Chaos theory. It's the cutting-edge theory that Business Week has said will "revitalize the money-management industry - the only really new way of looking at the markets since the mid-1960s! And here's the book that not only explains chaos theory, but also shows you how to use it to forecast the market, pick stocks, and hedge against risk. Based on the author's pioneering research, Profiting From Chaos makes you privy to the most sophisticated and proven strategies for investing wisely in today's increasingly chaotic and volatile markets. Backed by a decade of profitable results, the book explains how to adapt chaos theory to your own individual investment style, how to more accurately time buy and sell decisions for maximum return, and how to hedge an investment portfolio against market risk. Discover what causes market trends, and how to predict major changes in the risk-reward outlook; how the success of such leading money managers and market forecasters as Zweig, O'Neil, and Lynch is tied to chaos theory; how to recognize "Megatrends" (the most profitable markets) and "Manias" (the most dangerous markets); how to make sure that your performance will never again be "just a matter of luck"; and how to profit from the interplay of crowd psychology and economic fundamentals. Profiting From Chaos also explains clearly these key concepts: complexity, "open systems" far from equilibrium, critical states, and state transitions; random walk and the relationship between modern portfolio theory and chaos theory; fractal markets - with a special look at the work of Mandelbrot, Hurst, and Peters; deterministic models, statistical models, control parameters, and a simple nonlinear model of markettrends; and coherent markets, biased random walks, and much more! At a time when sophisticated mathematical theory is driving the investment strategies of Wall Street's most savvy investors and money managers, shouldn't you put these exciting, cutting-edge techniques to work for you? Profiting From Chaos will help ensure that your foray into today's hottest new investing discipline will be a successful one.
