Choosing The Best Trading Books

When it comes to trading any instrument (stocks, bonds, CFDs, forex etc), there are many resources out there to help you learn the ropes. Online courses, seminars and even one-on-one training are available. But sometimes the best way to learn is the old-fashioned way – reading a book.

Reading a book has the advantage of being substantially cheaper than most courses and seminars available. Books allow concepts that are not immediately understood to be reread as many times as necessary. The question is, which trading books are the best trading books?

Be wary of any book that makes outrageous claims in its title or cover “Become a day trading pro in an hour!” or “Turn $1,000 to $1,000,000 in months!”. These books will underestimate or neglect to teach the inherent risks associated with trading. Risk management is even more important than trade selection. No point selecting winning trades only to have all your profits wiped out because of one trade where risk management was neglected. Read the rest of this entry »

Pay-as-you-drive explained

A group representing the insurance regulators has been meeting over the last few days. There have been a number of issues on their agenda, but the most interesting has been whether to adopt a policy for every state to require its local insurance companies to offer pay-as-you-drive policies. These policies have a simple purpose. If motorists drive less, there’s a reduction in the level of greenhouse gas emissions. This is a good thing because it will cut down on the overall damage to the environment. No matter what you believe about climate change, this will improve the health of the many who suffer from skin allergies and asthma caused by the pollution. The insurance companies therefore reduce the premiums for those who drive less. Not only is this environmentally responsible, it’s also good business sense. Lowering premiums attracts more business, but if these drivers reduce the number of miles they drive a year, their risk profile is lower. They should be involved in fewer accidents. This becomes a way of reducing premiums but maintaining profitability. Read the rest of this entry »

Should insurance companies compete with each other?

The US is justly proud of its reputation as the home of modern capitalism and has promoted the idea of free markets to skeptical countries around the world. The fact that a bubble in the property market fuelled this recession does not change the philosophical power of the US economic model. When it works properly, the free market pushes businesses to compete. This improves the quality of service and keeps down the price. The consumer benefits. All federal government need do is intervene when there is clear evidence of a company abusing its dominant position to damage the consumers’ interests. Unfortunately, under the last administration, antitrust enforcement was scaled back. Worse, there were deeply entrenched monopolies and cartels that could not be investigated or regulated. The leading example of this immunity is enjoyed by the insurance industry. Some sixty-five years ago, it was exempted from federal antitrust laws by the McCarran-Ferguson Act. This is a sad example of corruption in government. Vested interests bought enough votes to get the Act passed. Lobbyists’ money has kept the immunity in place ever since. Read the rest of this entry »
