Niveau 2, apprendre la vérité sur la façon dont les marchés fonctionnent: Niveau trois, le sélecteur d'actions: Niveau quatre, le gourou hardcore Type: Si vous êtes plus axé sur le court terme, un cours d'étude sur le commerce pourrait aller dans le sens de: IN MORE DETAIL: Getting Started Le milliardaire à côté 8211 Thomas J. Stanley et William D. Danko Le Millionaire Next Door est l'un de ceux Rares livres d'investissement qui se trouve être à la fois très bon et un best-seller au grand public. Cela est rare parce que les livres d'investissement qui se vendent bien sont généralement get-rich-rapide des ordures. The Millionaire Next Door parle de bon vieux temps des dépenses frugales, du travail acharné et des investissements à long terme. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un livre sur la richesse pour vous donner un coup de pied, c'est un bon début. Pourquoi les gens intelligents font de grosses erreurs d'argent 8211 et comment les corriger 8211 G. Belsky amp T. Gilovich Livre exceptionnel sur la psychologie des investisseurs. Si vous voulez commencer à investir, d'abord vous devrez comprendre que le plus grand obstacle que vous ferez face est vous-même, et pas des auditeurs dodgy, des directeurs d'entreprise avides, ou des manipulateurs de marché. Le livre se penche sur la psyché des investisseurs d'une manière qui vous fera se tortiller avec embarras quand vous réalisez combien cela ressemble à vous. Après avoir lu The Millionaire Next Door et pourquoi les gens intelligents faire de grosses erreurs d'argent, vous serez mis à commencer à lire des livres sur l'investissement réel. Les livres sur la répartition de l'actif, les rendements, l'efficacité du marché (ou son absence), les fonds indiciels et les fonds gérés de manière active Le Bogleheads8217 Guide d'investissement 8211 Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer et John C. Bogle (avant-propos) Il est judicieux pour les investisseurs d'utiliser une stratégie simple, à faible coût indexé avec leurs portefeuilles. Common Sense sur les fonds communs de placement 8211 Jack Bogle Un des meilleurs livres et les plus sensibles jamais écrit sur l'investissement. Le livre recommande aux investisseurs d'utiliser les fonds indiciels autant que possible, de réduire le roulement et les commissions générales, et de prendre une vision à long terme. Armé d'un volume énorme de statistiques pour soutenir ses points, Jack fait valoir que les fonds indiciels sont un choix supérieur, mais si vous préférez acheter un fonds activement géré, vous devriez éviter l'indice conservateur étreindre ceux et aller pour les gestionnaires très actifs avec des portefeuilles inhabituels Et des frais peu élevés. Le répartiteur d'actifs intelligents 8211 William Bernstein C'est un livre très soigné qui va changer votre perspective sur la construction du portefeuille. Il prend la théorie du portefeuille moderne et le démonte à une forme simple et très utile. Il ne se réfère pas au bêta et le modèle d'évaluation des actifs financiers n'est pas utilisé, heureusement, mais montre plutôt une façon très pratique de rassembler des portefeuilles pour minimiser les risques. Il répond à la vieille question 8211 si vous investissez dans des biens, des actions, des obligations, de trésorerie ou de fonds de couverture La réponse est l'ensemble d'entre eux, mais rééquilibrer le portefeuille régulièrement. C'est un livre étonnamment sensible et il n'a aucune des hypothèses stupides ou des mathématiques compliquées qui sont si ennuyeux au sujet de la plupart des livres modernes de théorie de portefeuille. Certainement sur la liste de lecture requise, il présente seulement un défi technique doux parce que l'auteur semble être un de ces types qui croient qu'une once du bon sens vaut plus qu'une tonne de puissance d'ordinateur. Certains se sont plaints que ce livre a trop de maths, mais il est écrit dans un format où les détails mathématiques sont enfermés dans de minuscules boîtes qui peuvent être contournées par le lecteur désintéressé sans nuire à la narration. Les quatre piliers de l'investissement 8211 William Bernstein Quatre piliers est le moins technique des livres de William Bernstein8217s. Il couvre un certain nombre de sujets de la construction de portefeuille à la finance comportementale et est lancé à des investisseurs qui don8217t comme les mathématiques beaucoup. C'est quelque chose comme une version de The Intelligent Asset Allocator que vous pouvez lire sur le bus sur le chemin du travail, tandis que l'Allocation Intelligent Asset est plus technique et la meilleure valeur peut être eu avec un stylo et un ordinateur portable dans une main. La moyenne de la valeur est une forme modifiée de la moyenne des coûts en dollars où vous calculez un chemin de valeur 8220, c.-à-d. Une cible théorique pour votre portefeuille en fonction d'un rendement hypothétique à long terme, et comparez votre Value de portefeuille à la valeur projetée pour voir combien vous devez investir (ou retirer du portefeuille). Contrairement à la moyenne des coûts en dollars, la valeur moyenne vous fait investir plus d'argent lorsque les marchés sont en baisse et moins d'argent quand ils sont en hausse. Selon Edleson, cela a entraîné des rendements à long terme plus élevés que la moyenne des coûts en dollars ordinaires. Une Random Walk Down Wall Street 8211 Burton G. Malkiel Un portail de 500 pages, mais difficile à mettre car il est si amusant. Malkiel tue une variété de vaches sacrées de Wall Street des modèles topping de tête-et-épaule jusqu'au modèle sanctifié de détermination de capital de capitaux. Il donne des comptes épouvantables des manies de la Bulle des mers du Sud au boom de la biotechnologie et comment même les gestionnaires de fonds et les courtiers bien connus semblent toujours le trouver aussi erroné que les parieurs les plus incorrigibles. Il est généralement critique de presque tous les savoirs de Wall Street, systématiquement bashing pratiquement tout et tout le monde, donc pas étonnant que c'est un livre amusant. Donner même une analyse fondamentale d'un battement (bien que O8217Shaughnessy a quelques mots à dire à ce sujet dans ce qui fonctionne sur Wall Street), il ne sortir sur le côté de la bande de yeux bandés-babouin-dards-à-la - Of-the-paper pour la sélection des titres et semble considérer le succès de Buffett8217s avec un certain scepticisme, mais c'est un livre à lire absolument de toute façon. Ses critiques à l'égard de l'analyse fondamentale ne portent que sur les valeurs de croissance, en soulignant la faiblesse des prévisions de bénéfices, surtout lorsqu'elles sont optimistes dans l'avenir. Il est moins critique de l'investissement de valeur, puisque bien qu'il dépense la majeure partie du livre préconisant des choix de titres au hasard, il change soudainement son air à la fin avec une approbation modérée de l'investissement de valeur. D'autre part, il donne à l'analyse technique sous toutes ses formes une cachette. Vous obtiendrez beaucoup de ce livre, même si c'est juste pour vous mettre hors growthmomentum ou d'investissement technique. Le rôle caché du hasard dans les marchés et dans la vie 8211 Nassim Taleb Il s'agit d'un livre très intéressant qui explore le hasard et en particulier discute comment les commerçants souvent tromper la chance muette pour la compétence. Il est un peu pompeux, mais parfois amusant. Il a quelques idées intéressantes sur le risque et le retour, et ses opinions sur le commerce d'options sont un peu différents de la plupart. Chasse à la négociation mondiale. The Investor8217s Guide des profits dans les marchés émergents 8211 Burton Malkiel, J. P. Mei De l'auteur de Random Walk Down Wall Street. Ce livre parle des opportunités offertes par les marchés émergents. En mettant l'accent à la fois sur les risques et les retours, avec autant de données de sauvegarde et de recherche que vous pouvez vous attendre d'un livre Malkiel, cela établit un cas convaincant pour envisager d'allouer une partie de votre portefeuille dans des investissements dans le Pacifique, Europe de l'Est, Et l'Afrique. Il documente le changement fondamental dans le monde au cours des 20 dernières années, la guerre froide s'est terminée et la démocratie fleurit, la mondialisation ouvre de nouvelles opportunités au socialisme se fanant. En conséquence, la croissance économique dans de nombreuses économies est nettement plus élevée que dans les marchés plus développés. Dans le même temps, ils soutiennent que les valorisations tendent à être beaucoup plus faibles et, par conséquent, les rendements des actions dans les marchés émergents peuvent être beaucoup plus élevés. Le livre discute non seulement des profits élevés, mais aussi des risques, y compris l'anarchie, la nationalisation, les bulles et les bustes et les créances irrécouvrables. Il entre aussi dans un certain détail parler de l'investissement actif vs passif, la synchronisation du marché, l'achat de fonds fermés à des rabais au soutien de l'actif net ou de vendre à une prime et un peu d'informations sur la valeur investir. Le succès non conventionnel: une approche fondamentale de l'investissement personnel 8211 David Swensen David Swensen est directeur des investissements à l'Université de Yale depuis 1985. Il est responsable de la gestion et de l'investissement des fonds de dotation et des fonds de placement de University8217 qui totalisent environ 22 milliards, Un rendement annuel de 17,8 pour cent sur ses investissements au cours des dix dernières années. He8217s scathing de Wall Street et les conflits d'intérêt qu'il souffre. Son livre se concentre sur les classes d'actifs alternatifs, et discute de leur côté bon et (surtout) mauvais, en concluant que la plupart des gens sont mieux avec un portefeuille de base de fonds indiciels des principales classes d'actifs. Il passe aussi beaucoup de temps à parler de rééquilibrage des portefeuilles et explique pourquoi cette étape constitue l'une des composantes les plus importantes de la répartition de l'actif et de la gestion de portefeuille. Histoire du marché Contre les dieux: l'histoire remarquable du risque 8211 Peter Bernstein Il s'agit d'une fascinante exploration historique du développement des mathématiques de l'économie et de la gestion des risques, en discutant les origines de la statistique et de la théorie des probabilités, la théorie des jeux, la régression au moyen et moderne économie. Il ne vous apprendra pas comment évaluer une entreprise ou reconnaître un stock 8220oversold8221, mais si vous le lisez de couverture à couverture vous deviendrez un investisseur plus sophistiqué avec une compréhension plus profonde de la façon dont les marchés et la fonction de risque. Les mathématiques discutées sont sophistiquées, mais le livre n'aborde pas ces concepts en profondeur, c'est plutôt un récit sur la façon dont nous sommes arrivés aux théories modernes et donc vous pouvez le lire sans avoir besoin d'un fond en économie ou en mathématiques (au lieu de ce livre Est censé vous donner ce fond). William Bernstein, auteur de The Intelligent Asset Allocator et The Four Pillars of Investing s'est tourné vers le sujet de la raison pour laquelle certains pays sont riches mais d'autres pauvres , Et pourquoi, pour la plupart de l'histoire du monde, la croissance économique a été presque négligeable, mais pourtant, il ya environ 200 ans, elle a soudainement repris le rythme énormément. Il a proposé un modèle à 4 facteurs expliquant que la protection des droits de propriété (de sorte que les gens ont une incitation à s'occuper et à améliorer leurs biens, construire des entreprises et faire de l'argent), le rationalisme scientifique (les scientifiques, les ingénieurs et les inventeurs ne sont pas persécutés) Un bon réseau de transport et de communication (de sorte que les marchandises peuvent être efficacement transportées et les idées partagées) et de bons marchés financiers (de sorte que le capital peut être levé pour commercialiser des inventions, comme la construction d'un réseau électrique à partir de zéro pour Thomas Edison8217s société pourrait vendre sa nouvelle invention merveilleuse, Bulbe) sont tous essentiels. Avec une longue vision de l'histoire remontant à l'Antiquité, il applique son modèle à quatre facteurs pour expliquer les chemins très différents empruntés par le monde occidental et d'autres nations, pourquoi certains pays ont tout (y compris les ressources naturelles) Apparemment rien ne peut s'enrichir par le commerce. The CrowdExtraordinary Populaire Delusions 8211 Gustave le Bon et Charles Mackay Un double volume classique, écrit à l'origine plus d'un siècle. Ce n'est pas un investissement comment-à livre en tant que tel, mais est l'un des livres classiques sur les manies et les booms. De la Bulle des mers du Sud à l'équivalent français, Tulipomanie hollandaise et plus récents bustes. Il parle de la façon dont la psychologie des foules travaille sur les prix et nourrit une convoitise extraordinaire pour des gains toujours plus élevés, forçant les prix à des niveaux bien supérieurs à ceux qui pourraient être soutenus. Les éditions originales sont apparues au 19ème siècle, mais des mises à jour ont été faites dans les éditions récentes. Une partie de la raison pour laquelle ce livre se vend toujours après tout ce temps est que les auteurs juste obtenu il droite. Si la langue était un peu plus moderne, vous pensez qu'il a été écrit tout récemment avec des leçons supposément appris à la dure du boom et du buste. Global Investing: The Professional8217 Guide des marchés mondiaux de la capitale 8211 R. Ibbotson, G. Brinson Il s'agit d'un livre destiné aux utilisateurs de données. Si vous cherchez le livre définitif sur les rendements du marché, couvrant de nombreux pays remontant à de nombreuses années, avec des données sur les impôts, les rendements, les risques, les corrélations, etc, alors c'est pour vous. Livres sur la sélection des actions Sensible Partager Investir 8211 Austin Donnelly Informations de base sur la bourse. Facile à lire mais assez détaillé pour ne pas offenser les lecteurs avancés. Lisez ceci AVANT d'ouvrir un compte de courtage. L'investisseur intelligent 8211 un livre de conseils pratiques 8211 Benjamin Graham. Un livre avancé, certainement pas le genre de chose que vous plonger dans tout de suite, mais à juste titre appelé 8220 le meilleur livre d'investissement jamais écrit8221. Il est tellement vrai que le matériel est difficile, au contraire ses approches sont assez intuitives si vous analysez la valeur, mais il est sec et jolie pressentiment, le genre de livre que vous pourriez avoir à vous forcer à continuer à lire. Chaque couple de pages il fait une déclaration qui est si profonde et citent digne que vous voudrez prendre des notes. Warren Buffett a appris l'investissement de cet homme, et dans les éditions plus tard un appendice et l'introduction par Buffett font la lecture intéressante. Analyse de la sécurité 8211 Benjamin Graham et David Dodd Graham8217s autre livre, une autre étape importante dans l'écriture d'investissement. Celui-ci se penche plus vers être un manuel que d'un livre. L'investisseur intelligent devrait être lu de couverture à couvrir, mais celui-ci vous rappellera vos vieux manuels d'économie de l'école. Il ya aussi une nouvelle version appelée Graham et Dodd8217s Security Analysis par Sidney Cottle, Roger Murray et Frank Block. Il est censé être juste une nouvelle édition mais est en fait une réécriture radicale. Si vous vous sentez à la hauteur, vous pouvez lire les deux, ce sont des livres semblables, mais ils ne sont pas tout à fait le même livre. Comme la Bible, peu de gens tentent de lire l'analyse de la sécurité de couverture à couverture, comme même les analystes financiers professionnels préfèrent prendre ce livre à petites doses. Il s'agit d'un ouvrage technique lourd sur la façon d'évaluer les actions et les obligations, mais si vous prenez le temps nécessaire pour passer à travers, vous serez aussi qualifiés un analyste des valeurs mobilières que vous trouverez n'importe où. Si vous avez aimé l'analyse des valeurs mobilières, vous aimerez sans doute aussi l'interprétation des états financiers. Qui est similaire. Le principe zoulou et au-delà du principe Zulu 8211 Jim Slater Deux excellents et approfondie livre sur l'analyse fondamentale et comment les petits investisseurs peuvent faire très bien investir dans les petites entreprises en croissance. Au-delà - est le nouveau livre, et est essentiellement une réécriture de la première. Vous profiterez des deux livres parce qu'ils ne se chevauchent pas complètement, mais le plus récent est le meilleur livre si vous voulez seulement en acheter un. Il ya des chapitres dans le premier livre qui ont été répétés dans la seconde, peut-être que vous devriez acheter Beyond - et chercher l'autre dans la bibliothèque. Un autre livre du même auteur, Investment Made Easy est plus d'une première de beginner8217s, couvrant une variété de sujets d'investissement, mais pas dans de tels détails. Les livres zoulous ne sont qu'un défi intermédiaire et ne seront pas trop difficiles pour quiconque sait ce qu'est un ratio prix-bénéfice. Peter Lynch Peter Lynch dirige le Fidelity Magellan Fund pendant de nombreuses années, et bien que maintenant retraité sera rappelé comme l'un des grands. Quelques très bons conseils d'investissement en actions générales sur un certain nombre de différents types de stocks et les stratégies qui travaillent avec eux. Son approche de l'investissement est étonnamment simple, et fondamentalement tourne autour de l'idée que si vous aimez le produit, vous aimerez probablement le stock, il est donc préférable d'acheter des actions dans une entreprise que vous savez se porte bien plutôt que de prendre un dépliant sur certains biotech Startup8221. Lui-même était un gestionnaire de fonds, mais il n'a généralement pas des choses très complémentaires à dire sur les compétences d'analyse de la plupart de ses collègues, en fait, il invite les investisseurs à penser comme un 8220amateur8221. Comment choisir des stocks comme Warren Buffett 8211 Timothy Vick Le Buffett essentiel 8211 R. Hagstrom Il existe d'innombrables grands livres sur Warren Buffett et ses méthodes, mais ces deux sont probablement le meilleur de la grappe. Vous pouvez vous appeler un investisseur jusqu'à ce que vous pouvez écrire une off-the-cuff deux pages essai sur Warren Buffett et ses méthodes Stocks communs et les bénéfices peu fréquentés 8211 Philip A. Fisher Vous pouvez vous épargner beaucoup de lecture sur Warren Buffett simplement en passant par Ce volume. Les autres écrits 8221 auxquels on fait allusion dans le titre sont plusieurs ouvrages courts qui sont regroupés dans la même enveloppe avec les actions ordinaires et les bénéfices peu communs. Ces autres travaux sont le 8220Conservative Investors Sleep Well8221, qui traite du sujet de la façon d'identifier une entreprise sûre avec des avantages concurrentiels puissants, par opposition à une entreprise spéculative, et qui va à la longue dans des choses comme étant un contrarian , En mettant l'accent sur les entreprises plutôt que sur les marchés boursiers, le calendrier du marché (et pourquoi vous ne devriez pas le faire) et un argument contre l'hypothèse des marchés efficaces. Tout de Buffett8217s parler de 8220margin de safety8221 et 8220value8221 vient de Graham, mais Fisher est celui qui promeut l'idée de la franchise super entreprise, la doctrine buy and hold forever pour les entreprises de qualité et tous ces trucs sur les avantages concurrentiels. Si vous étudiez votre Ben Graham et Phil Fisher vous avez pratiquement toute la fondation sur laquelle Buffett s'est appuyé, en fait, après une bonne lecture de Fisher, je suis arrivé à la conclusion que la plupart des livres sur Buffett sont simplement des arnaques de Fisher avec un peu de valeur investir jeté Un autre livre dans le genre 8220Money Masters8221, il s'agit d'un excellent livre qui passe en revue un large éventail d'approches réussies à l'investissement et les investisseurs qui les utilisent avec un peu de discussion au sujet de la Avantages et inconvénients de chaque méthode. C'est certainement l'un des livres que vous devriez lire si vous essayez encore de trouver votre 8220niche8221 comme un investisseur, car il vous donnera l'exposition à certaines des possibilités qui sont là-bas. Ce qui fonctionne sur Wall Street 8282 James P. O8217Shaughnessy O8217Shaughnessy a été le premier outsider à avoir accès à la base de données Standard and Poors Compustat, la ressource ultime pour les chercheurs d'investissement contenant une quantité écrasante de prix et de données fondamentales pour plusieurs milliers de titres pendant de nombreuses décennies . À l'aide de simulations informatiques, il a testé une variété de stratégies de négociation et d'investissement et fait des découvertes intéressantes sur les stratégies qui fonctionnent le mieux. Ce livre contient les résultats de ses découvertes et bien que beaucoup de gens ont critiqué le livre comme juste un autre exercice dans l'exploration de données mindless, fonds mutuels basés sur ses stratégies ont émergé, et bien qu'ils ont sous-performé au début, they8217ve fait très bien depuis le commencement. Contrarian Investment Strategies: La nouvelle génération 8211 David Dreman Un croisement entre ce qui fonctionne à Wall Street et Random Walk Down Wall Street. Il attaque la sagesse conventionnelle comme Malkiel le fait et donne des arguments détaillés pour montrer les analystes de Wall Street dans une lumière assez ridicule, mais gère également un fonds d'actions et montre une variété de stratégies qui ont travaillé dans le passé. Son backtesting, basé sur Compustat juste comme O8217Shaughnessey arrive à des conclusions semblables mais ne révèle rien que vous didn8217t savent après avoir lu le livre de O8217Shaughnessey8217s. Il prétend que Malkiel fait qu'un singe aux yeux bandés, lubrifié avec des boissons alcoolisées suffisantes pourrait choisir des stocks ainsi que n'importe quel analyste, mais prend une approche intéressante en ce qu'il considère réellement cela comme un phénomène exploitable pour faire de l'argent Dreman8217s systèmes, qui sont fondamentalement justes Les techniques d'investissement de valeur travaillent sur l'idée que les analystes sont beaucoup trop haussier sur les stocks de croissance et trop pessimiste sur 8220dogs8221, donc vous pouvez faire très bien en achetant des stocks que les analystes sont extrêmement baissiers et ont vendu au point qu'ils négocient à très bon marché . Lorsque les bénéfices récupérer, comme ils le font habituellement, le stock va 8220surprise8221 Wall Street et rallye bien. Dreman8217s propre record d'investissement est excellent, ce qui indique qu'il peut être sur quelque chose. Il conseille aux gens d'acheter des stocks très survendus, à condition que la société est encore en une seule pièce et ne sont pas susceptibles de mourir complètement, donc contrairement à Malkiel et O8217Shaughnessey il ne valeur facteurs qualitatifs comme la gestion et les perspectives d'affaires. John Neff sur l'investissement 8211 John Neff Ce gars est considéré comme l'un des plus grands gestionnaires de fonds de tous les temps, là-haut avec Buffett, Templeton et Lynch. Son fonds de Windsor a battu le marché dans la plupart des 30 années de son mandat et son score final était plus de 3 supérieur au marché. Ce livre comporte trois sections. Le premier est autobiographique, parlant de la vie tôt de Neff8217s et comment il est venu fonctionner un fonds. La deuxième section, que je résume plus ou moins dans la 8220Great Investors8221 FAQ (8220Neff8217s Methods8221), traite de l'approche de valeur de Neff8217s et de la stratégie de construction de portefeuille 8220Measured Participation8221. La troisième section est un compte rendu historique de ce que c'était que d'exécuter Windsor. Global Investing the Templeton Way 8211 Norman Berryessa et Eric Kirzner Ce livre est basé sur une série d'entrevues avec Sir John Marks Templeton. Les deux auteurs, un écrivain financier et un universitaire de finance a écrit ce livre avec une profonde révérence pour l'hypothèse des marchés efficaces et la théorie du portefeuille moderne, et, par conséquent, de nombreuses pages sont consacrées à exalter les vertus de ces techniques. Il est cependant intéressant de constater que dans leurs entretiens avec Templeton, ils continuent à présenter des idées MPT et Templeton les rejette. À plusieurs reprises, Templeton dit qu'il n'a pas beaucoup d'utilité pour MPT, le classant au côté de l'analyse technique comme quelque chose qu'ils regardent de temps en temps, mais autrement ont trouvé peu d'utilisation pour. Ce livre, qui contient beaucoup de conseils sage concernant l'investissement de valeur par Templeton s'adresserait principalement aux investisseurs qui souhaitent en savoir plus sur l'investissement mondial, car il consacre beaucoup d'espace aux particularités d'avoir à investir à travers les frontières et de vivre avec les restrictions d'investissement étranger, Systèmes et les défis liés à la recherche de bonnes informations financières dans des marchés étrangers mal réglementés et informés. Livres sur le commerce spéculatif Comment faire de l'argent dans les stocks 8211 William J. O8217Neil. Un livre hautement considéré sur le commerce de stock de croissance, l'approche CANSLIM expliqué. Ce livre sera plus adapté à moyen terme tradersinvestors qui aiment combiner l'analyse technique avec l'analyse fondamentale. Il préconise des techniques de stop-loss telles que 8220e vend toujours un stock s'il tombe 108221 et a chapitre après chapitre consacré à la cartographie. Ses méthodes sont typiques de l'approche à haut taux de roulement utilisée par les courtiers en valeurs mobilières, et il est plus préoccupé par essayer de trouver la prochaine grande chose et faire 100 fois votre argent que l'accumulation à long terme stable des bénéfices. Si vous aimez Warren Buffett you8217ll probablement hate William O8217Neil. Trading pour une vie 8211 Dr. Alexander Elder C'est l'un des meilleurs livres de négociation, Elder est un psychiatre formé et commerçant professionnel à terme. Le livre souligne que la réponse à la réussite commerciale n'est pas de trouver un achat technique ou de vendre le signal en tant que tel, mais en reconnaissant vos propres pièges psychologiques et maîtriser la gestion de l'argent. Il donne un logiciel de boîte noire une bataille, et compare Gann, Elliott Wave, divers autres gourous et des systèmes avec l'astrologie. Analyse technique expliquée 8211 Martin Pring Analyse technique des marchés financiers 8211 John J Murphy Analyse technique des tendances boursières 8211 Robert Edwards The Complete Day Trader: systèmes de négociation, stratégies, indicateurs de calendrier et méthodes analytiques 8211 Jake Bernstein Un guide complet sur les marchés à terme 8211 Jack D. Schwager Certains des livres les plus intéressants sur le commerce avec l'analyse technique. Futures: Analyse fondamentale 8211 Jack D. Schwager Un livre vraiment sec sur l'analyse fondamentale du marché à terme. Une sorte d'analyse des valeurs mobilières sauf celle-ci parle de matières premières. Les magiciens du marché et les magiciens du nouveau marché 8211 Jack D. Schwage Ces livres proviennent de la transcription d'une série d'entrevues avec certains des principaux marchands du world8217s. Ces gars aren8217t amateurs faire un peu de commerce de la maison, mais surtout les gars qui gèrent d'énormes comptes commerciaux pour les clients institutionnels. Ils ne vous diront pas beaucoup sur les techniques réelles utilisées en raison du secret commercial, mais si rien d'autre ils vont bang en vous l'importance de la gestion de l'argent, la discipline, l'intelligence et une énorme quantité de travail acharné. Briser l'illusion 8220easy money8221 que les gens obtiennent au sujet de la négociation, ces livres soit vous mettre hors de négociation pour de bon ou vous invite à évaluer votre propre professionnalisme dans le commerce. Comment je échange pour une vie 8211 Gary Smith Smith est l'un de ces très rares écrivains livre de négociation qui est en mesure de sauvegarder ce qu'il dit avec authentiques, authentiques déclarations commerciales signées par son courtier qui montrent qu'il est en fait un commerçant très rentable. Il parle de la façon dont il se négocie pour gagner sa vie, en utilisant la divergence, l'élan et les études du sentiment contraire. Il semble être sur une sorte de croisade contre les fournisseurs de systèmes de négociation, et il conteste ouvertement les fournisseurs qui annoncent leurs systèmes sur Internet et par le biais de magazines de négociation à effectivement mis en avant quelques déclarations commerciales pour montrer la rentabilité. Il est sceptique quant aux indicateurs mathématiques fermes et conseille contre les opérations de levier (comme les futures et les options) et les ventes à découvert. Il négocie principalement des fonds d'actions, et prend presque toujours des positions longues. Si vous voulez commencer à négocier, vous pourriez certainement faire beaucoup plus mal que de lire ce livre d'abord, il donne un aperçu assez bien sur le genre de mode de vie et la quantité de travail que vous avez à faire afin de devenir un commerçant professionnel. Sa méthode est plus orientée vers le mode continu, fiable, spectaculaire profits de la négociation, par opposition à la méthode de test de crash test (aller pour briser essayant de tripler votre argent toutes les deux semaines). Reminiscences d'un opérateur boursier 8211 Edwin Lefvre Ce livre est la biographie déguisée de Jesse Livermore, l'un des plus grands traders de tous les temps. Bien qu'il ait fini par se tuer lui-même après sa dixième faillite, son livre est toujours considéré comme un classique du trader. Ce livre est probablement le 8220The Intelligent Investor8221 de livres de négociation. Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom 8211 Van Tharp Les mathématiques de la gestion de l'argent: techniques d'analyse de risque pour les commerçants 8211 Ralph Vince Gestion de portefeuille Formules: les méthodes de négociation mathématiques pour les futures, les options et les marchés boursiers 8211 Ralph Vince The Irwin Guide to Trading Systems 8211 Bruce Babcock , Jr. Stratégies de gestion de l'argent pour les négociants à terme 8211 Nauzer J. Balsara Le guide définitif pour les contrats à terme 8211 Larry Williams Pour le commerçant sérieux qui veulent une meilleure compréhension du genre de techniques de gestion de l'argent mentionné dans le trading FAQ, . Ils peuvent parfois mentionner l'analyse technique, mais ils sont beaucoup plus avancés que cela, va bien au-delà d'être simplement un autre livre sur le dessin des lignes de tendance et de regarder le soutien et les niveaux de résistance. Ce sont des textes difficiles, avancés, qui emploient beaucoup de mathématiques, mais loin d'être des trucs académiques de tour d'ivoire, ils sont écrits par des commerçants professionnels à terme (sauf Tharp, qui, autant que je sache, est un psychologue). Vous pouvez gratter pendant des années et ne jamais voir la nécessité de faire beaucoup plus que la cartographie standard, mais si vous voulez prendre votre trading au niveau suivant et obtenir vraiment sérieux ces livres valent bien la recherche. Si vous négociez des actions sans effet de levier, vous pourriez être en mesure de s'en tirer en ignorant ce domaine, mais si vous avez l'intention d'utiliser la marge, le commerce à terme ou d'options, alors vous aviez vraiment mieux se familiariser avec ce matériel aussi rapidement que possible. Quand le génie a échoué: la montée et la chute de la gestion du capital à long terme 8211 Roger Lowenstein L'histoire de la montée et de la chute de l'un des fonds de couverture les plus célèbres de l'histoire. Eclipse asiatique 8211 Michael Backman Considérant l'achat de stocks asiatiques Ce livre traite de la corruption et des scandales financiers en Asie.

Découvrez ce qui se passe lorsque les spéculateurs immobiliers incompétents sont autorisés à acheter leurs propres banques et les juges gagnent des salaires si bas que seulement en acceptant de l'argent de l'accusé peuvent-ils payer leurs factures.
