Description
A follow-up to "The Investor's Quotient", this book is written with three main aims. The first is to attempt to improve the lot of the investor. Believing that investors and traders have been falsely led to assume that computerization and its natural outgrowth, systematization, are the investor's messiahs, the author demonstrates that this is perhaps the most dangerous myth ever to be accepted by the investing public. As the future of free-world economies has become more tenuous and more responsive to political events, investors have found themselves more and more at the mercy of outside forces. Therefore, the second reason for writing the book was to provide investors and speculators with tools for coping with the present state of the investment and speculative worlds. The third reason was to reveal insights and experiences which have changed the author's perceptions since the publication of "The Investor's Quotient".
