Abstract

The main objective of this 2002 book is to show that behind the bewildering diversity of historical speculative episodes it is possible to find hidden regularities, thus preparing the way for a unified theory of market speculation. Speculative bubbles require the study of various episodes in order for a comparative perspective to be obtained and the analysis developed in this book follows a few simple but unconventional ideas. Investors are assumed to exhibit the same basic behavior during speculative episodes whether they trade stocks, real estate, or postage stamps. The author demonstrates how some of the basic concepts of dynamical system theory, such as the notions of impulse response, reaction times and frequency analysis, play an instrumental role in describing and predicting speculative behavior. This book will serve as a useful introduction for students of econophysics, and readers with a general interest in economics as seen from the perspective of physics.

Abstract

"Market quality" is a complex, ambiguous term that means different things to different people. How should it be defined, measured, monitored, and improved? What is the evidence about the current state of our markets? How effective have recent innovations been? How can we better meet investor needs? These are some of the questions that we address in this book, along with a broad range of issues concerning equity market structure, regulation, and the quest for best execution. Throughout, particular attention is given to the perspective of front line participants on the buy-side and sell-side trading desks.

Abstract

Shortly after most novice traders discover how trading works and begin to realize that they have the potential to make unlimited amounts of money in the financial markets, they start dreaming the near-impossible dream. They fantasize about buying that condo in Boca Raton for their parents or surprising their son with a brand-new car on his 16th birthday. They even begin to imagine themselves opening their own trading firm or milling about the pit of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, lobbying against other professional traders for the perfect entry into a once-in-a-lifetime trade. But then … they watch the markets lurch in wildly unpredictable ways, lose their shirts in a few live trades, and then freeze in their tracks, wondering if they will ever be able to consistently trade in a manner that can even loosely be defined as “profitable.” To be sure, becoming a full-time, professional trader, working at a proprietary trading firm, or managing the trading activity of a hedge fund may sound like the perfect career, but it’s all too easy for beginner traders to overestimate their trading abilities, underestimate the movements of the markets, and find themselves in a financial hole of epic proportions after a few bad trades. So what does it really take to make a living in the markets? Tim Bourquin, co-founder of Traders Expo and the Forex Trading Expo and founder of TraderInterviews.com, and freelance writer and editor Nick Mango set out to answer that exact question in Traders at Work, a unique collection of over 20 interviews with some of the world’s most successful professional traders, from at-home hobbyists who have opened their own firms to those working at hedge funds, on proprietary trading desks, and in exchange pits. What mistakes did Anne-Marie Baiynd make early in her career? What does Michael Toma wish he had known about trading? What trading strategies work best for Linda Raschke? How does John Carter remain cool, calm, and collected when the markets are sending mixed signals? And how did Todd Gordon make the transition from part-time to full-time trader? Bourquin and Mango ask all of these questions and more in Traders at Work and in doing so reveal insider insights on what it takes to be a successful trader from those who are living that dream. Fascinating, compelling, and filled with never-before-told stories from the front lines of the trading arena, Traders at Work is required reading for anyone who has ever asked themselves if they have what it takes to trade for a living. .

Abstract

What are the roots of the present economic crisis? The book shows that the factors commonly mentioned (e. g. subprime loans, fall in housing prices) have occurred in the past and therefore cannot account for the severity of the present crisis. There must be "something else". The analysis shows that there was a "phase transition" in the United States around 1975 which brought the following changes: - The stagnation of real wages over the past 30 years and a parallel rise in indebtment levels. - The abrupt fall in unionization rates and in the number of strikes. - The development of tax havens which deprived states of tax revenue. - The globalization of financial transactions which hinders long-term investment.

Abstract

Die aktuelle Debatte über stark steigende Grundstückspreise und Mieten findet in dieser Untersuchung ihr historisches Fundament: Das Buch zeigt, wie intensiv in der Bundesrepublik bereits nach 1960 über das gleiche Problem gestritten wurde. Als Schuldige galten profitgierige "Spekulanten", denen unmoralische Geschäftsmethoden vorgeworfen wurden. Anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele - aus Frankfurt am Main, München, Hamburg, Köln und West-Berlin - untersucht Karl Christian Führer sowohl das konkrete Geschehen auf den Märkten für Grundstücke und Wohnraum als auch die zahlreichen Proteste gegen die "Spekulation" mit Immobilien, etwa durch Hausbesetzungen, bis 1985. Er verzichtet dabei auf vorschnelle Urteile und analysiert die Prozesse konsequent im Kontext der bundesdeutschen Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte. Ein zentral wichtiger Aspekt der jüngeren Vergangenheit wird damit auf innovative Weise differenziert dargestellt, denn Grundstücke und Wohnungen sind wohl das Wirtschaftsgut, an dem sich die soziale und kulturelle Dimension ökonomischen Handelns besonders eindringlich nachweisen lässt. Der moralisierende Begriff der "Spekulation" hilft wenig, wenn man Veränderungen auf diesem Markt verstehen will. In West Germany profit-hungry speculators were blamed for rising real estate prices and rental costs. Karl Christian Führer analyzes events in the real estate markets in major cities such as Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and West Berlin and the heated debate about speculation before 1985. He shatters popular notions while offering salient new data for an informed discussion about freedom and regulation in the housing market.

Abstract

"Alors que les innovations financières, les subprimes et l'économie de casino sont brandies par la classe politique comme les seuls éléments caractéristiques à l'origine d'une crise du capitalisme en ce début du XXIe siècle, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur l'existence de changements d'une ampleur aussi importante au cours de périodes plus anciennes. La fin du XIXe siècle se prête particulièrement bien à cet exercice. Au-delà des innovations techniques qui s'y multiplient, ce siècle est caractérisé par des mutations institutionnelles propices à favoriser l'entrée du futur et des promesses de gain dans les rapports entre agents. De fin ultime de l'activité économique, le futur devient alors objet en soi des transactions dont une partie peut alors se détacher des valeurs réelles"--Page 4 of cover.
