Practical Speculation by Victor Niederhoffer,Laurel Kenner Pdf

Hier kommt der Nachfolger des viel gepriesenen Bestsellers "The Education of a Speculator" vom gleichen Autor. (ebenfalls bei Wiley erschienen, 0471 13747 2) "Practical Speculation" ist die Fortsetzungsgeschichte einer echten Finanzmarkt-Legende. Niederhoffer war im Futures-Handel äußerst erfolgreich, bis unvorhergesehene Verluste ihn 1997 zur Aufgabe seines Unternehmens zwangen. Wie Phönix aus der Asche kehrte Niederhoffer 1999 in die Welt des Aktien-, Futures- und Optionshandels zurück - allerdings mit einer neuen Kollegin und einer neuen Methode. Dieses Buch erzählt die spannende und inspirierende Geschichte eines Top-Händlers, der sich selbst neu erfunden hat. Hier enthüllt er - gemeinsam mit Coautorin Laurel Kenner - seine einzigartigen Ideen, wie man auch in volatilen Märkten Gewinne machen kann. Eine aufregende Lektüre, die sowohl den "alten Hasen" als auch den Neulingen unter den Händlern und Anlegern zeigt, wo und wie sie die ungewöhnlichsten Marktchancen aufspüren können.

Speculation by Gayle Rogers Pdf

In the modern world, why do we still resort to speculation? Advances in scientific and statistical reasoning are supposed to have provided greater certainty in making claims about the future. Yet we constantly spin out scenarios about tomorrow, for ourselves or for entire societies, with flimsy or no evidence. Insubstantial speculations—from utopian thinking to high-risk stock gambles—often provoke fierce backlash, even when they prove prophetic for the world we come to inhabit. Why does this hypothetical way of thinking generate such controversy? In this cultural, literary, and intellectual history, Gayle Rogers traces debates over speculation from antiquity to the present. Celebrated by Boethius as the height of humanity’s mental powers but denigrated as sinful by John Calvin, speculation eventually became central to the scientific revolution’s new methods of seeing the natural world. In the nineteenth century, writers such as Jane Austen used the concept to diagnose the marriage market, redefining speculation for the purpose of social critique. Speculation fueled the development of modern capitalism, spurring booms, busts, and bubbles, and recently artificial intelligence has automated the speculation previously done by humans, with uncertain and troubling consequences. Unraveling these histories and many other disputes, Rogers argues that what has always been at stake in arguments over speculation, and why it so often appears so threatening, is the authority to produce and control knowledge about the future. Recasting centuries of contests over the power to anticipate tomorrow, this book reveals the crucial role speculation has played in how we create—and potentially destroy—the future.

The Dynamics of Science and Technology by W. Krohn,E.T. Layton Jr.,P. Weingart Pdf

The interrelations of science and technology as an object of study seem to have drawn the attention of a number of disciplines: the history of both science and technology, sociology, economics and economic history, and even the philosophy of science. The question that comes to mind is whether the phenomenon itself is new or if advances in the disciplines involved account for this novel interest, or, in fact, if both are intercon nected. When the editors set out to plan this volume, their more or less explicit conviction was that the relationship of science and technology did reveal a new configuration and that the disciplines concerned with 1tS analysis failed at least in part to deal with the change because of conceptual and methodological preconceptions. To say this does not imply a verdict on the insufficiency of one and the superiority of any other one disciplinary approach. Rather, the situation is much more complex. In economics, for example, the interest in the relationship between science and technology is deeply influenced by the theoretical problem of accounting for the factors of economic growth. The primary concern is with technology and the problem is whether the market induces technological advances or whether they induce new demands that explain the subsequent diffusion of new technologies. Science is generally considered to be an exogenous factor not directly subject to market forces and, therefore, appears to be of no interest.
