编辑推荐:Bloomberg News Editor Larry Light looks at Wall Street's imperfect solutions to market woes and how investors can protect their assets in this compelling financial narrative.

内容简介:

The ideas that form the foundation of modern investing were forged in the wake of the Great Depression by pioneers who tried to figure out how to build wealth that would last. Now may be a dark hour of recession and depleted asset values, but we still are a nation of investors in need of reconstituting our decimated portfolios. The pioneers who thought up our modern investing systems, from value to indexing to hedging, all pointed to the Depression as an object lesson, a cautionary tale. Beginning with the Crash of 2008, theres a new such tale. Taming the Beast has a core insight for smart investors: Wall Street has created many systems to tame the wild beast that is the market, but no one system can do it. The key point is that successful investors must always be involved with their investments, always keep up with events, always be flexible and nimble. And they must be exquisitely aware of both the promises and limitations that Wall Streets many investing systems possess. To help you do that, author Larry Light will explore how different methods to tame the beast were created and evolved from value investing, to index funds, to asset allocation, to financial engineering then assess their pluses and minuses are.
