Bestselling author Ken Fisher breaks down the myths and cuts through the noise to present a clear, unvarnished view of timeless market realities, and the ways in which a contrarian approach to investing will outsmart the herd. In true Ken Fisher style, the book explains why the crowd often goes astray-and how you can stay on track.Contrarians understand how headlines really affect the market and which noise and fads they should tune out. Beat the Crowd is a primer to the contrarian strategy, teaching readers simple tricks to think differently and get it right more often than not.Discover the limits of forecasting and how far ahead you should lookLearn why political controversy matter less the louder it getsResurrect long-forgotten, timeless tricks and truths in marketsFind out how the contrarian approach makes you right more often than wrongA successful investment strategy requires information, preparation, a little bit of brainpower, and a larger bit of luck. Pursuit of the mythical perfect strategy frequently lands folks in a cacophony of talking heads and twenty-four hour noise, but Beat the Crowd cuts through the mental clutter and collects the pristine pieces of actual value into a tactical approach based on going against the grain. Review “..a characteristically lively read….a good holiday read for any investor who suspects they may be stuck in their ways and in need of new insights” (Money Observer, July 2015) From the Inside Flap Mainstream investors are wrong more often than right. Most folks intuitively know this, and statistics and studies back it up. How can you buck the trend and be right more often than wrong? Many believe doing the opposite of everyone else is the key to avoiding the herd’s faulty investment decisions. Wall Street defines contrarian investing as betting the opposite of the crowd. Problem is, stocks often don’t do the opposite of what most folks expect! Those who bet on the opposite, thinking it makes them a contrarian, behave as crowd-like as the crowd they try to game! If the herd thinks stocks will rise 10%, the anti-herders bet they’ll fall-but markets could also skyrocket or zigzag sideways. In Beat the Crowd, bestselling author Ken Fisher shows you how to look beyond both crowds and find real contrarian opportunities that pay. Being a contrarian simply means thinking independently. Not getting caught up in media hype and endless debate over whether Thing X is good or bad for stocks. Looking for things everyone misses. Thinking differently than the crowd, but not necessarily opposite! Beat the Crowd helps you filter the noise, test rules of thumb, shatter media myths and avoid common pitfalls. If you’re tired of media chatter and getting burned by consensus wisdom, this book is for you. With his signature style, Ken dispels common viewpoints and knocks age-old “rules” on their head. You’ll learn how to separate what’s important from what isn’t, think outside the investing canon, find the “elephant in the room” and out-invest the herd.

Who was Jim Fisk? A biographer called him, A big, burly, blond creature who looked like a butcher, jovial and quick witted, with the manners and gaudy habits of a publican; he was a swindler and a bandit, a destroyer of law and an apostle of fraud; he was a clown in velvet waistcoats and spurious admirals uniforms, a fatuous fat man who never grew up, playing with railroads and steamboats, canary birds and ballerinas; his private life was to many a public dismay, his public conduct to some a private scorn; he was, for a while, the most successful, the most conspicuous, the most significant figure in the sinister business world of New York.

Jeffrey gives over 100 presentations a year and writes a weekly column that reaches more than four million readers and a weekly e-zine with over 500,000 subscribers. In 2008, he was inducted into the National Speaker Associations Speaker Hall of Fame. A new and impactful book on leadership from the perspective of leadersWhat makes a leader relevant? Its not their place of employment, job title, experience, or status in life?its their resilience. The true measure of any leader is his or her ability to react based on past experience and gut feelings, respond in real time to current circumstances, and then to recover quickly and move on with new lessons learned. The Little Book of Leadership combines classic style with the latest innovations to challenges the reader to self-evaluate every facet of their leadership, coaching, and communication abilities in order to better formulate what actions can be taken to improve their natural skills. Ideas and answers are provided for every challenge.Chapters include information about the 12.5 leadership strengths: From insights to legacy and every element in between. Morale, Attitude, Resilience, Opportunity, Guts, Measurement, Coach, Celebration, Next-level, and Lost Secret of LeadershipForeword by Dr. Paul Doc Hersey, creator of Situational LeadershipOther books by Gitomer: The Sales Bible: The Ultimate Sales Resource, Revised Edition, also by Wiley, The Little Red Book of Selling (Bard Press) The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude (Pearson)Whereas other books rely on theory or philosophy, The Little Book of Leadership takes leadership into the real world of business, providing proven methods for becoming a successful leader. Q&A with Author Jeffrey H. Gitomer Author Jeffrey H. Gitomer What inspired you to write The Little Book of Leadership? I grew up in a family of leaders. My father, all of his brothers, all of my aunts and uncles, and all of their parents were business people. All the conversations and stories at our dinner table and family events focused around business and what all these people (men and women) did in their leadership positions. Without realizing it at the time, I had been exposed to solid business leadership lessons way before I ever went to college. I have always owned my own business. I have always been the leader of people and salespeople --not just from the perspective of how to lead, but also by being the example of leadership resilience. How to think about, how to react to, what to do with, how to respond to, and how to recover from whatever happens in business. Resilience is the true mark of any leader and is the common thread throughout this book. My writing inspiration comes from a combination of all these elements, and from my own personal experiences. Who do you see as the audience for this book? The obvious audience for this book is people in leadership positions. Not just owners of companies, but anyone in a C-suite, anyone in a management position, and anyone who is responsible for others. The not so obvious audience is aspiring leaders, people who want to become better than they are right now, and people who want to take on the challenge of leadership who are looking for education before they take on the challenge. It is my hope that the knowledge in this book will serve as a standard for how non-leaders can transform and emerge as new leaders. What is the most important thing you hope leaders learn from reading this book? When I was writing the book, I wanted to make certain that self-awareness was a key element. All leaders have flaws. The challenge is to strengthen, not simply learn. That’s why I’ve called the chapters “strengths,” and that’s why I’ve created self-evaluations along the way. I want leaders to look at the strengths within the book as self-evaluation...

(CNBC European Business, April 2009) From the Publishers Weekly review: Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. Though no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course, Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a companys bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation. Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as Wal-Mart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste take-back legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood.

Tharp is an internationally recognized expert at helping others become the best traders they can be.

He takes the reader by the hand through the steps of self-transformation, from incorporating Tharp Think-ideas drawn from his modeling work with great traders-making changes in yourself so that you can adopt the beliefs and attitudes necessary to win when you stop making mistakes and avoid methods that dont work. Youll change your level of consciousness so that you can avoiding trading out of fear and greed and move toward higher levels such as acceptance or joy.A leading trader offers unique learning strategies for turning yourself into a great traderGoes beyond trading systems to help readers develop more effective trading psychologyTrains the reader to overcome self-sabotage that obstructs trading successPresented through real transformations made by other tradersAdvocating an unconventional approach to evaluating trading systems and beliefs, trading expert Van K. Tharp has produced a powerful manual every trader can use to make the best trades and optimize their success. Review Q & A with author Van K. TharpWhat prompted you to choose the book title, Trading Beyond the Matrix: The Red Pill for Traders and Investors?When I saw the movie The Matrix, I said, I dont know if the writers really understand how true their metaphor is! Thats because there really is a Matrix that masks reality. That Matrix is our beliefs. Sometimes Im totally amazed at the beliefs society and other people try to impose on us. And a long time ago I realized that we need to look at our beliefs in terms of utility. How useful are they? When I adopted that belief, my life changed forever.Anyway, this book is my attempt to convey just that. When you realize that everything is programmed, then you can be like Neo in the movie and reprogram yourself. When you do enough transformation, you might even be able to step outside of the Matrix . . . which is what I call Trading in the Now. So this book really is the red pill for traders and investors.This book is really about transformation, is it not?Exactly. Ive always known that my mission was transformation through a financial metaphor. My whole staff thrives on frequent comments like: You have changed my whole life for the better, thank you. We had a staff meeting several years ago and decided that we should really promote the mission. For example, I occasionally hear people say that if Van Tharp knows so much about trading, then why doesnt he just trade? Well, the presupposition behind that statement is that the be all and end all of life is the money you make from trading. Its not for me. Its what I just explained.One of my staff members suggested that perhaps I should write a book about transformation and I found that very exciting. Ive already written a five-volume course on peak performance trading and I really didnt want to duplicate that in discussing psychology. So at this point none of my books have been what Id call an in-depth psychology book--that is until this one. But transformation gave me a new angle to really talk about the you factor in trading, as one will read in this book. We believe that we take our clients through three levels of transformation--this is whats covered in the book. The first level is the core beliefs that come out of my modeling work with top traders. You have to share a top traders beliefs to become one. Ive never seen anyone else provide all of this material together, so we call it Tharp Think. So, the first section of the book is about how people transformed themselves using Tharp Think p...

-Titulo Original : Limbo Blue-collar Roots, White-collar Dreams-Fabricante : Wiley-Descripcion Original: In Limbo, award-winning journalist Alfred Lubrano identifies and describes an overlooked cultural phenomenon: the internal conflict within individuals raised in blue-collar homes, now living white-collar lives. These people often find that the values of the working class are not sufficient guidance to navigate the white-collar world, where unspoken rules reflect primarily upper-class values. Torn between the world they were raised in and the life they aspire too, they hover between worlds, not quite accepted in either. Himself the son of a Brooklyn bricklayer, Lubrano informs his account with personal experience and interviews with other professionals living in limbo. For millions of Americans, these stories will serve as familiar reminders of the struggles of achieving the American Dream. From the Inside Flap A groundbreaking work of narrative nonfictionLubrano is a great reporter...He has chosen here a great and often overlooked subject, the role of class in modern American society, and has produced a book rich with insight into both his own and all our lives. -MARK BOWDEN, author of Black Hawk DownThis powerful book uncovers a cultural phenomenon-the limbo existence of people raised in blue-collar families, living white-collar lives. Limbo presents a thoughtful look at this phenomenon through the authors personal story, and those of 100 interviewees, all struggling with the duality that exists in their workplaces, their hearts, and their minds. In Limbo, people straddle two social zones . . . The future is never assured when you come from a house of rough hands. There are many profound opinions in this major newspapermans reporting. -JIMMY BRESLIN Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of The Short Sweet Dream of Eduardo GutierrezIf you have any bloodlines at all to the working class, you will recognize-and newly discover- yourself in Alfred Lubranos inspired book. Limbo brings to life the minefield crossover from the blue-collar world to the white-collar one in prose that is at once trout-stream clear and luminous.

Dont pass this gem by. -SYDNEY SCHANBERG Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of The Death and Life of Dith PranAl Lubrano is a great reporter and the kind of writer whose work is infused with both thought and feeling. He has chosen here a great and often overlooked subject, the role of class in modern American society, and has produced a book rich with insight into both his own life and all our lives.
