★★★投資必看暢銷書《超級強勢股》作者肯恩．費雪的重磅作品★★★★ ★研判市場走勢逾三十年的《富比士》雜誌專欄作家★ ★《投資顧問》雜誌評選近三十年來最具影響力人士之一★ 「台股破萬五，『史上最慘！』。」 「台灣經濟研究院下修，預估今年經濟成長率降至3.81％。」 「國債破6.1兆，國人平均負債升至26.4萬」 如果你總是依據這些種種聳動的新聞標題來解讀市場， 小心！那你可能會以為「這次不一樣」， 進而跌入恐慌情緒、做出糟糕決定， 甚至導致發畢業文就大漲、All in就大跌的恐怖後果！ 長期進行市場觀察的投資大師肯恩．費雪（Ken Fisher）指出，對市場的理解和看法，會嚴重影響你的投資結果！如果忽略歷史、忘卻教訓，在面對些許起伏的市場就容易驚慌失措，認為出現了不同以往的狀況，進而造成做出錯誤的投資決策。他建議，投資人應正確了解市場，藉由回顧歷史來做合理的推測，才能減少投資錯誤，並取得良好的獲利。 現在，就來比較一下你與投資專家看待市場的差異吧！ ◎歷史反映的八大市場真實面 （1）這次沒有不一樣。 ‧ 你以為的是：全球流行病爆發加上戰爭，電視新聞也不停的輪番播報各種不景氣，這彷彿是一種嚴重衰退的末日「新常態」。 【肯恩費雪分析】：根本沒有比較新！經濟衰退一直都在，它是經濟週期的一部分，市場雖也會對其反應，但經濟與資本市場本身具有豐富的彈性，有衰退就會有成長、有下跌就會有上漲，這是常態。如果你在此時退出市場，很可能就會錯過股神巴菲特所指的「獲利大好時機」。 （2）獲得平均報酬很困難。 ‧ 你以為的是：最近股票上漲的趨勢比過去平均值多太多了，其報酬率也比以往平均來得多，你害怕隨時有摔落下跌的風險，所以你決定等待，想等到市場表現得「正常」時再進行投資。 【肯恩費雪分析】：市場與報酬率是極端多變的。各種平均值只是將一段時間的資料計算而來，其中可能包括大幅漲跌或小幅漲跌，因此平均值只能當作一種相對的參考數值。此外，若想達到平均報酬，最好的方法就是買進、持有並堅持的指數化被動投資。 （3）股市沒有變得更不穩定。 ‧ 你以為的是：現在的股市波動愈來愈大，一下上漲了500點、一下又下跌了600點，就像在坐雲霄飛車，變得比過去更加難以掌握。 【肯恩費雪分析】：市場本來就會有波動，且波動對股市來說是好的，有波動才有現金流，也因波動有風險才更能有高報酬，反之，低波動性就像是銀行少少的存款利息。投資人應該做的是，不要過度關注波動，並且讓自己習慣並冷靜看待波動。 （4）長期熊市不存在。 ‧ 你以為的是：股市跌跌不休，這次大砍數千點，媒體也天天報導各種股市負面消息，因此「這次」一定是個不同以往的空頭市場。 【肯恩費雪分析】：在過去資料中長期熊市很少出現，而且在更長的歷史中，股市空頭市場的虧損後來都會被更大的多頭市場所補償。因此，如果你是一個理性分散風險的長期投資者，你就不應該過度關注下跌的年份，畢竟貿然在空頭市場時退出會讓再入多頭市場的成本增加。 （5）政府債務不會拖垮經濟。 ‧ 你以為的是：政府公布了今年的國債資料，比去年增加了5%，每個人的平均負債也增加好幾萬，肯定會開始拖累經濟、造成股市下跌。 【肯恩費雪分析】：歷史顯示，政府債務對股市有利，而盈餘則對股市不利。因為政府債務的生成來自於政策花費的需求，進而產生金錢流動帶動市場，成為股市好報酬的訊號。債務的多寡也不是重點，重要的是政府償還債務的能力，能負擔的起就不會影響股市和經濟。 （6）沒有永遠最好的投資類別。 ‧ 你以為的是：金融股在近幾年股市大盤下跌期間依然很穩定，而且過去的績效表現也不差，只要長期投資這種股票就一定穩賺不賠。 【肯恩費雪分析】：大錯特錯！市場上的優勢股會交替，受到大環境的供需影響，就像是能源股、科技股一樣曾經大起大落。若相信某種類別的個股是最好的，很可能只是在追逐熱潮而已，你無法知道未來的股票供需狀況，因此即使目前看起來安全，也不能保證未來一定能獲利。 （7）不同政黨對經濟與市場的影響都一樣。 ‧ 你以為的是：某政黨在近期的大選中勝出，他們和某商業人士比較要好，能帶給他們的公司利多，所以最近的股票市場一定會大漲。 【肯恩費雪分析】：用特殊的意識形態來解讀市場，其實是一種偏見的認知，各個政黨在掌握大權之後，為了取得更多選民支持和繼續獲得連任，他們都會去討好握有大量資金的商業人士，因此對於市場來說，其實不論哪一政黨占優勢影響都一樣。 （8）世界一直都相當全球化。 ‧ 你以為的是：要跨國投資美國股市風險太大，買台灣股票就夠了，而且操作台股只要了解好台灣的行情與局面，就能輕易掌握市場。 【肯恩費雪分析】：市場是全球化的，美國股市會影響台灣股市，許多產業鏈也是全球息息相關，往往是牽一髮而動全身。投資人應該選擇全球化投資商品來進行的風險分散，或者更簡單的選擇追蹤全球化指數的產品，並且保持被動投資。 ◎了解市場後，為什麼你還是無法獲利？ 因為除了正確解讀市場，心理與情緒更是影響投資的重要因素。投資人通常對市場會出現的以下兩種心魔，招致虧損： 第一種心魔【投資懼高症】：當股價到達某個高點時，投資人就會開始擔心股價隨時可能會「摔落」帶來虧損。 第二種心魔【下跌就離場】：當預期未來股價可能會下跌，投資人容易因害怕會有損失而先行撤離市場。 為克服這兩種心魔，長期進行主動投資的肯恩‧費雪的解方是，應用指數化投資的被動策略。他建議，對於市場恐懼，與其試圖擇時進出市場，不如長期以指數投資買入並持有的方式，至少能獲得大盤平均的報酬。 投資是一場機率遊戲，沒有人能做出百分百正確的預測。 跟著肯恩．費雪透過歷史觀察市場，不是將歷史當作預測未來的工具，而是透過歷史基礎來了解市場，進而建立適當的投資行動，才有合理的機率獲得更好的績效。 本書特色 1. 以歷史新聞、相關統計資訊圖表提供佐證。 2. 幫助投資人正確了解市場，打破錯誤的投資記憶，並建立獲利關鍵。 名人推薦 99啪／「99啪的財經筆記」版主 Jet Lee／「Jet Lee的投資隨筆部落格」版主 竹軒／「竹軒的理財筆記」版主 林大仁／「淺談保險觀念」粉專版主 麥克風／「麥克風的市場求生手冊」版主 陳喬泓／「陳喬泓投資法則」版主 雷浩斯／價值投資者、財經作家 楊斯棓／《人生路引》作者、醫師 綠角／財經作家

Todo el mundo sabe que una moneda fuerte equivale a una economía sólida, que los bonos son más seguros que las acciones, que las acciones son cada vez más volátiles y que las órdenes de stop loss son una táctica inteligente para ahorrar dinero. ¿O no? Estos son sólo algunos de los mitos del mercado que mucha gente cree a pies juntillas, aunque no sean necesariamente ciertos, y que Ken Fisher y Lara Hoffmans desmontan en este inteligente e ilustrativo libro, en el que analizan algunas de las creencias más comunes —y letales— por las que apuestan los inversores. Y demuestra por qué, a la hora de invertir, sumarse a la estrategia general puede impedir que alcances tus objetivos a largo plazo. Los autores revisan una tras otra todas las creencias comúnmente aceptadas y las estrategias «de éxito asegurado», y explican los motivos de su persistencia, por qué no funcionan y lo perjudiciales que pueden llegar a ser para tu solidez financiera. Pero el libro es mucho más que un simple listado de mitos y cada capítulo constituye también un manual para que tú mismo apliques estrategias «desmitificadoras». Tanto si eres un inversor veterano como uno inexperto, este libro te aporta valiosas ideas que te ayudarán a identificar algunos errores importantes que quizá estés cometiendo, a ver el mundo de la inversión con mayor claridad y a mejorar así los resultados de tu inversión. Divertido, perspicaz, a veces irreverente, El pequeño libro de los mitos del mercado es una prueba fehaciente de que, como afirma el antiguo dicho, «la verdad os hará libres» a la hora de hacer posibles tus objetivos de inversión a largo plazo.

100 - Ihr Alter = die optimale Aktienquote eines Portfolios Eine bequeme Faustregel, leicht umzusetzen. Aber ist mit einer solch pauschalen Regel tatsächlich gewährleistet, dass Anleger ihre Ziele erreichen? Oder besteht dabei das Risiko, unterdurchschnittliche Renditen einzufahren? Es hilft nichts: Wer sich ernsthaft mit Geldanlage auseinandersetzen will, muss tiefer graben und darf sich nicht auf "bewährte" Wahrheiten verlassen. Ken Fisher und Lara Hoffmans klopfen einige der gängigsten Börsen-Mythen auf ihre Praxis- tauglichkeit ab und stellen fest: Sie sind genau das: Mythen – die Anlegern schweren Schaden zufügen können.

I have been making chili for over 45 years now with little or no measuring.I guess you could call it a dump Chili thus the name Chuck Wagon. In the 6 recipes here, I''ll be using both leftover and fresh meat that I cut into large chunks. All of our recipes have step by step pictures to show you just how "Easy" they are to make these chilis on your grill. I was torn between doing original Chili which I will give you some history on or just a plain good Chili that is more common today. The first recorded recipes for chili date back to the 1800''s with the Chili Queens of San Antonio. Chili con Carne translates into peppers and meat. Chili then was made by the poorest of the poor who had little or nothing in which to make their Chili. They used the toughest meats and whatever peppers and seasonings they could find. Chili in the 1800''s contained no tomatoes for that time in history they were considered poisonous. My chili is close to that long-ago recipe. But not quite as I use a lot of peppers and I added little tomato and lots of garlic. Chili Con Carne is often known simply as chili. The name chili con carne is a slight corruption of the Spanish language chili con carne, which means chili (peppers) with meat. The essential ingredients are meat and chili pepper. That''s it.... There is no right or wrong way to make chili. Keep in mind that it''s history is that it was made by the poorest or the poor using what ever they had.You''ll hear folks yelling about "You can''t add beans to Real Chili" or "Real Chili has beans".There is "No Chili Police".The beauty of chili is that you can make it how ever you like it!Chili is like salsa, everybody''s grandmother has her own recipe that they think is the best they''ve had...It''s just chili, you can''t hurt it....

Breaking the chains of a psychopath and a Sociopath is a book aimed at helping people recover from the terrible, horrific emotional and psychological turmoil that a Psychopathic/ Sociopathic abuse situation may have brought in their lives. It will help readers understand and process the experience and move on. Revenge on the abuser is impossible as well as unhealthy. You should concentrate on looking after yourself. Once you have honestly and objectively realized and identified that you are dealing with a Psychopath or Sociopath (whether in a relationship, at work, in a committee/organization or even in your own family) you must walk away from them and leave them for good. You should never be concerned about hurting them because psychopaths cannot be ''hurt''. To them, you are nothing but an object. If a Psychopath/Sociopath walks away from you, then his book will show you how to heal from it. If you are mourning ''the good old days'', remember that what you think you are missing is not the person but the persona. Once established, and your deluded sense of missing the psychopath has passed, something truly remarkable occurs: the target turns the tables and the ''hunted thus becomes the hunter''. The beauty of this book is that it will show you how victims can use the fantastic tool of No Contact Ever Again of personal and emotional liberation without doing anything much. This book is so empowering. It is a must read for everyone.

The most important thing is that you are learning to cope with and accept who you are as a highly sensitive person. Do not turn to medications and treatments for your "condition" simply because of daily inconveniences you may encounter. No matter how much medical professionals love to go around with a prescription pad curing everything with a pill, some things are not curable. It is not even a disease in the first place. Remember, your sensitivity is a trait that makes you who you are. It gives you many gifts, and there is no reason to see it as something that actually needs medical treatment.However, highly sensitive people that have a lot of stress in their lives may find themselves in a crisis more than once. I have been there myself experiencing jittery movements, a racing heart, a sweaty face, shaky palms, chest pain, blurring vision, heavy and fast breathing; which almost make you feel as if you''re going to die. This is a panic attack and for those especially who are sensitive to stress, it is definitely not an uncommon occurrence. If this type of predicament is causing you debilitating problems with your family life and/or at work, then it may be appropriate to consider some type of treatment. However, remember that the treatment is for a better handling of your anxiety issues and to help you to quickly calm down in a crisis situation. Counseling may be a good way to help you learn to cope with stress as well as many of the skills we discussed earlier when dealing with stimulation. If you find yourself often in crisis, something may be prescribed to you for anxiety. Note that these should be aimed at getting you out of a crisis, not for long-term treatments for some kind of mental "condition". There are many natural things that can be taken for this as well as prescription drugs such as Valium and Xanax. This is where an open line of communication with an understanding licensed physician is crucial to help determine what is best for you.In this book, you will find out more about what it means to have your specific personality type. You will also discover tips for navigating a relationship either as or with a person who is highly sensitive. Everything does not have to feel like such a struggle. You can have powerful, immediate results from processes that are relatively simple. The better you understand yourself, the more you can thrive in life. Realizing that you are highly sensitive and learning how to embrace rather than struggle against it will open up new doors for you in life.

Sociopath and Psychopath: The Worst of both worlds - How to detect, avoid, and counter-attack their behavior How about other friends and associates? Have you been introduced to their family? Perhaps you can''t understand why someone who is so lovely and charming and who you consider to be a wonderful human being, has such few friends. Maybe this is because the ones that came before you have already experienced their other side. If you question this, you will discover that sociopaths are natural liars. You''ll be told how terribly wrong their previous partner treated them, or how their entire family was taken out in a single tragic accident, and that''s why they are alone. There are ways to independently investigate such grandiose claims. If you''re suspicious, do not take anything at face value. Along with a similar line, watch out for anyone who tries to isolate you from your own friends and support groups. Sociopaths like to remove you from any other support so that you don''t have the ability to pull back or have someone else removed from such situation, or even point out to you just how strange your new boyfriend is. Despite how glib and charming they may first appear, sociopaths are actually often socially immature when it comes to the core of it. They can be extremely selfish and needy, to the point of obsession. If you''ve confirmed that someone you know is a sociopath, then it''s best to simply avoid that individual as much as possible. If that person is in one of the regular circles you travel daily, for example, a co-worker or friends with your other friends, then it may not be possible to avoid them completely. However, this does not mean that you should display hostility towards such an individual when you do have to deal with them or more-so, tell them that you think they are a sociopath. This can actually put you in a dangerous position, and make the sociopath even more determined to ''win'' you over because this is instant gratification for him. Simply divert the discussion where possible, or refuse to engage beyond simple replies to direct questions only.
