You can do more to protect yourself from market risks and down markets. The secret: Understand the big picture and know when to shift money toward more promising industry groups, sectors, or asset classes. This strategy is called &;global macro investing&;--and, as Chief Investment Officer for Harris Private Bank, Jack Ablin has used it to deliver results for many of the world&;s wealthiest families and individuals.
In Reading Minds and Markets, Ablin distills his techniques into a remarkably simple, commonsense five-step plan that any investor can use. You&;ll discover how to anticipate some of the more significant shifts in global markets and move investments toward areas that are more likely to grow. Equally important, you&;ll learn how to overcome bad habits that inevitably lead to failure--habits all too often reinforced by the financial media.
In today&;s unforgiving markets, you need to make smarter high-level decisions and fewer mistakes: This book will help you do both.
