About this ebook
In this excerpt from his acclaimed book Taming The Lion, highly successful trader, investor and former hedge fund manager, Richard Farleigh, reveals some of the secret investment strategies that he developed to succeed in the markets: "Big ideas can make big money. There is a host of examples. The big falls in inflation, technological innovation, emerging economies, and China's appetite for raw materials are just a few. The big ideas cause big but slow changes in many markets. These are often not expected by economists and analysts who often struggle to see the woods for the trees. Investors should look for these big ideas, and ignore anything which is too obscure. For those small things it is normally too difficult to out-analyse the analysts. For investors in main stream markets, the big idea that they are pursuing is often the state of the economy. It's too hard, say, to make money on the broad stock market when the economy is going into a recession, so at that time bonds are a better bet. A useful way for those investors to keep an eye on the economy is by a simple checklist of the positives and negatives." Praise for Farleigh's acclaimed book, Taming the Lion: "Anyone who was able to retire at the age of 34, move to Monte Carlo and become a private investor must have made some smart investment decisions. Richard Farleigh did just that and he's sharing his secrets in this book." Money Magazine "Taming the Lion is a book about profiting from big themes. From humble beginnings in Australia, Farleigh made a fortune following powerful trends, the most effective and least stressful route to investment success. He knows how to write too." Telegraph "Overall I feel there is so much information in this book, it is probably one I will keep re-reading as I make investment decisions. I especially like the way it has reminded me that there are other asset classes to invest in other than shares and property and yet the same strategies are applicable." Investors Voice
