With Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards, two of the bestselling finance titles of all time, Jack Schwager is one of the most important and visible figures in the futures industry today. Now, in Managed Trading, the latest volume in the Schwager on Futures series, he takes an in-depth look at the increasingly prominent new asset class: managed futures, professionally managed investments in commodity and financial futures markets. Due to their potentially high returns and their diversification and inflation hedging potential, managed futures have grown rapidly in popularity and acceptance in the past decade. Today, there are over $25 million in managed futures accounts. Schwager's full-scale examination covers all aspects of this investment sector, encompassing performance evaluation, manager selection, investment timing, and portfolio considerations. In the process, he explodes many commonly held investment myths. Managed Trading is the most substantive book on the subject, and an indispensable Schwager title no investor should be without. The following are some of the many topics covered: Why "actual" trading results are sometimes a misnomer Why many investors in managed futures lose money even when they select a winning manager Why shifting assets from "winners" to "losers" is often an excellent strategy Why it is usually better to invest in managers when they are experiencing drawdowns as opposed to when they are on winning streaks Why the actual performance of funds and pools routinely deteriorates dramatically from the prospectus results Is past performance predictive of future performance? Is the addition of managed futures to conventional portfolios beneficial or detrimental to performance? Is diversification beneficial? Performance measures: conventional and new Why all conventional CTA indexes are misleading With numerous charts, tables, and examples illustrating key points throughout, Managed Trading is written in the informative, insightful, and nontechnical style that is Schwager's hallmark. An important addition to this landmark series by one of the world's premier authorities. An in-depth investigation into the increasingly popular investment: managed futures—written by one of the world's leading authorities "Jack Schwager has written the definitive book on managed futures investing.

Company share options schemes have been the source of much debate over recent years. Critics have seen them as a significant component of the excessive compensation, and the "fat cat" rewards, received by senior executives. They further link this to the widening gap between the compensation awarded to senior executives and that received by other employees. Advocates of the use of executive and employee share options point out that they:Help to align the interests of executives and employees with those of shareholders?Increase productivityEncourage entrepreneurshipProvide a means of attracting key staffConserve the scarce cash resources of growth businessesIncreasingly, company share option schemes are becoming an indispensable feature of the compensation of both executives and employees, particularly in high technology growth businesses. Their use is promoted by governments, who view them as encouraging entrepreneurship, facilitating employee share ownership, and assisting in the creation of a stakeholder economy. This book examines all aspects of the use of company share options and provides an essential grounding in this vital topic.

The Mathematics of Technical Analysis by Clifford J. Sherry and Jason W. Sherry promises to revolutionize how we think about the markets. In this ground-breaking work, the authors challenge the random walk hypothesis – the idea that there is neither rhyme nor reason to the markets. This far-reaching text describes a series of simple but statistically rigorous methods for analyzing time series. Originally developed to study information processing in the nervous system, they have been modified to analyze economically important time series. These statistical techniques allow traders to determine if a time series is stationary/non-stationary, independent/dependent, and/or random/non-random. These statistical questions are vital for traders because if a time series is non-stationary, independent, and random, it is unlikely that any analysis method, technical or fundamental, will work because the underlying rules that generate the time series change from time to time without warning. However, if a time series is stationary, dependent and non-random, the underlying rules generating prices demonstrate a consistency that will allow analysts to identify low risk/high reward trades.
