Stock Market Crashes

Description

The piece de resistance of the body of work of research in the field of Stock Market investment, the book, “Stock Market Crashes: Predictable and Unpredictable and What to Do about Them,” is something that a budding investor cannot afford to miss. 

The material delves into the reasons behind and times that the Stock Market had crashed. The discussions that one will find here are exhaustive and unabashed in being technical. It goes to lengths to expound what a “bubble” is in the context of the Stock Market study. 

A bubble, as the book effectively flays it, is defined as an instance that sees prices rise just because they do as they go beyond the fundamental values. The book focuses on the reality that a bubble may be seen through a huge jump in prices that is to be followed by a sudden plunge. The book looks into a bubble’s existence, how its appearance can be foreseen, and what exit strategies can be taken in the event that an investor encounters them. 

Furthering the book’s reach, the authors also outlined the bubbles that had appeared across history, narrowing it within the last one hundred years.

The book lays down the 4 models that would successfully dodge potentially damaging stock market declines. Wholly reliable and keen, the authors give sound advice on what steps should be taken should a crash occur.
