The Age of Anomaly: Spotting Financial Storms in a Sea of Uncertainty


Andrei Polgar - 2017
    You’re probably reading this because, well, you feel the same way.Perhaps you’re worried about one specific scenario (the death of the banking system, hyperinflation or something else) but then again, maybe you’re not able to identify specific threats. Instead, you just feel “something” is wrong. You feel it deep down inside and it haunts you.Rightfully so, in my opinion!The Age of Anomaly is here to provide much-needed clarity. My name is Andrei Polgar but a lot of you might know me as “the One Minute Economics guy on YouTube” and I’ve never been an economist who desperately wants to sound intelligent.Instead, through my work, I’ve had one goal and one goal only: making economics easy to understand, something traditional education has failed at remarkably. As time passes, my work is featured in more and more universities all over the world. Students love it, people who already graduated feel the same way and even those who aren’t necessarily interested in economics become fascinated by this often misunderstood but amazing field.Why do people like what I do?For one simple reason: because it works.Through The Age of Anomaly, I’ve made it clear that understanding financial calamities and being prepared doesn’t have to involve rocket science. Anyone can do it and frankly, everyone should do it.I’ve provided a “from A to Z” perspective by:1) Analyzing quite a few hand-picked economic calamities of the past, from the tulip mania to the Great Depression, the Great Recession and even case studies pretty much nobody heard of such as the short domain mania of 2015-20162) Drawing parallels and finding common denominators so as to provide tips that help readers become better and better at spotting financial storms3) Explaining that becoming better at spotting financial storms is just not enough. Even I may very well end up being caught off-guard by the next crash and as such, it makes sense to dedicate just at much energy to becoming more resilient in general so as to better withstand anything life throws your wayBy becoming good at spotting financial storms as well as resilient, you’ll be multiple orders of magnitude (and I consider even this the understatement of the century) better off than the average individual, who blissfully chooses to live in a bubble of ignorance!

#CASHTAGS: How Anyone Can Get Started in the Stock Market and Level Up as a Power Trader


Vishal Malkan - 2018

Too many traders get caught up in complex trading methods taught by various authors and trainers, much of which is mumbo-jumbo not easily understood by common investors. Frankly, there is too much information out there, from too many sources, and laymen will find it hard to glean the right advice from the right place at the right time. Above all comes the skill to control one's emotions in the face of volatility, which makes it all the more difficult to stick to one's trading plan. In #CASHTAGS, a simple yet informative book, you will find simple solutions to these problems. It begins by breaking all myths about the stock market, addressing harmful beliefs about trading that may have been formed over the years, as well as providing the solutions to deal with them. Explanations are offered as to how to adopt stock trading as a business/profession, and you will find a helpful, step-by-step framework so you can begin trading smartly. Learn how fundamental and technical analysis work and why the latter is better suited to a layman than the former. With a focus on simplicity, the authors explain how to get started with technical analysis by illustrating simple technical methods anyone can easily understand and apply. Most importantly, the book deals with handling emotions in the trading industry and lists simple, objective rules for buying and selling. There is also an emphasis on maintaining proper risk management in trading, as well as a simple risk management formula that will make all the difference in your trading performance.
