, intelligent, and witty, this new adventure series might even out-Rand Rand. -Jo Ann Skousen (Professor of English Literature, Chapman University) |

| the perfect speculator: The Perfect Fool! Brad Koteshwar, 2021-09-15 What is unique to these top stock market performers? GameStop (GME) ran from $9.47 to $325 in 4 months. Riot Blockchain (RIOT) ran up from $2.64 to $71.30 in 7 months. Cassava Sciences (SAVA) ran up from $11.93 to $100 in 5 months. Plug Power (PLUG) ran up from $6.83 to $70 in 7 months. Moderna (MRNA) and Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) also fell in the same category. During their runs, none of them ever violated an uptrend. What new set of stocks could offer similar trends and returns? If such additional stocks were to present themselves, would you make proper decisions? What is a good decision? If one examined the worst trading (or life) mistake one made, at that precise moment of making that decision one thought it was a good decision. Otherwise, would you have made that decision in the first place? What would it be worth in dollars if that big mistake could have been avoided? Decision-making is a skill that can be learned. With enough practice, one can excel in proper decision-making. The stock market is a perfect training ground to master this art. Where else is there real consequence that is easily and quickly measurable with every decision made? The author's outlook about stock trading is simple. You do not learn to walk, talk and run by reading books. You learn by doing. No different in the stock market. Or life. Ninety percent of the knowledge in life is learned by doing, not by reading about doing. Reviews: Wow, so good! And to think I spent thousands in tuition to the market, trying to learn! - Jennifer G, Trader-In-Training When a stock speaks, you should listen, should have been the title! Thanks for the watchlist of potential new gems! Now, I just need to learn to make proper decisions. ---A. Greenberg, Master Chartist Of Over 40 Years Thank you so much for presenting a book that made charts speak to me! ---Adam J. Read and learn to build your own watchlist of potential winners! That watchlist in the book, very interesting! ---Larry F. Well worth many-fold the subscription fees I pay for many stock-market services! Actual executable implementable knowledge in this book that can be used for a lifetime - it is priceless. ---J. O'Neill About the Author: Brad Koteshwar began trading Foreign Currency futures and Treasury Bond futures in the mid-eighties. He started trading stocks in 1987 and promptly experienced Black Monday 1987 first-hand. Having started his market experience with a major trading firm of the 1980s, he went on to work for himself in the 1990s. Now, approaching the end of his fourth decade in the markets, he leads a simple and uncomplicated life and uses the same simple uncomplicated approach to his stock market evaluation and activity. Many years have passed since his last book. But the lessons and the methods have not changed. The subtle art of speculation has not changed. He says that is because human beings do not change their emotions when it comes to money. The messages in the charts are clear, if only you can observe. |

| the perfect speculator: A Trader's First Book on Commodities Carley Garner, 2010-01-07 You can make large profits by trading commodities--but you’ll need significant practical knowledge of the associated risks and market characteristics before you start. A Trader’s First Book on Commodities is a simple, practical and useful guide for new commodities traders. Author Carley Garner provides specific guidance on accessing commodity markets cost-effectively, avoiding common beginners’ mistakes, and improving the odds of successful, profitable trades. Drawing on her extensive experience teaching traders, Garner shows how to calculate profit, loss, and risk in commodities, and choose the best brokerage firm, service level, data sources, and market access for your needs. She’ll help you: · Master the basics of trading commodities painlessly, avoiding beginners mistakes · Get what you need, and prevent paying for what you don’t need · Know what you’re buying, what it costs, the returns you’re earning and the risk you’re taking · Predict price, manage risk, and make trades that reflect your analysis Garner demystifies the industry’s colorful language, helps you clearly understand what you’re buying and selling, and walks you through the entire trading process. She concludes with a refreshingly new look at topics such as trading plans, handling margin calls, and even maintaining emotional stability as a trader. “This book provides the type of information every trader needs to know and the type of information too many traders had to learn the hard and expensive way. Carley offers practical need-to-know, real-world trading tips that are lacking in many books on futures. It will help not only the novice trader, but seasoned veterans as well. This book will serve as a must-have reference in every trader’s library.” --Phil Flynn, Vice President and Senior Market analyst at PFGBest Research, and a Fox Business Network contributor “Refreshing–It’s nice to see a broker who has actually been exposed to the professional side of trading and who bridges that chasm between exchange floor trading and customer service. Carley takes the time to explain verbiage, not just throw buzz words around. A good educational read in my opinion.” --Don Bright, Director, Bright Trading, LLC “This book has the perfect name, the perfect message, and the necessary information for any beginning trader. Take this book home!” --Glen Larson, President, Genesis Financial Technologies, Inc. “As a 35-year veteran of the CME/CBOT trading floor, I can tell you…those who think they can begin trading commodities without knowing the less talked about topics that Carley discusses in A Trader’s First Book on Commodities are sadly mistaken. Anyone who trades their own account, or would like to, should read this book.” --Danny Riley, DT Trading |
| the perfect speculator: The Perfect Watchlist - 1 Brad Koteshwar, 2022-03-07 A few words from the author: Which stocks to buy? When to buy these stocks? When to sell these stocks? What is the current hot sector? Biotech stocks? Tech stocks? Energy stocks? Growth stocks? No stocks? If one were making a killing in the market already, one would not be here reading this. A thousand books on stock trading out there. Quite honestly, none will make you rich. Only you, by yourself can make you rich. All the lessons you need to learn in the stock market, you must learn on your own. Through your own personal experience. Not from someone else's experience. Just like in any other life endeavor. You learn from your own experiences, not from someone else's. And you only learn by doing, not by reading. Okay, why then should you be buying this book? My answer is that you should not. Unless you are trying to confirm what your eyes are telling you about the market. This book was written for my own use to keep a running tab of the stocks that are on my watchlist as of this writing. Six months or a year from now, who knows, the list may or may not have changed much. Just have to wait, and see. Six months or later from now, once can look at these stocks and see what messages they were giving that came to be true. What is a watchlist? Watchlist is a term now everybody uses. But it really is a list of stocks that is on a list that you are watching. Watching for clues, hints, and actionable opportunities. It is a living, breathing list. Which means, it is constantly changing, ebbing, and waning with market conditions. You do not have to try hard to find stocks that wish to join or drop off this list. It happens automatically, dictated by the market. The best thing about a watchlist is that you have no reason to believe anyone else. All you need to know will be disclosed by the stocks on your watchlist. Is the market strong? Can you make money in the market under current conditions? Is this a bad market? Is this a good market? It is going up? Going down? Choppy? All that is there to know is indicated by the stocks on your watchlist. My watchlist has a few stocks at the current time. Many are unknown stocks to many. Some are known stocks to some. What is on my list may not be on your list. That is because what I see are seen from my eyes. Your eyes may see something else. My eyes learned to see what they see due to my own experiences. Yours will see what they want to see from your own experiences in the market. |
| the perfect speculator: Jesse Livermore Richard Smitten, 2002-07-15 In dem Bestseller Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (bei Wiley 0471 05970 6) wurde er bereits porträtiert. Aber dieses Buch ist die erste umfassende Biographie der Börsenlegende Jesse Livermore. Obwohl Livermore vor über 50 Jahren starb, gilt er bei Spitzenhändlern noch heute als der größte Aktienhändler aller Zeiten. Livermore war ein rätselhafter Einzelgänger, ein Menschenfeind und ein notorischer Geizhals, doch er revolutionierte den Aktienhandel durch innovative Timing-Verfahren, durch Strategien zum Geldmanagement und durch seine Methode des Handelns in aufsteigenden Märkten, d.h. durch Kauf von Werten mit starkem Momentum. Autor Richard Smitten zeichnet hier ein lebendiges Bild von Livermore und der Ära, in der er lebte und arbeitete. Geschickt verbindet er Augenzeugenberichte jener, die ihn kannten, mit faszinierenden Geschichten über sensationelle Liebesabenteuer, Schießereien und Selbstmorde sowie mit einer ausführlichen Darstellung jener Handelsstrategien, die Livermore reich, berühmt und zum größten Aktienhändler gemacht haben, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Eine ebenso interessante wie amüsante Lektüre. |
| the perfect speculator: The Little Book That Still Beats the Market Joel Greenblatt, 2010-09-07 In 2005, Joel Greenblatt published a book that is already considered one of the classics of finance literature. In The Little Book that Beats the Market—a New York Times bestseller with 300,000 copies in print—Greenblatt explained how investors can outperform the popular market averages by simply and systematically applying a formula that seeks out good businesses when they are available at bargain prices. Now, with a new Introduction and Afterword for 2010, The Little Book that Still Beats the Market updates and expands upon the research findings from the original book. Included are data and analysis covering the recent financial crisis and model performance through the end of 2009. In a straightforward and accessible style, the book explores the basic principles of successful stock market investing and then reveals the author’s time-tested formula that makes buying above average companies at below average prices automatic. Though the formula has been extensively tested and is a breakthrough in the academic and professional world, Greenblatt explains it using 6th grade math, plain language and humor. He shows how to use his method to beat both the market and professional managers by a wide margin. You’ll also learn why success eludes almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone “knows” it. While the formula may be simple, understanding why the formula works is the true key to success for investors. The book will take readers on a step-by-step journey so that they can learn the principles of value investing in a way that will provide them with a long term strategy that they can understand and stick with through both good and bad periods for the stock market. As the Wall Street Journal stated about the original edition, “Mr. Greenblatt...says his goal was to provide advice that, while sophisticated, could be understood and followed by his five children, ages 6 to 15. They are in luck. His ‘Little Book’ is one of the best, clearest guides to value investing out there.” |

Stas, a Polish emigre, is torn by his conflicting ambitions as an artist and a stock market speculator. Stas's wife, Lupe, is a young Mexican artist, twenty years his junior.When Lupe's career suddenly blossoms, just as Stas's interest in art is supplanted by his passion for the stock market, the calm surface of their lives is roiled by the undercurrents of loneliness and jealousy each of them feels.A classic triangle quickly develops.

And when Lupe develops a passionate friendship with Gosia, Stas is filed with dismay.By turns provocative, quirky, and humorous, Lone Stars is a deliciously off-beat novel that offers an original view of American life in all its shimmering grotesquerie and glory. |
| the perfect speculator: Giving Good Weight John McPhee, 2011-04-01 You people come into the market—the Greenmarket, in the open air under the down pouring sun—and you slit the tomatoes with your fingernails. With your thumbs, you excavate the cheese. You choose your stringbeans one at a time. You pulp the nectarines and rape the sweet corn. You are something wonderful, you are—people of the city—and we, who are almost without exception strangers here, are as absorbed with you as you seem to be with the numbers on our hanging scales. So opens the title piece in this collection of John McPhee's classic essays, grouped here with four others, including Brigade de Cuisine, a profile of an artistic and extraordinary chef; The Keel of Lake Dickey, in which a journey down the whitewater of a wild river ends in the shadow of a huge projected dam; a report on plans for the construction of nuclear power plants that would float in the ocean; and a pinball shoot-out between two prizewinning journalists. |

Jack Schwager's deep knowledge of the markets and his extensive network of personal contacts throughout the industry have set him apart as the definitive market chronicler of our age. -Ed Seykota Very interesting indeed! -John Train, author of The Money Masters Successful trading demands longtime experience because it requires firsthand knowledge. If there is a shortcut to this requirement, however, it is in reading about the experiences of others. Jack Schwager's book provides that shortcut. If you find yourself sweating upon occasion as you read, then you're as close to the trading experience as you can get without actually doing it yourself. -Robert R. Prechter, Jr., editor, The Elliott Wave Theorist THE NEW MARKET WIZARDS Some traders distinguish themselves from the herd. These supertraders make millions of dollars-sometimes in hours-and consistently outperform their peers. As he did in his acclaimed national bestseller, Market Wizards, Jack Schwager interviews a host of these supertraders, spectacular winners whose success occurs across a spectrum of financial markets. These traders use different methods, but they all share an edge. How do they do it? What separates them from the others? What can they teach the average trader or investor? In The New Market Wizards, these wildly successful traders relate the financial strategies that have rocketed them to success, as well as the embarrassing losses that have proven them all too human.

| the perfect speculator: Chatsworth Ellen V. Fayer, Stan Fayer, Walter A. Brower, 2010 Chatsworth, a small village in the New Jersey Pinelands, was known as Shamong until 1901. The community traces its beginning to the early 1700s, when settlers mined and forged bog iron to make cannonballs for the American Revolution, and farming was the primary source of income. In the mid-1800s, Chatsworth was a popular stopping point for stagecoach travelers to the Jersey Shore. The arrival of the railroad removed the remoteness of the village and captured the attention of people throughout the country. Prince Mario Ruspoli de Poggio-Suasa, an attach of the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C., built an elegant villa at the lake. Soon after, the exquisite Chatsworth Country Club was built and counted among its membership a sitting vice president of the United States. It was during this period that Chatsworth played a dominant role in the development of the cranberry industry and began attracting hunters and others seeking recreational opportunities in the Pinelands. The cultivated blueberry industry also had its beginnings in Chatsworth in the 1930s. |

The second edition is a solid arm-chair read illustrated with 150 photographic images captured at historical reenactments during the last 20 years, with another 160 images and all the location information found in a 60-page appendix with additional commentary.

You'll find the sites where two of Boone's sons were slain by warriors, where he rescued his kidnapped daughter from Shawnee captors, where his brother was killed by Shawnees who mistook him for Boone, where he tricked a British governor, and where he was court-martialed on charges of treason. In David, Kentucky, you'll visit the hollow where Daniel Boone saw his first buffalo. At Fort Boonesborough State Park, you'll learn how his courage and cunning defeated a Shawnee siege. From Cumberland Gap, you can follow the 1775 Boone Trace which helped usher in a quarter-million settlers into Kentucky along the later Wilderness Road. And in Pennsylvania and Missouri, you'll see the homes where he was born into and departed this world-a thousand miles, 86 years, and a legendary life apart. |
| the perfect speculator: Technical Analysis of Stock Trends Robert D. Edwards, John Magee, 2011-08 2011 Reprint of 1958 Fourth Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In 1948 Robert D. Edwards and John Magee published Technical Analysis of Stock Trends which is widely considered to be one of the seminal works of the discipline. It is exclusively concerned with trend analysis and chart patterns and remains in use to the present. As is obvious, early technical analysis was almost exclusively the analysis of charts, because the processing power of computers was not available for statistical analysis. Technical analysis is a financial term used to denote a security analysis discipline for forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. Behavioral economics and quantitative analysis incorporate technical analysis, which being an aspect of active management stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory. |

| the perfect speculator: Assassin Doug Casey, John Hunt, 2020-12 Charles Knight is released from an especially unpleasant stay in prison, only to rejoin a society overwhelmed by looting, riots, arson, viral panic, mob-think and economic decay . . . with a presidential election in the balance. The cronies are in charge, abetted by their media lackeys and political puppets. They'll do anything to get what they want. How can Charles stop the deadly crimes committed by those who control the law, print the money, and confuse the minds of the people? Crimes that push millions into poverty, servitude and ignorance. Will a highly unorthodox presidential candidate and a cryptocurrency network that turns the surveillance state on its head be enough to expose and defeat them? Or do some people just need to be killed? The cronies are moving fast. Charles Knight needs to move faster. |
| the perfect speculator: The Compatriots Andrei Soldatov, Irina Borogan, 2019-10-08 The authors of The Red Web examine the shifting role of Russian expatriates throughout history, and their complicated, unbreakable relationship with the mother country--be it antagonistic or far too chummy. The history of Russian espionage is soaked in blood, from a spontaneous pistol shot that killed a secret policeman in Romania in 1924 to the attempt to poison an exiled KGB colonel in Salisbury, England, in 2017. Russian émigrés have found themselves continually at the center of the mayhem. Russians began leaving the country in big numbers in the late nineteenth century, fleeing pogroms, tsarist secret police persecution, and the Revolution, then Stalin and the KGB--and creating the third-largest diaspora in the world. The exodus created a rare opportunity for the Kremlin. Moscow's masters and spymasters fostered networks of spies, many of whom were emigrants driven from Russia. By the 1930s and 1940s, dozens of spies were in New York City gathering information for Moscow. But the story did not end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some émigrés have turned into assets of the resurgent Russian nationalist state, while others have taken up the dissident challenge once more--at their personal peril. From Trotsky to Litvinenko, The Compatriots is the gripping history of Russian score-settling around the world. |

| the perfect speculator: Soros Michael T. Kaufman, 2010-09-29 A penniless émigré who made a fortune and became one of the great philanthropists of the twentieth century, George Soros has led a remarkable life. This biography brings forth his story in unprecedented depth, from his childhood as a Jew in occupied Budapest during World War II to his conquests on Wall Street and the establishment of his philanthropic Open Society foundations.

Enigmatic, contradictory, and inspiring, George Soros is one of the most intriguing and globally influential men of our time. In this accomplished biography, written with Soros’s cooperation, Michael T. Kaufman fully illuminates the man, his motivations, and his legacy. |
| the perfect speculator: The Futures Emily Lambert, 2012-03-06 In The Futures, Forbes magazine senior writer Emily Lambert tells the rich and dramatic history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, the original futures market. Commodities exchanges have become some of the largest financial markets in our global economic system, yet the exchanges themselves and the speculators who run them remain largely misunderstood, as does their chief instrument: the futures contract. Lambert describes the emergence of the futures business as a kind of meeting place for gamblers and farmers that subsequently transformed into a sophisticated electronic market, one where contracts are traded at lightning-fast speeds. When Wall Street adopted the futures contract without the rules and close-knit social bonds that had made trading it in Chicago work so well, however, the effects were disastrous. But, as Lambert argues, the traditional futures market—with its written and cultural limits—can serve as a useful example of how markets ought to work, thereby becoming a tonic for our current financial ills. |
| the perfect speculator: The Infatuations Javier Marías, 2013-03-07 The Infatuations is a metaphysical murder mystery and a stunningly original literary achievement by Javier Marías, the internationally acclaimed author of A Heart So White and Your Face Tomorrow. Every day, María Dolz stops for breakfast at the same café. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the café with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria approaches her to offer her condolences, an entanglement begins which sheds new light on this apparently random, pointless death. With The Infatuations, Javier Marías brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry, addressing existential questions of life, death, love and morality. The Infatuations is an extraordinary, immersive book about the terrible force of events and their consequences. 'I am greatly impressed by the quality of Marías's writing . . . he uses language like an anatomist uses the scalpel to cut away the layers of the flesh in order to lay bare the innermost secrets of that strangest of species, the human being' W. G. Sebald 'Years ago, I said that Marías was Spain's best living writer . . . Nothing, afterwards, has made me alter that opinion' Eduardo Mendoza, El País ''[I am] enthralled by his strange mix of made-up memories, lost experiences and real-life fantasies' Marina Warner, Guardian 'Stylish, cerebral . . . Marías is a startling talent' The New York Times Javier Marías was born in Madrid in 1951. He has published ten novels, two collections of short stories and several volumes of essays. His work has been translated into thirty-two languages and won a dazzling array of international literary awards, including the prestigious Dublin IMPAC award for A Heart So White. He is also a highly practised translator into Spanish of English authors, including Joseph Conrad, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Thomas Browne and Laurence Sterne. He has held academic posts in Spain, the United States and in Britain, as Lecturer in Spanish Literature at Oxford University. Margaret Jull Costa has been a literary translator for over twenty-five years and has translated many novels and short stories by Portuguese, Spanish and Latin American writers, including Javier Marías, Fernando Pessoa, José Saramago, Bernardo Atxaga and Ramón del Valle-Inclán. She has won various prizes for her work, including, in 2008, the PEN Book-of-the-Month Translation Award and the Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize for her version of Eça de Queiroz's masterpiece The Maias, and, most recently, the 2011 Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize for The Elephant's Journey by José Saramago. |
| the perfect speculator: Superperformance Stocks Richard S. Love, 1977 The Author suggests using the 4-year political cycle as an investment strategy. And subsequently, he writes about the superperformance stocks of the time, and the common denominators of those stocks. What traits do they have in common, how to find them? Definition of a superperformance stock: One that at least tripled in price and increased at a minimum rate of three times during a two-year period. A move was considered ended if the price failed to reach a new high in less than six months, or if there was a price reaction of 25 percent or more. Stocks that have a chance to become superperformance stocks share some of these characteristics: Large increases of earnings, especially if the large increase comes as a surprise. Mergers and acquisitions. New management. New products. Large increases of earnings and sales are the main reason for a stock to rise substantially. Other reasons come into play as well, as mergers and acquisitions, new management and new products are all in service of providing higher earning power for a company. The market discounts the future, and that might be enough to push the price higher significantly, even though the increase in earnings is not still visible. However, if those expectations are not realized in the future, the price of the stock may drop severely, as the move would inflate the valuation. The best results come after the market has experienced a severe correction or a bear market, because that is the time when there would be many bargain opportunities in that environment. The environment is dependent on the fiscal and monetary situation, as the lowering of interest rates and fiscal stimulation lead to higher stock prices. And that is the environment where superperformance stocks are abundant and have the most potential. Rising interest rates and fiscal tightening are negative for stocks in general, and in that kind of environment it is much harder to find a stock with potential to have a large increase in price. History often repeats itself in the stock market. The names of the stocks change, but the overall situation is always similar. Acceleration of earning power is the most important thing to look for when examining the potential of a stock to become a superperformance stock. And the superperformance move will most often coincide with the bull market cycle of the general market. |

| the perfect speculator: Stock Trading and Investing Using Volume Price Analysis Anna Coulling, 2018-01-13 In this book of over 200 worked examples for stock traders and investors, you will discover an approach that was used by the iconic traders of the past to build their vast fortunes. Traders such as Jesse Livermore, Richard Wyckoff and Richard Ney all succeeded because they understood the power of the tape which delivered just two key pieces of information, namely volume and price, and from which they were able to anticipate where the market was going next. This approach was also codified by Richard Wyckoff into three principle laws, and forms the basis of volume price analysis. It is a powerful methodology that can be applied to all markets, instruments and timeframes regardless of whether you are an investor, trader or speculator. The examples presented in this book are drawn primarily from US stock markets, but also includes examples taken from the futures markets, such as indices, commodities, currency futures and bonds. Each chart example is fully annotated to illustrate and highlight key points in the associated text, and together provide a detailed and comprehensive study of the volume price relationship, and giving clear signals as to where the stock is going next.And regardless of whether you are selecting stocks for growth, dividend yield, option strategies, or for speculative day trading, volume price analysis will highlight which ones to buy or sell, and when. |
