Book Synopsis Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth by : Teodor Dyakov
Download or read book Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth written by Teodor Dyakov and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the trading performance of actively-managed mutual funds from 16 domicile countries investing in 42 equity markets over the period 2001-2014. In the aggregate, funds achieve particularly poor returns in U.S. equity: after adjusting for style, the stocks they buy underperform those they sell by 0.61% per quarter. In non-U.S. equity, mutual fund trades achieve a gross quarterly return of only 0.19%, which appears small relative to trading costs in international markets. The relative size of the active mutual fund industry and the tendency of mutual funds to trade in herds contribute to their poor trading performance. Using the U.S. market as an important case with a longer time series and richer information, we find further supporting evidence.

Book Synopsis How Money Became Dangerous by : Christopher Varelas
Download or read book How Money Became Dangerous written by Christopher Varelas and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a veteran of the trade, a provocative and entertaining voyage into the turbulent heart of modern money that sheds new light on the rise of our threatening and complicated financial system, how money became our adversary, and why finding a new course is crucial to a healthy society In the not too distant past, money was simple. You might have had a bank account and a mortgage, perhaps some basic investments. Wall Street didn’t have a reputation for greed and recklessness. That all started to change in the eighties, as our financial systems became increasingly complex, moving beyond the understanding of the general public while impacting our lives in innumerable ways. The financial world began to feel like an enigma—a rogue force working against us, seemingly controlled by no one. From an industry veteran who’s had firsthand involvement in the events that shaped modern money, How Money Became Dangerous journeys from the crime-ridden LA jewelry district to the cutthroat Salomon Brothers trading floor, from the high-stakes world of investment banking to the center of the technology boom, capturing the key deals, developments, and players that made the financial world what it is today. The book illuminates the dark, hidden forces of Wall Street and how it has dehumanized and left behind everyday Americans. A fresh and enlightening take on how we reached this point, How Money Became Dangerous also makes the case for why Wall Street needs to be saved, if only to save ourselves.
Book Synopsis Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth by : Brad M. Barber
Download or read book Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth written by Brad M. Barber and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual investors who hold common stocks directly pay a tremendous performance penalty for active trading. Of 66,465 households with accounts at a large discount broker during 1991 to 1996, those that traded most earned an annual return of 11.4 percent, while the market returned 17.9 percent. The average household earned an annual return of 16.4 percent, tilted its common stock investment toward high-beta, small, value stocks, and turned over 75 percent of its portfolio annually. Overconfidence can explain high trading levels and the resulting poor performance of individual investors. Our central message is that trading is hazardous to your wealth.

Book Synopsis When Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth by : Milena Schwarz
Download or read book When Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth written by Milena Schwarz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the motivations for stock selling in a context where this was (at least from anex-post perspective) hazardous to investors' wealth. Making use of a unique feature of theCognitive Economics Study (CogEcon) that allows us to elicit domain-specific stock literacy andcorresponding confidence, we find that independent of their actual knowledge, investors weremore inclined to sell stocks during the financial crisis with high levels of confidence. This wasthe case even when trading was apparently not motivated by liquidity demands, risk-bearingcapacities or expectations about future asset market developments. Even more importantly,and in line with the literature that relates the discrepancy between financial knowledge andconfidence to making investment mistakes, we find that overconfidence was associated with ahigher propensity to realize stock losses - that is, selling assets whose value had deteriorated.Male as well as female investors in our sample were overconfident on average shortly beforethe outbreak of the crisis. Strikingly, however, only female investors traded to their detrimentas a result of their overconfidence. We do not find, in contrast, male investors to be at areal disadvantage of high levels of confidence not warranted by actual knowledge. We takea number of steps in response to endogeneity concerns including an alternative identificationmethod recently introduced by Lewbel (2012) that exploits information from the heteroscedasticstructure of the data. Further research is needed to understand the long-term consequences ofour findings concerning stock-market participation and finally wealth levels of females, who arealready at a high risk of hitting poverty at old-age.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of Money by : Morgan Housel
Download or read book The Psychology of Money written by Morgan Housel and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Download or read book Warning written by Richard J. Fairchild and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we conduct a quantitative, qualitative and neuro-economic experiment investigating the effects of risk-preferences and emotions on investors' trading strategies and performance. The focus of our experiment is a computerised simulated trading game, where investors decide, on a tick-by-tick basis, how much of their wealth to allocate to risk-free cash and/or risky shares (in each period, they can buy or sell shares, or hold their position). Overall, the trading game represents a bear market. Our results demonstrate that risk-aversion and emotions may be detrimental to trading performance in a bear market, and that an optimal level of each may exist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem.

Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
