How
the Global Financial Markets Really Work
The Definitive Guide to Understanding International Investment and Money
Flows.
Kogan Page, July 2009. £13.59 (including £2.40 discount).

With EU legislation, the increasing reach of the US economy,
greater flexibility of financial instruments, and M&A activity across
borders, financial markets are becoming ever more international. Overshadowing
them all is the spectre
of the credit crunch - a global tsunami that stemmed originally from the subprime
mortgage crisis in the US but quickly became a global issue, hitting both international
money markets and high street lending. How the Global Financial Markets
Really Work brings clarity and sense to an often complex international environment,
showing how circumstances in one country can have a dramatic effect on the
financial environment in many others. The book examines financial markets as
they are today - global and, for better or worse, interlinked and inter-dependent.
It covers the markets of the US and Europe, as well as other key financial
centres around the world, but will also offer insight to the unique issues
facing emerging markets, including Eastern Europe, China, India, Africa and
the Middle East.

This book was an immediate best seller on publication. In current market volatility, both new and experienced investors are buying it in droves. Do not miss this investment classic. Let me explain why. |

There are countless
ways to play the stock market but how do the City professionals, the
ones who do it for a living, invest their own money? Not always
by relying on the same advice that they give you, you can be sure.
Some make up to thousands of pounds within minutes. Others make more
modest returns, but these accumulate into a fat nest egg in a quarter
of the time it takes the average investor. What are they doing that
is so superior?
Answer?
They are quietly using a dynamic and proven investment system that,
until now, has been top-secret. In this book, best selling author
Alexander Davidson draws on his investment banking experience and
spills the beans. The Bargain Hunters' Investment System, set out
here in this book for the first time in print, is a tried, proven
and tested way to make serious money on the stock market in volatile
markets. It works for the City money men, and it can work for you.
The
golden rules of this investment system are set out so clearly that
any investor, even the greenest beginner, can apply them and build
the nest egg of his or her dreams. Davidson pulls no punches as
he sets out the City's most trusted methods for selecting and buying
undervalued shares and other assets at rock-bottom prices and commissions
- before they soar in value.
For
the more adventurous investors, how you really make the big money
in day-trading is revealed - only the City traders know the innermost
secrets, including how to minimize the risks, and these are included
in the book.
But
you should never view the stock market in isolation from your other
investments. Insurance, pensions, ISAs, second hand endowments,
even timeshare come under focus in my book. The role of stockbrokers
and financial advisers comes under the microscope. Here – captured
in one book – is the only advice canny investors will ever
need. The growing band of City money men that have used this system
to make fortunes on the stock market will testify to that.
You
will find in this book lively examples taken straight from the City
dealing room - where journalists are banned and investors never
get a look in - but which reveal more about the wild and wacky world
of the stock market than you will glean from a lifetime of reading
ordinary how-to stock market investment books.
