Market Volatility

Rating:
Summary: Nice one but.......
Review: I am a futures trader/ stock investor/ produce distributor. My constant involvement in markets of one kind or another led me to develop a deep desire to understand volatility. Unfortunately the only books I could find dealt with option volatility. "Market Volatility" has been THE best book dealing with market mechanics that I have ever read. I recommend the book as a "must have" to my friends in the industry.

Review: It is a nice book.But for me,I love Shleifer's "Inefficient market" more.This book focus on the Divident-to-price ratio and use it for the analysis of the market volatility.The writer does give us some insight about the market.But I doubt if it could stand for a long... since the market is changing all the time.

Summary: Too much academic
Review: It is not a matter of like or dislike here.
I did really enjoyed of the same author - "Irrational exuberance", finding its conclusions very well argumented and the exposition clear and easy.
Here we have only a kind of "laboratory" with a collection of articles about hypotesys testing: very specific, many formulas,use of advanced math but NO DEFINITIVE CONCLUSION.Not even the thesys about market efficiency has been clearly attacked.
If the thesys lacks, you cannot either form a judgement and agree or refuse conclusions.

I love reading and discussing: if you happen to have ideas different from mine - or whatever - feel free to write me.

Summary: An Academic with a brain!
Review: Shiller does to the Effecient Market Theory what Columbus did to the flat earth theory. This is one of the finest books on markets I have read, and I have read hundreds.
