Hedger's Diary. Barton Biggs

Hedging is one of the most common techniques for reducing risks in the stock market.

It is hedging that makes stock trading less risky, and traders who actively use it in their work are called Hedgers.

From this it becomes clear why Barton Biggs called his book about stock trading “The Diary of a Hedgehog.”

I would like to immediately note that this publication is more a collection of recommendations for a professional investor than a textbook for a novice trader.

Thanks to the textbook, you will be able to learn how to correctly assess the state of the economy, understand what crises are based on and learn to predict them.

This textbook is dedicated exclusively to trading in the stock market; if you need knowledge about Forex, it is better to choose another book in the “Forex Books” section.

The author himself is familiar with stock trading firsthand; his view of the situation is based on personal experience in managing investments in his own Hedge fund.

If we briefly describe the contents of the book, we can highlight the following points:

1. Events of 2010 – changes in tax policy, trends in the stock market, panic and recovery of trends. What is the job of an analyst?

2. Events of 2011 – assessment of the situation that developed on the stock market at the beginning of the year. The impact of natural disasters on the price of individual stocks. The situation in Japan and China.

3. Events of 2012 – US macroeconomic statistics, the situation around shares of startups, social networks and high-tech companies. High oil prices are the cause of a possible crisis.

The book allows you to learn to better understand what is happening in the stock market, to understand the connection between the economy and securities prices. The author is an internationally recognized expert in the field of finance, who managed to earn more than one million in the stock market.
