Description
Profiting from the Hidden Investment Clues Found in Everyday Things
How could you have made by paying better attention to Wheel of Fortune? And how did the stock market react when Clara Peller first shouted, "Where's the beef?" Why did the drought of 1988 cause dozens of stocks to plummet and then rebound? And why was the bond market so scared of Bill Clinton? These are exactly the kinds of questions that Derrick Niederman, a contributing editor at Worth magazine, has been asking for years. What he's found is that you don't have to be a mathematician with a high-powered computer to make money on Wall Street: The clues found in advertising, weather, politics, fads, television shows, and movies can point the way to winning stocks before you have crunched so much as a single number. This Is Not Your Father's Stockpicking Book
reveals the hidden but easy-to-grasp patterns that we can apply to our own stock portfolios. You'll learn the big stock picking difference between the television shows Dallas and Get Smart; how to catch fads like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and how to know when to leave those situations alone; and how FedEx was able to position itself in the overnight delivery business with the help of the world's fastest talker. And each example is backed up by solid stock-market data, proving that the method works.
