Reading Minds and Markets: Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Returns in a Volatile Global Marketplace
This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.
You can do more to protect yourself from market risks and down markets. The secret: Understand the big picture and know when to shift money toward more promising industry groups, sectors, or asset classes. This strategy is called “global macro investing”--and, as Chief Investment Officer for Harris Private Bank, Jack Ablin has used it to deliver results for many of the world’s wealthiest families and individuals.
In Reading Minds and Markets, Ablin distills his techniques into a remarkably simple, commonsense five-step plan that any investor can use. You’ll discover how to anticipate some of the more significant shifts in global markets and move investments toward areas that are more likely to grow. Equally important, you’ll learn how to overcome bad habits that inevitably lead to failure--habits all too often reinforced by the financial media.
In today’s unforgiving markets, you need to make smarter high-level decisions and fewer mistakes: This book will help you do both.
