Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East خلاصه: Trade is the engine of history, and the acceleration in what scholars call 'globalism' from the beginning of the last millennium has been driven by communities interacting with each other through commerce and exchange. The Ottoman Empire was a trading partner that spanned the globe, and was therefore the primary link between the West and the Middle East in the 15th to the 19th century. The Levant Company traded British manufacturing with the Ottomans for two centuries, hiring de facto ambassadors, locals, explorers and adventurers and tradesmen. It set up 'factories' (trading posts) across the Ottoman lands and traded skins, textiles, crafts and spices. Here Vlami Despina focuses on the company's long decline - utilizing new archival research she unpicks this crucial partnership and assesses it's important to the modern world.

نویسندگان: Michael Halls Moore خلاصه: Whether the systematic rules codied by the strategy actually produce a consistent return and whether the strategy possesses positive performance in the backtests. ˆ Whether a strategy maintains this positive performance in a live implementation or whether it needs to be retired. ˆ The ability to compare multiple strategies/portfolios such that we can reduce the opportu- nity cost associated with allocating a limited amount of trading capital. The particular items of quantitative analysis of performance that we will be interested in are as follows: ˆ Returns - The most visible aspect of a trading strategy concerns the percentage gain since inception, either in a backtest or a live trading environment. The two major performance measures here are Total Return and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). ˆ Drawdowns - A drawdown is a period of negative performance, as dened from a prior high-water mark, itself dened as the previous highest peak on a strategy or portfolio equity curve. We will dene this more concretely below, but you can think of it for now as a (somewhat painful!) downward slope on your performance chart. ˆ Risk - Risk comprises many areas, and we'll spend signicant time going over them in the following chapter, but generally it refers to both risk of capital loss, such as with drawdowns, and volatility of returns. The latter usually being calculated as an annualised standard deviation of returns. ˆ Risk/Reward Ratio - Institutional investors are mainly interested with risk-adjusted returns.

The Art of Trend Trading: Animal Spirits and Your Path to Profits - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Michael Parness خلاصه: Look inward for the missing piece to your trading strategy The Art of Trend Trading bucks the trend of technicality to show readers how instinct and strategy can unite to bring about consistent investment success. Rather than diving ever-deeper into the overdone world of complicated modeling and forecasting techniques, trader, CEO, and bestselling author Michael Parness explains how making intuition a part of your investment strategy tends to result in more long-term profit. Using animal spirits as a metaphor and tool, Parness helps readers understand how their natural tendencies may run counter to their strategy, and how this dichotomy may be the shackle holding them back from true market success. Readers will learn how this perspective lifted Parness from homelessness to making millions in both Bull and Bear markets, and will start developing their own market instinct as they refine and tune into their own natural intuition. Everyone's looking for the "ultimate" system, a way to "game the market" and uncover the "secret" to successful investing. Over the years, Parness has observed that the best traders – those who consistently make money – are the ones that use instinct and intuition, as well as strategy. This book shows you how to identify the natural trader within, and use your gut to inform an ever-evolving investment plan. Follow the author's journey from homelessness to millionaire Identify and understand your own strengths and weaknesses Develop your instinct alongside your strategy Take a lesson from traders making consistent money There's no substitute for good strategy, but it's no secret that some strategies seem to be more profitable than others. The Art of Trend Trading helps you find that missing piece and turn it into more consistent investment success.

Making a Market for Acts of God: The Practice of Risk Trading in the Global Reinsurance Industry - Original PDF
Making a Market for Acts of God: The Practice of Risk Trading in the Global Reinsurance Industry - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Paula Jarzabkowski, Rebecca Bednarek, Paul Spee خلاصه: Reinsurance is a financial market that trades in the risk of unpredictable and devastating disasters - such as Hurricane Katrina, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. Such disasters are increasing in both frequency and severity, with the cost of their losses mounting rapidly. Reinsurance insures insurance companies, enabling them to pay claims arising from these losses. It is thus a market mechanism that is a critical part of the social and economic safety net, helping to pick up the pieces after disasters. Yet, how is the risk of such disasters calculated and traded in a global market? This book brings to life the reinsurance market through vivid real-life tales that draw from an ethnographic, "fly-on-the-wall" study of the global reinsurance industry over three annual cycles. The authors shadowed underwriters around the world as they traded risks through multiple disasters. For instance, this book takes readers into the desperate hours of pricing Japanese risks during March 2011, while the devastating aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake is unfolding. To show how the market works, the book offers authentic tales gathered from observations of reinsurers in Bermuda, Lloyd's of London, Continental Europe and SE Asia as they evaluate, price and compete for different risks as part of their everyday practice. Understanding how this market for disasters works has never been more critical given the impact of climate change and increased global connectivity, where a flood in one country can trigger losses to supply chains around the world. The authors develop a novel concept of how global markets work, which advances scholarship and challenges current thinking about how financial markets trade in intangible assets such as risk. This book will be useful to readers interested in markets for disasters, insurance, reinsurance and financial markets, and academics interested in the practice of financial markets specifically or the practice of strategy and organizations generally.
