John R. Nofsinger


Synopsis

The most common investor mistakes — and how you can avoid them!

  • Lessons from the spectacular failures of the world's most prominent investors!
  • Practical techniques for avoiding overconfidence, hubris, greed, shortsightedness, and other investment blunders.
  • By John Nofsinger, author of Investment Madness: How Psychology Affects Your Investing...and What to Do About It.
Every investor — even the world's most prominent and respected investors — are subject to the foibles of human psychology. Now, John Nofsinger, identifies the most common investor mistakes through the prism of the world's most public investment catastrophes. Using other people's money and other people's disasters, Investment Blunders teaches a wide range of critical lessons every investor must learn. John Nofsinger shows how to avoid the overconfidence displayed by John Meriwether and David Mullins, and by Nobel laureates Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the founders of the failed Long Term Capital Management hedge fund. He demonstrates how to avoid the hubris that nearly destroyed KKR in its bidding war over RJR Nabisco; how to identify and control the greed that sank Michael Milken and many of his contemporaries; and how to keep sight of the fundamentals, avoiding the disastrous investments that led to the 1980s' S&L crisis. Read each Blunder, and you will learn of a common error that you can avoid in the future.

Stephen Bigalow: Profitable Candlestick Pattern

Synopsis

Unlock the secrets of an ancient charting tool
The most ancient form of charting, the Japanese candlestick method has become an extremely popular analytical tool among the new generation of traders. However, because of the aura of mysticism surrounding candlesticks and the arcane terminology typically used to describe them, many traders in the West never really learn how to use them properly and exploit their full potential. Profitable Candlestick Trading demystifies candlesticks for today's traders. With the help of numerous real-world examples, Bigalow clearly explains how candlesticks work, how to read them, and how to maximize profits with them. Bigalow shares some of his original candlestick-based trading programs, the same programs which have yielded impressive results for his clients at leading financial firms in the United States and abroad.

Mark Douglas: Trading In The Zone



Conflicts, contradictions and paradoxes in thinking can spell disaster for even a highly motivated, astute and well grounded trader. Mark Douglas, a commodities trader and one who has been around traders for over fifteen years, sends the message that thinking strategy will profoundly influence a trader's success rate. Douglas addresses five very specific issues to give traders the insight and understanding about themselves that will make them consistent winners in the market.

Trading In The Zone offers specific solutions to the "people factor" of commodity price movement. It uncovers the true culprit for lack of consistency when it comes to stock picking: lack of focus and self-confidence. Through simple exercises, traders will learn how to think in terms of probabilities, and adopt the specific beliefs necessary to developing a winner's mindset. Along the way, they'll gain keen insights into their own entrenched misconceptions about the market.

Backed by compelling examples, Trading In The Zone adds a new dimension to getting an edge on the market. Through a better understanding of themselves, as well as of Wall Street's realities, traders will come to leverage the power of their psyche for unprecedented profitability.

Mark Douglas: The Disciplined Trader


In The Disciplined Trader, Mark douglas, an expert on the dynamics of trading, shows why most traders are unprepared for the different-often alien-strategies required for success in the trading environment.

With rare insight based on his first-hand commodity trading experience, the author demonstrates why the beliefs learned to function effectively in society are often formidable psychological barriers in trading. After examining the causes for the development of losing attitudes, the book prepares the reader for a thorough "mental house cleaning" of deeply rooted concepts and traditional thought processes. And then it shows the reader how to develop and apply attitudes and behaviors that transcend psychological obstacles and lead to success.

The Disciplined Trader helps you join the elite few who have learned how to control their trading behavior (the few traders who consistently take the greatest percentage of profits out of the market) by developing a systematic, step-by-step approach for winning week after week, month after month.

The Disciplined Trader is divided into four parts:

- An overview of the psychological requirements of the trading environment
- A definition of the problems and challenges of becoming a successful trader
- Basic insights into what behavior may need to be changed, and how to build a framework for accomplishing this goal
- How to develop specific trading skills based on a clear, objective perspective on market action

In a comprehensive and logical manner, Mark Douglas shows you how to examine and limit your trading behavior-how to develop the mental discipline possessed by the small minority of winners who make money consistently (weekly,monthly, and yearly).

Some of the skills focused on in The Disciplined Trader include: learning the positive dynamics of achieving goals...recognizing skills needed to progress as a trader (and how to stay aware of them instead of just the by-product--the money acquired)...adapting yourself to respond to fundamental market changes...identifying your "risk comfort level" and learning how to expand it...acting immediately on opportunities...letting the market tell you how much is enough...controlling your perspective of market movement...and
much more.
