Bass","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing a computer to beat Wall Street from afar is, arguably, the new American dream. While it will remain just that for most of us, an offbeat gang of academics turned financial wizards is showing it can be done. Led by acclaimed physicists Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard, the Santa Fe-based Prediction Company has proven since its 1991 founding in an adobe bungalow furnished with plastic lawn chairs and top-of-the-line Sun workstations that it is indeed possible to make millions in the world's financial markets by anticipating trends and developing software that automatically capitalizes on them. In The Predictors, Thomas A. Bass colorfully relates their tale of fiscal triumph--and reveals in the process how even an unorthodox group of antibusiness intellectuals in far-off New Mexico can make the world's biggest institutions sit up and take notice.\u003cbr\u003eLong esteemed in the scientific community, Farmer and Packard have become legendary in hacker circles since their failed attempt to beat the roulette tables in Las Vegas with toe-operated computers was chronicled in Bass's well-regarded 1985 book called The Eudaemonic Pie. This time, though, the two hit the jackpot with their cutting-edge computer programs and the company they created to trade German marks, Chicago commodities, Japanese treasury bonds, Texas oil futures, and New York securities. Bass's prose is a bit flowery at times, but his perceptive you-are-there account is nonetheless entertaining and sure to cement the pair's reputation as today's ultimate masters of 'phynance,' the successful, and now oft-copied, merger of physics and finance. --Howard Rothman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41809371037770,"sku":"24at","price":16.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/24at.jpg?v=1764164287"},{"product_id":"the-valuation-of-unquoted-shares-in-new-zealand-by-g-s-crimp-52b","title":"The Valuation of Unquoted Shares in New Zealand by G.

This sheds a whole new light on negative gearing strategies for investors and this may no longer be so attractive for certain investors.  Editorial Reviews  From the Back Cover Property promoters create the illusion that negative gearing will magically solve an investor's taxation problems. That is not necessarily the case. This book takes an objective look at the tax effect of a loss from a rental property.   Practising accountant Tony Compton has the experience to know that many property investors do not understand the tax implications of their property investments, and it's no wonder - Australia's tax system is involved, complex and unwieldly.  This updated third edition of Rental Property and Taxation is a must-read for any owner of, or anyone considering purchasing, a rental property. It provides practical and sound advice in a straightforward manner, taking the reader through the purchase of a property, the tax return and the sale. The effect of non-cash allowances, such as decline in value and construction cost write-offs, are covered in depth, as are repairs and maintenance, capital gains tax, record keeping and other essential tax matters.

What happens if you don't make it to your Number?  Do you have a plan?  The often-avoided, anxiety-riddled discussion about financial planning for a secure and fulfilling future has been given a new starting point in The Number by Lee Eisenberg. The buzz of professionals and financial industry insiders everywhere, the Number represents the amount of money and resources people will need to enjoy the active life they desire, especially post-career. Backed by imaginative reporting and insights, Eisenberg urges people to assume control and responsibility for their standard of living, and take greater aim on their long-term aspirations.  In 1999, Eisenberg was in the midst of downshifting from having served as the Editor-in-Chief of Esquire and other high profile positions. He was half-in, half-out of the workplace with an enviable consulting position at Time, Inc., and a family comfortably settled in the suburbs. That's when he received an unexpected offer from the Wisconsin-based Lands' End which, in the end, he couldn't resist. It meant uprooting his family and moving to the rural heartland, and taking on the challenges of an entirely new way of life. Before the move, he admits, I was worried about the Number. Once in Wisconsin, Eisenberg confesses that the Number was leading us around by our noses.   From Wall Street to Main Street USA, The Number means different things to different people. It is constantly fluctuating in people's minds and bank accounts. To some, the Number symbolizes freedom, validation of career success, the ticket to luxurious indulgences and spiritual exploration; to others, it represents the bewildering and nonsensical nightmare of an impoverished existence creeping up on them in their old age, a seemingly hopeless inevitability that they would rather simply ignore than confront. People are highly private and closed-mouthed when it comes to discussing their Numbers, or lack thereof, for fear they might either reveal too much or display ineptitude.   In The Number, Eisenberg describes this secret anxiety as the Last Taboo, a conundrum snared in confusing financial lingo. He sorts through the fancy jargon and translates the Number into commonsense advice that resonates just as easily with the aging gods and goddesses of corporate boardrooms as it does with ordinary people who are beginning to realize that retirement is now just a couple of decades away. Believing that the Number is as much about self-worth as it is net worth, Eisenberg strives to help readers better understand and more efficiently manage all aspects of their life, money, and pursuit of happiness.  * According to Eisenberg, Number chasers fall into four personality types:   --Procrastinators enter their forties and fifties ensconced in a cloud of avoidance and denial about the years ahead of them, or simply do not understand investing in their futures.   --Pluckers often lazily or arrogantly pull ephemeral, albeit specific, Numbers from thin air with little attention to developing a realistic and coherent plan to achieve their goals.   --Plotters crunch every practical aspect of their financial history, hoping to cement their Number in black and white, even at the expense of not having fun and leisure.  --Probers visualize their Numbers not as an end but as the means to pursuing dreams and passions, and completing inner and outer journeys to self-fulfillment.  * The current Debt Warp is the silent Number killer that afflicts young and old that has been brought on by our whip-it-out credit-card culture.  * The Lost Years describes a person's 20s, 30s, and 40s wherein sensible financial foundation-building bows to oblivious and careless spending, and the tug-of-war dichotomy between the old Rest of Your Life and the new Rest of Your Life.  * A surprise Lifestyle Relapse attack around retirement age can be induced by debt, aging, long term care, and self-absorption. Living longer and spending more, people will eventually experience dire consequences in response to the debt-drenched, expense account-driven lifestyles to which they have grown accustomed.  * The six tenets of the Eisenberg Uncertainty Principles outline the dubious state of living in a carpe diem-addicted, indebted culture with little financial guidance or responsibility.   * Downshifting is an important skill one needs to know how to do in the expanse between leaving a career and before death in order to maintain financial stability and a happy life.  Eisenberg's book is not an investment guide, but rather something wholly original: a revealing look behind our most common financial and emotional conflicts and how we can begin to get a grip on them. Eisenberg gives each reader a unique and unprecedented tool with which to virtually craft his or her future. This encompassing book is a priceless, step-by-step prelude to initiating, or continuing, discussions with a qualified financial advisor. The bottom line for The Number is that Eisenberg offers each reader a fresh and promising beginning to the rest of his or her life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41809878188106,"sku":"522u","price":14.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/522u_1.jpg?v=1764178995"},{"product_id":"finance-for-performance-and-profit-by-susan-hansen-542e","title":"Finance for Performance and Profit by Susan Hansen","description":"\u003cp\u003ePractical book written in plain language to demystify accounting and finance for non-financial managers.

It brings together and places capital, creates new and innovative financial products, and buys and sells physical and financial assets. Its role in global economic growth has been, and remains, unique and vital. In spite of its importance and strengths, however, Wall Street repeatedly fails. At all levels, Wall Street makes serious mistakes in its core areas of expertise - falling short of its potential when raising capital, giving advice or managing risk, and demonstrating vulnerabilities when carrying out its responsibilities. These failures, which damage both finances and reputations, often affect a broad range of insiders and outsiders: employees and managers, personal and corporate clients, investors, creditors and regulators. In some cases they destabilize entire sectors and economies. Worse, many of these failures are likely to plague Wall Street for years to come, until there is greater willingness to recognize and resolve the underlying problems.   The Failure of Wall Street analyzes how and why Wall Street fails, and what can be done to rectify the failures. After a short discussion of Wall Street's role in raising capital, granting corporate and personal advice, managing risk and acting as a trusted financial analyst, Erik Banks explores the dramatic failures that have occurred in each of these areas, using case studies and examples to illustrate the nature and extent of the problems. Next, the book demonstrates why Wall Street fails in each area of supposed expertise, focusing on shortcomings in governance, management, skills\/controls and transparency. Lastly, Banks proposes a framework for addressing the shortfalls that continue to plague Wall Street. He argues that these solutions, while not quick, easy, or cheap to implement, can help make Wall Street become the sound, consistent, and efficient financial expert it is meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41810322817098,"sku":"628e","price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/628e_1.jpg?v=1764182150"},{"product_id":"the-real-story-saving-and-investing-now-that-inflation-is-under-control-by-mary-holm-tore-hayward-673v","title":"The Real Story : saving and investing now that inflation is under control by Mary Holm,Tore Hayward","description":"\u003cp\u003eBibliography note: Includes bibliographical references.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41810797363274,"sku":"673v","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/Book-Express-No-Image-Main_96057c4a-13f0-4e16-a25e-2e528e8d030a.png?v=1764183293"},{"product_id":"supremacy-negotiating-real-estate-deals-by-phil-jones-dave-bradley-716af","title":"Supremacy Negotiating Real Estate Deals by Phil Jones,Dave Bradley","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmash Open this Profit Negotiations Manual and Bank MORE Dollars Today!

However, these forces, sometimes labeled 'animal spirits' or 'irrational exuberance, have remained elusive - until now. The Mystery of Market Movements provides you with a methodology to timely predict and profit from changes in human investment behaviour based on the workings of the collective unconscious.  Niklas Hageback draws in on one of psychology's most influential ideas - archetypes - to explain how they form investor's perceptions and can be predicted and turned into profit.

This is done through a step-by-step guide on how to develop a measurement methodology based on an analysis of the language of the unconscious; figurative speech such as metaphors and symbolism, drawn out and deciphered from Big Data sources, allowing for quantification into time series  The book is supplemented with an online resource that presents continuously updated bespoken archetypal indexes with predictive capabilities to major financial indexes  Investors are often unaware of the real reasons behind their own financial decisions. This book explains why psychological drivers in the collective unconscious dictates not only investment behaviour but also political, cultural and social trends.

Editorial Reviews  From the Inside Flap  Underlying the rise and collapse of the housing bubble, the dot.com upsurge and crash, and the worldwide economic climb and breakdown, are irrational impulses-from mania to panic-that play a major role in collective human investment behaviour.  The Mystery of Market Movements attempts to answer the key questions of when and why financial bubbles are likely to form by exploring the collective unconscious and its archetypes. Armed with an understanding of how archetypes drive the financial markets, investors will be able to better identify irrational behaviours and the hidden investment opportunities they create.  As financial expert Niklas Hageback explains, financial markets, with their extensive output and frequent updates of real-time data, provide fertile ground for statistical testing of the archetype hypothesis. By building a record of the appearance of archetypal symbols and analysing the frequency of their appearance versus financial indexes, it is possible to predict price trends over time.  The Mystery of Market Movements includes an empirically verified measurement methodology that is designed to capture the subliminal forces that influence human behaviour and investment decisions, in particular, and clearly demonstrates how archetypes can give rise to financial bubbles.  In clear and understandable terms, Niklas Hageback outlines the archetypal conceptual measurement methodology model and offers insight on the statistical methods used to develop and test archetypal symbol time series. He discusses the model's foundational building blocks and explores the components that constitute the measurement units. He also reveals the data sources and includes samples of how the symbol selection is conducted.  The Mystery of Market Movements is a practical guide to understanding archetypal influences. The website offers access to continuously updated indexes that will give investors the ability to track changes in archetypal mood patterns and boost their ability to make wise investment decisions.   From the Back Cover  Discover how human behaviour affects the global marketplace  Throughout history financial bubbles-that are often based on irrational human behaviour-have periodically wrought havoc on the world economic stage. Conventional economic models have failed to predict how erratic behaviour influences the marketplace.  The Mystery of Market Movements unravels the secrets of when and why financial bubbles are likely to form by exploring the influence of the collective unconscious and its archetypes. As financial expert Niklas Hageback explains, archetypes are the unconscious mental images that affect our behaviour and judgement without our being consciously aware of it.  The Mystery of Market Movements contains an introduction to Carl Jung's view of the collective unconscious and shows how archetypes activate the symbols that can be used to measure human behaviour. The author then explores how archetypes and symbols directly affect the market and outlines the groundbreaking archetypal conceptual measurement methodology model. In accessible terms, Hageback discusses the model's basic building blocks and explains the various components that comprise the measurement units. He offers information on the data sources and includes a wealth of samples of how the symbol selection is conducted.
