In this fascinating book Richard Farleigh reveals the investing strategies that have taken him
from a modest start in Australia to being one of Europe's most influential entrepreneurs and
a resident of high-rolling Monaco. The knowledge and wisdom gained along the way ?from
managing the Sydney trading desk at Bankers Trust and his time heading up a powerful
hedge fund in Bermuda ?is invaluable for all investors, regardless of expertise. Farleigh
takes you step by step through the 100 strategies he has developed to enable consistent
success in the markets. His methodology is based on disciplined observation and reasoning
and has enabled him to outperform the market on a regular basis. The (sometimes
controversial) beliefs that he incorporates into his strategies include: * Markets tend to
underreact, not overreact. * Big, obvious ideas offer great opportunities. * It is safe to invest
with a consensus view. * Contrarian trading is usually irrational. * It is best to enter and exit
the sharemarket at the right times instead of always staying invested. * Price trends are well
known but underutilised. * Chartists are just astrologers. * Investment and trading are
increasingly similar.
