<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Investors deserve a good explanation about what bear markets are and how to profit (or minimize loss) when stock prices are falling. "The Bear Book" is the resource for the inevitable: what goes up must come down, and every investor must prepare for a bearish onslaught in the future. Rothchild takes a comprehensive look at what a bear market is and how it affects investors.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In der außergewöhnlichen Volatilität der Märkte sehen die meisten Analysten ein sich fortsetzender Trend - ein Zeichen für die haarsträubende Instabilität der Finanzmärkte. Am 28 Oktober 1997 fiel der Dow um 500 Prozentpunkte. Investoren weltweit sind auf diese Weise schmerzlich an die Börsenweisheit erinnert worden, daß das was hoch steigt, tief fallen kann. Dies ist eine äußerst beunruhigende Erfahrung für jeden, der noch keine Baisse erlebt habt. John Rothchild jedoch hat keine Angst vor einer ausgewachsenen Börsenbaisse. In seinem Buch The Bear Book: Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets sagt er, wie man sich psychologisch und taktisch auf die drohende Katastrophe vorbereitet, seine Vermögenswerte schützt und Verluste minimiert. Ein umfangreicher Leitfaden, der geschickt und kompetent die Informationslücke über den Baissemarkt schließt. Gegenüber der gebundenen Ausgabe sind in dieser Broschurausgabe seitenweise neue Informationen hinzugekommen sowie ein Kapitel mit 15 Tipps zu Verhaltensmaßregeln, was man während einer Baisse tun sollte und was besser nicht. Rothchild versteht es hervorragend, eine gute Geschichte mit solider Investmentanalyse zu verquicken: Eine anregende Lektüre für alle Investoren.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>October 28, 1997. The Dow drops 500 points. Investors the world over receive a startling reminder that "what goes up, must come down." It is a profoundly unsettling experience for those of us who have either forgotten or have never known the experience of a bear market. Half of the money invested in U.S. stocks in this century entered the market from 1991-1996, making the dark days of October memorable for their bloodletting. Overall, this was just a scratch, and despite the optimism of so many investors, history has shown that the bear attacks time and time again. <p/> John Rothchild, critically acclaimed author of the bestselling A Fool and His Money, isn't even afraid to face a full-fledged bear market. In his topical and timely new book, Rothchild reveals how to prepare psychologically and tactically for the looming debacle. Breaking from the pack of investment books which tacitly assume a bull market, The Bear Book focuses on protecting assets and minimizing losses during a bear market and on taking advantage of unique opportunities for profit. <p/> With customary flair and style, Rothchild chronicles the long history of bear markets, exploring in detail exactly what constitutes a bear market and how it affects us. Along with his own expertise, the author draws on respected and knowledgeable names such as Jim Rogers, Jim Grant, and Martin Zweig, among a host of prominent investment advisors, strategists, and fund managers. The result is a comprehensive chronicle that deftly and definitively fills the "bearish information gap." <p/> John Rothchild's masterful penchant for blending wit, good storytelling, and sound investment analysis makes The Bear Book both informative and vastly entertaining. He distinguishes the characteristics of past bear markets, examining what triggered them, how long they lasted-and why. He probes the unique psychology of bearish investing, concentrating on which types of investments generally do well during a downturn in the market. His often surprising answers to some straightforward, no-nonsense questions clarify, among other key issues, what can happen to mutual funds in a bear market, and exactly what the dangers are of selling short. Of critical importance is Rothchild's overview of the alternatives to stocks, including gold, bonds, and money market funds, as well as tips on what stocks to buy when the market starts to turn bullish again. <p/> For historical perspective, The Bear Book also includes a unique and eye-opening account of the Crash of '29 and its survivors. Profiles of prominent bearish investors-Roy Neuberger and Philip Carret, among them-contain illuminating long-term perspectives on the ups and downs of the stock market over the past fifty to seventy-five years. <p/> A bracing tonic for investors at all levels of experience, The Bear Book offers a veritable blueprint of the various stages of a typical bear market. It will prove invaluable to those of us who wish to protect our savings -and peace of mind -whenever the market drops.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>(John Rothchild) made a small fortune from writing books that made finance funny and entertaining.-Miami Herald <p/> Mr. Rothchild finds some compelling evidence that a bear might be lurking in the woods.
