Investments and Trading. Forming an Individual Approach to Decision-Making

Forming an individual approach to making investment decisions.
The financial market is an informational jungle with constantly emerging dangers, opportunities, misconceptions, and discoveries. How to increase the chances of survival and profit? Which analytical methods can be relied upon? What risks are acceptable? Which strategies are most likely to lead to success?

The book by Simon Vain, board member of Alfa-Bank, answers these questions and allows the reader to form an individual trading style. The author critically re-evaluates common financial theory assertions and shows how they work in practice. In the third edition of the book, two parts dedicated to options have been removed, and the rest have undergone only minor changes, as the theories and methods of finance have not significantly changed. A chapter has been added analyzing changes in financial markets that have occurred since the last edition.

The book is aimed at traders and investors who operate in the stock, bond, currency, and derivative markets.
