Description of Market Panic
|
An engaging book that offers a comprehensive and provocative analysis of the market panic phenomenon Why are stock markets regularly gripped by panics? What gives rise to these panics? Are markets becoming more panic-prone? In Market Panic, leading market commentator Stephen Vines provides some unique answers to these questions and shows why panics offer incredible opportunities to stock market investors. He challenges some long-held assumptions about the benefits of investment diversification, offers new ways of understanding the panic cycle, and demonstrates how to predict the onset of panics. Vines also looks at how stock markets are becoming detached from the companies and economies they are supposed to represent, thus building a new and more dangerous form of instability into the market system
