Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets : The Dollar, the Yen and the Euro by Philipp Hartmann
Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets
is a major new theoretical and empirical study of international currencies that
focuses on the role the Euro (the future European currency) will play in the
international monetary and financial system, along with the US dollar and the Japanese
yen. In contrast to much of the existing literature that approaches the
subject from a macroeconomic perspective, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical
model that uses game theory, time series and panel econometrics, and links
financial markets analysis with transaction cost economics. The results are presented
with reference to political, historical and institutional considerations,
and provide accessible answers to policy makers, business people and scholars
world wide.

Trading to Win: The Psychology of Mastering the Markets
by Ari Kiev
Buy low, sell high. Sounds simple? Hardly. As most traders
will tell you, finding the right entry and exit points in a market is too
often a stressful and even gut-wrenching experience. Ari Kiev, author of Trading
to Win, wants to change all that. Kiev spent five years with a group of professional
traders at SAC Capital Management, a $500 million hedge fund, studying
the psychological and emotional aspects of what makes for a successful trader.
Kiev found that what hinders many traders is ego, fear, emotion, and "false beliefs
about yourself and the markets." Gaining mastery as a trader means seeing
"the market as it is, not as a reference point for your own existence." Kiev
advocates a disciplined, Zen-like approach to the markets that begins with articulating
a specific goal then committing oneself to attaining that goal in the
most objective way possible, overcoming the emotional baggage that too often leads
to poor decision-making. Trading to Win is for professional and amateur traders
of every stripe who are looking for insight into their own behavior and approach
to the markets.
