The Bear Book: Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets

by John Rothchild

Overview

In der außergewöhnlichen Volatilität der Märkte sehen die meisten Analysten ein sich fortsetzender Trend - ein Zeichen für die haarsträubende Instabilität der Finanzmärkte. Am 28 Oktober 1997 fiel der Dow um 500 Prozentpunkte. Investoren weltweit sind auf diese Weise schmerzlich an die Börsenweisheit erinnert worden, daß das was hoch steigt, tief fallen kann. Dies ist eine äußerst beunruhigende Erfahrung für jeden, der noch keine Baisse erlebt habt. John Rothchild jedoch hat keine Angst vor einer ausgewachsenen Börsenbaisse. In seinem Buch "The Bear Book: Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets" sagt er, wie man sich psychologisch und taktisch auf die drohende Katastrophe vorbereitet, seine Vermögenswerte schützt und Verluste minimiert. Ein umfangreicher Leitfaden, der geschickt und kompetent die Informationslücke über den Baissemarkt schließt. Gegenüber der gebundenen Ausgabe sind in dieser Broschurausgabe seitenweise neue Informationen hinzugekommen sowie ein Kapitel mit 15 Tipps zu Verhaltensmaßregeln, was man während einer Baisse tun sollte und was besser nicht. Rothchild versteht es hervorragend, eine gute Geschichte mit solider Investmentanalyse zu verquicken: Eine anregende Lektüre für alle Investoren.

Editorial Reviews

(John Rothchild) made a small fortune from writing books that made finance funny and entertaining."-Miami Herald

"Mr. Rothchild finds some compelling evidence that a bear might be lurking in the woods. (He) addresses the subject with candor."-The Wall Street Journal

"According to Rothchild, there's a dark cloud looming behind virtually every silver lining. And to the extent that it can, his book gives investors useful market history to help them cope when the next storm arrives to put the current bull in its place."-Washington Post Book World

"THE BEAR BOOK would be fascinating just because Rothchild is an entertaining writer who has gathered such a wide variety of historical facts, anecdotes, theories and current opinions to enlighten the reader about market declines."-Chicago Sun-Times

"A timely wake-up call...contains fascinating stories about history's greatest financial busts as well as guidance on how to cope with the next one."-Miami Herald

"An enlightening work that's likely to give investors a bigger scare than a Stephen King novel. Rothchild isn't one of those doom-and-gloom forecasters. He's just hoping to provide some perspective."-San Diego Union-Tribune

John Rothchild, author of THE BEAR BOOK: Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets wrote an editorial published in the September 6, 1998 issue of New York Newsday entitled "Are Investors Setting Free the Bears?

From the Publisher

This book is not about warm, furry animals who inhabit Yellowstone National Park but about "bears" who roam a far different place called Wall Street, along with other animals called "bulls." In simple investing terms, bulls are buyers of stocks and bears are sellers. While everyone (well, almost everyone, according to Rothchild) loves a bull market, not many relish a bear market. Bearish investors have never had an easy time of it historically, and some notables like "Sell 'em" Ben Smith have even been vilified. But the author provides plenty of statistics to show that bear markets are inevitable. What's an investor to do? Rothchild (Learn To Earn, Wiley, 1997) presents a number of options, and while his advice is solid if not terribly original, the haphazard organization and leaden prose may leave the casual investor even more confused than before. To paraphrase the author, if this book were a stock, it would deserve to be shorted. Not recommended. --Library Journal

Rothchild writes crisply and with humor, too...even those investors who don't share his outlook can profit from the reminder that people who get out before market disasters aren't often surrounded by those who share their viewpoint. --Worth
