Fred Schwed's Where are the Customer's Yachts? - A modern-day interpretation of an investment classic

Leo Gough

Beschreibung

According to an old joke, a visitor to New York who was admiring the yachts of the bankers and brokers naively asked where all the customers’ yachts were. Of course, none of the customers could afford yachts, even though they dutifully followed the advice of their bankers and brokers. The customers had not got rich from the stock market.
Although Fred Schwed had a deep understanding of and few illusions about the world of investment Where are the Customers’ Yachts? is very far from cynical. Schwed’s insight into the psychology of investment professionals and their customers is as relevant today as it was in 1940. He did not say that investment is pointless, or that private investors never make any money. Rather, he cast doubt on the ability of the financial services industry to provide
any really valuable advice to its customers.
Leo Gough’s interpretation of Where are the Customers’ Yachts? brings Schwed’s insights to life with modern examples. Readers will discover:
• How to spend their income, not their capital;
• That just because someone works in the stock market doesn’t mean they are a good investor;
• Why exceptions are the rule;
• How to ride the winner and avoid the collapses;
• The secret of the ‘fat, stupid peasant’ approach.
Gough explains why investment is ultimately about psychology rather than numbers. This lucid, concise and jargon-free book shows you how you can adopt Schwed’s original techniques and become a real investment ace. This interpretation of Fred Schwed’s Where are the Customers’ Yachts? illustrates the timeless nature of Schwed’s insights by placing them in a twenty-first century context and is an inspiring reworking of one of the most influential investment books ever written.

Winning Across Global Markets -...

Dan Steinbock

Winning Across Global Markets examines how 145-year old  Nokia grew from a small paper mill in Finland to a multinational  telecommunications leader. Why are Nokia's globalization lessons so  critical across industries and worldwide?   While most large  multinational companies enjoy inherent  advantages in which their home base/country/flagship location  often accounts for 30 - 50% of their revenues, small-  multinationals like Nokia who have a home base market  that generates less than 1% of its revenues are  the exception in the global business world. To such a company,  global advantage  based on local success  is a matter  of life and death. To established industry leaders in the U.S.,  Europe and Japan, Winning Across Global Markets provides a  roadmap for how to develop, capture and sustain competitive  advantage. To ambitious challengers in emerging economies, it  offers a guideline on how to topple the giants.   Based on Steinbocks exclusive access to and interviews  with all chief/senior executives of Nokia  from the CEO and  chairman to the technology and design chiefs, as well as the  regional directors, Winning Across Global  Markets reveals the remarkable story of Nokias  resilience and endurance in todays ever-changing world.

Stand Up to Stigma - How We...

Pernessa C. Seele

“Seele’s tireless efforts to remove disparities in health care—and wherever we need more understanding and acceptance—is nothing short of inspirational.” —John Hope Bryant, Chairman, Operation HOPE 
 
“Stigma” is a simple two-syllable word, yet it carries the weight of negative and often unfair beliefs that we hold about those who are different from us. Stigmas lock people into stereotyped boxes and deny us all the right to be our authentic and whole selves. Public health activist Dr. Pernessa Seele, one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Persons in the World in 2006, has crafted a proven method to address stigma. This powerful book confronts stereotype development, shows how to undo the processes and effects of stigma, and explains how we can radically change cultural thinking on the individual, interpersonal, and societal levels to put an end to stigmatization once and for all. 
 
“Pernessa’s book can make a difference in your life. In a powerful way, it gets to the heart of a complex issue. Many people stigmatize others without realizing it, and Seele helps readers understand what they can do to change their attitudes and actions.” —Jeff Pegues, Justice and Homeland Security Correspondent, CBS News 
 
“In sharing cogent reflections based upon her pioneering experiences as a courageous health advocate, Pernessa Seele squarely identifies the societal toll taken by stigma and stereotyping—and delineates the steps we can take to reaffirm the dignity we each innately possess by virtue of our humanity.” —Natalia Kanem, MD, Acting Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund
