Profits Without Panic : Investment Psychology for Personal Wealth

Amazon.com

Practicing psychologist and independent investor Jonathan Myers advocates an approach to investing that relies heavily on his expertise in psychology. And in Profits Without Panic, his innovative method emerges as an attractive alternative to the less-imaginative systems usually espoused in today's investment guides. Mixing established principles with some rather unorthodox practices--such as anticipating other investors' responses to financial news, assessing a company's nonfinancial assets, and evaluating your own previous decisions in order to plot a winning game plan for the future--Myers champions a strategy of "psychonomic rationality" that, he says, will more accurately "evaluate fundamental and weightless factors of an investment while minimizing any tendency to make systematic errors." His step-by-step program contains appropriate tools for self-evaluation and novel techniques to analyze the market (how to determine true personal priorities, dispel common misperceptions, avoid herd-mentality mistakes, etc.). "Once you begin to separate out these internal and external elements," he asserts, "it becomes easier to see the opportunities." --Howard Rothman

Book Description

Very worthwhile for the long term intelligent investor........1999-05-14

Profits Without Panic lays out how to separate hype from substance and emotion from reason so that you can make money with confidence. Not a book for your average day trader, but the kind of read that would have made Bernard Baruch proud.

Book Description

The third-party logistics industry is a growing field. Relationships between third-party logistics providers and customer firms demand the creation of logistics contract where the necessary business and legal agreements are stipulated. Until now, the creation and negotiation of these agreements have been based on custom. This is the first practical handbook to support managers in the creation and negotiation of logistics contracts from the legal and economic perspective. The book provides the general framework and an extensive analysis of the content, structure and best practices of logistics contracts.

Logistics contracts.......2007-04-22

The book has the very great merit of filling a vacuum, anybody dealing with logistics and distribution is faced with logistics service contracts. It is a worthwhile attemp at organising that body of knowledge from a legal perspective giving guidance and models in English, the language of international contracts. On the minus side: the English of non native speakers is often convoluted and difficult to follow; more and more extensive model contracts could be provided (perhaps through a web site) and the book does not cover the non legal aspects (e.g. quantitative ) of a tender and then a contract (e.g. KPIs, data analysis, tariff structures). A good starting point to move past one's local knowledge and into international contracts but by no means a definitive and comprehensive treatement.

Expensive book with limited value.......1999-02-25

The book is published in a binder form and costs $95,- For this money the readers would be entitled to a detailed and practical guide, usable in their work and a source to refer to. Unfortunately the book is quite superficial, too verbose and not even clearly presented. Its major defect is that in fact it says very little about contract administration itself, that is the work the contract administrator does after the contract is signed and until it is completed. There is very little on how to deal with the other contractual party, what problems occur and how to handle them. There are some parts which are clearly irritating, for instance : Part 10. Title: What is a claim? The author says : "Some think this, other think that. In fact there are many types of claims", and does not answer the question he himself asks in the title.

Book Description

Governments spend huge amounts of money buying goods and services from the private sector. How far should their spending power be affected by social policy? Arguments against the practice are often made by economists - on the grounds of inefficiency - and lawyers - on the grounds of free competition and international economic law. Buying Social Justice analyses how governments in developed and developing countries use their contracting power in order to advance social equality and reduce discrimination, and argues that this approach is an entirely legitimate, and efficient means of achieving social justice. The book looks at the different experiences of a range of countries, including the UK, the USA and South Africa. It also examines the impact of international and regional regulation of the international economy, and questions the extent to which the issue of procurement policy should be regulated at the national, European or international levels. The role of EC and WTO law in mediating the tensions between the economic function of procurement and the social uses of procurement is discussed, and the outcomes of controversies concerning the legitimacy of the integration of social values into procurement are analysed. Buying Social Justice argues that European and international legal regulation of procurement has become an important means of accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative in both the social and economic uses of procurement.

Maxwell, John Irwing. A Pocket Dictionary of the Law of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, Bank Notes, Checks, &c. With an Appendix, Containing Abstracts of Acts and Select Cases Relative to Negotiable Securities, Analysis of a Count in Assumpsit, Tables of Notarial Fees, Stamps, Postage, &c. With Many Additions for the Use of the American Merchant. Philadelphia: William P. Farrand and Co., 1808. xv, 251 pp. Reprint available 2003 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2002044362. ISBN 1-58477-312-X. Cloth. $75. First published in London in 1802, this dictionary is an unusual alphabetical compendium dealing strictly with matters of commerce, such as bills of exchange and promissory notes. It was probably used by attorneys involved in the commerce generated by the Louisiana Purchase. Because of its scarcity, its publication during Thomas Jefferson's administration during the Federal era of pride and prosperity, and its unique concentration on commerce, the reprint of this dictionary will be of interest to dictionary and legal scholars alike. Maxwell was also the author of The Spirit of Marine Law (1808).

Book Description

It is well known that arid-land soils are adversely affected by the presence of sodium, yet only recently has the behavior of sodium in the soils of humid and subhumid areas --where most of the world's cereal crop is grown--been recognized. This book of commissioned chapters will focus on the "non-classic" sodic soils, describing the processes of soil degradation resulting from sodium and other deleterious components (such as magnesium), and outlining strategies for ameliorating their effects on soil systems.

Book Description

Perfect Turkeys is the second in a series of books, that examines (through short stories) the often hilarious, and always funny life and times of Michael Devin Hughes. Whether searching for the Perfect Turkey for Thanksgiving, or trying to locate the Fig Queen's House in Brewster Hollow, or reserving a hotel room with a chain hotel, Michael Devin Hughes complicates the most simple of tasks. Though quadruple-divorced, Hughes maintains relations with his ex-wives and children, as the short stories, "Dancing With My Daughter," "A Walk at Sunset With My Son," and "Chief of Personal Appearance" reveal.

Michael Devin Hughes' obsessive nature is deliciously illustrated in "Lemon Bars." His humorous bond with his father is wonderfully amplified in "The Buffet Line." And Hughes incredibly bad timing is hilariously detailed in "Dinner and Railroad Crossings."
