Product Description

Review

"The author provides readers with a realistic assessment of the economic and financial implications of existing government policies going forward, as well as the turbulent stock market history and performance. With this knowledge, coupled with the author’s recommendation of an absolute return strategy, investors will have the insight necessary to set appropriate financial goals and manage their assets in the upside-down stock market."  Futures Magazine

Product Description

The U.S. economic crisis of 2008 isn't over! The next bubble, explosive government debt, is brewing. At the same time, the economy can't generate growth, the treasury is exhausted, the Fed's balance sheet is over-stressed, consumers remain deep in debt, and short-term interest rates are at near-zero. Intelligent investors can't just mourn the death of easy profits: they want and need new strategies for success through history's potentially worst equity market. In Market Upside Down, Dr. Vinh Q. Tran presents those strategies. Tran begins by explaining why the U.S. financial crisis will only get worse. He then provides professional and active investors a comprehensive framework for profiting in an upside down market that could last for decades. Drawing on his market expertise, as well as experience as money manager to institutional and wealthy investors, Tran shows how to build wealth and generate return in times of crisis with a focus on what will matter most in the coming years: liquidity and risk management. Tran helps investors explore global investments and opportunities that won't depend on the troubled U.S. economy or a reinvigorated market soaring, and shows how to profit from the coming age of scarcity. Along the way, he demonstrates how to use fixed income, hedge funds, and non-traditional investments, with minimal equity risks to create a portfolio that is positioned to provide liquidity, profits and importantly to weather future crises.

2.0 out of 5 stars Informative but redundant 20 April 2011
By Bryan Yu Guo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is informative but very redundant with repetitive descriptions of same events e.g. The tech stock bubble burst in 2000s. The intended reader group is not clearly defined either, you will not understand the content with a basic understanding of the banking and financial system, however, many basics were repetitively described and explained. It's neither a practical guide of investing in the bare market, nor a in-depth history of investing in the Down time. However I do appreciate kindle and the Author offered it for free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educates and Entertains 10 Nov 2010
By Theodore Stephens - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As some one who is just learning about the financial market, I am often intimidated by books in this genre, but I found Market Upside Down to be illuminating. The author does a great job of explaining how we arrived at our current financial situation and where we are headed. I recommend it to anyone interested in investing in the market or just wants to understand how it works.

1.0 out of 5 stars A terrible book 30 Jun 2012
By E. Elnozahy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
After arguing that we are heading to hell in a handbasket because of excessive leverage, the author draws parallels to the lost decade in Japan. He then gets into his recommendation in this new world order, and this is where the book falls apart:
- He argues for bonds, even though the beginning of the book predicts inflation and loss of currency value.
- He shuns stocks as unsafe, but then argues for buying emerging market stocks which are a lot riskier than domestic ones because of lack of rigor, regulation, and political instability, in addition to the currency risk.
- He then argues for M& arbitrage!!!

The writing is terrible. He keeps repeating the same theme again and again. Caught myself dozing off several times. Not worth the money. There are others who present deeper analyses of the disasters to come, and yet the solutions presented are incoherent and self-contradictory.

The equity investing game is becoming less favorable, the odds are increasing, and winning is questionable and much less assured than it was in the 1980s and ’90s. &quote;

Thus comes the idea of absolute return investing. Instead of chasing after some market benchmark, absolute return investing seeks to achieve final wealth with minimal risk of losses and lower volatility of returns. &quote;
