Product Description

Product Description

Expert advice in a back–to–basics handbook on how to beat the market–the classic way

In Investment Psychology Explained Martin J. Pring, one of the most respected independent investment advisors in the world, argues that in the revisionist ′90s there are no quick, magical paths to market success. Rather, he emphasizes the timeless values of hard work, patience, and self–discipline–and much more. Drawing on the wisdom of creative investors such as Jesse Livermore, Humphrey Neill, and Barnard Baruch, as well as his own experience, Pring shows how to:
∗ Overcome emotional and psychological impediments that distort decision making
∗ Map out an independent investment plan–and stick to it
∗ Know when to buck herd opinion–and "go contrarian"
∗ Dispense with the myths and delusions that drag down other investors
∗ Resist the fads and so–called experts whose siren call to success can lead to disaster
∗ Exploit fast–breaking news events that rock the market
∗ Deal skillfully with brokers and money managers
∗ Learn and understand the rules that separate the truly great investors and traders from the rest

Reading Investment Psychology Explained will give you a renewed appreciation of the classic trading principles that, through bull and bear markets, have worked time and again. You′ll see, with the help of numerous illustrative examples, what goes into making an effective investor–and how you can work toward achieving that successful profile.


From the Author

Market wisdom of the ages gathered together in one book.
Investment Psychology Explained

Over the last one hundred years or so, countless books have been written on the psychological aspects of trading and investing. My purpose in writing Investment Psychology Explained was not to break new ground, but to bring together, in one volume, a distillation of the soundest wisdom and basic common sense on the subject of market psychology. I've tried to resist the temptation of padding the material, leaving the reader just with the meat of the market wisdom over the ages in a complete, easy-to-read, and clearly organized format. The contents are as follows:

Part I Knowing Yourself 1. There is no Holy Grail 2. How to be Objective 3. Independent Thinking 4. Pride Goes before a Loss 5. Patience is a Profitable Virtue 6. Staying the Course

Part II: The Wall Street Herd 1. A New Look at Contrary Opinion 2. When to Go Contrary 3. How to Profit from Newsbreaks 4. Dealing with Brokers and Money Managers the Smart Way

Part III: Staying One Step Ahead 1. What Makes a Great Trader of Investor 2. Nineteen Trading Rules for greater profits 3. Making a Plan and Sticking to It 4. Classic trading Rules

4.0 out of 5 stars Martin Pring's work is thoroughly educating/enjoyable., 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Investment Psychology Explained was a very informative piece that details some of the emotional problems that traders and investors alike must face within themselves when playing the stock market. At the same time, however, Pring uses many real world examples that show how some of his theories and tips have either been applied or ignored and the results that followed. These real-world examples, in my mind, added to the book's entertainment and helped illustrate how Pring's tips can be transferred over to the reader's own investment style. The main idea that I walked away with from the book is that letting emotions interfere with investment decisions is like mixing oil with water...they don't blend at all together and only result in a big mess. However, I did feel that Pring's book did a lot of summarization of others' ideas, and more concrete plans of action for the daytrading speculator would have been in order. Overall, I found the work to be worth the money and ! a very interesting reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars Complicated Psychologocal Hypothesis, 13 Jan 1999
By A Customer
His book is clearly written with fine examples, however, its not presented in a retainable, usable format. There are other books that present the same topic in a more effective manner. The main premise of the book: "Do not let market concerns drive your investment strategies." There, I just saved you $16.00.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know yourself
I learned a lot about myself by reading this book. Who would have thought it--the stock market as guru. Perhaps samsara and nirvana aren't so different after all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sound advice from a guy who's clearly done his homework
Pring makes an excellent case for his premise that every investor's worst enemy is him (or her)self. Read more
