Synopsis:
In his first book, Lane Mendelsohn, Founder of TraderPlanet.com, cuts through the hype surrounding the current economic climate and drills down into the facts, revealing what traders can do to not only survive, but thrive in today’s challenging markets.
With thorough examinations of past boom-and-bust cycles, Mendelsohn clearly explains the events that came together to create the perfect storm of economic crisis that we are experiencing now. From the fear and greed on Wall Street to the bursting of the real estate bubble; from the liquidity crisis to the consumer and business credit crunch, readers will gain an understanding of the recession—so that they can set up and prepare for the recovery.
Mendelsohn even takes it a step further just for traders, laying out guidelines for strategy development, potential investment opportunities, and specific investment tools that will help them manage this recession and the subsequent recovery.
