I have read several books regarding the stock market, charting and so forth that pretty much left much to be desired. And after the stock market fiasco of 2000 – 2001 where virtually everyone’s equity evaporated, many people were left asking themselves, what happened? George Dagnino’s book explains the concepts of the business cycle and how all economic factors correlate together. It gives you a clear outlook on how to anticipate market trends, keep an eye on indicators and protect your investment.Overall, probably THE best book I have ever read on the economy and the stock market.

Like most of the small handful of great investment books, not many know about this one but that is their loss. If you want to find the best investment books, stay away from the Cramer series and the ones that are top sellers because they are the same song and dance and do not teach you any skills. Another peice of advice is to steer clear of investment books written by professors since they have no real experience managing assets.
Dagnino’s book is one of the very best and it is essential if you want a chance to become a great investor. Make no mistake though, following Dagnino’s approach will not in itself lead you to riches. It is just one of many skills you must acquire in the long and very difficult process of becoming a good and then great investor.
I am an investment professional and this book is a critical read for novices and pros alike. You had better get this book now, because I do believe it is out of print and only inventory remains.

I’ve been doing survey reading in investing (including Jim Cramer’s new book, Sane Investing…, which is an enjoyable, informative read) because I want to take better control over my finances–even if you hand your money over to a professional, you owe it to yourself to be able to judge the performance of your portfolio and understand your investment risk in any market. Accordingly, you need a proper understanding of financial markets and economic cycles, and more importantly, how the two interrelate. If I had to recommend only ONE book, it would be this one. It is terrific: well written, informative and designed to make you a more knowledgeable (and consequently a more profitable)investor. You will not be disappointed. For me, it put all of the pieces together. And if you like the book, be sure to visit George’s website, Peterdag.com. (I’m not affiliated at all, but became a subscriber to George’s service after swooning over the book.)

bear market
Definition
A prolonged period in which investment prices fall, accompanied by widespread pessimism. If the period of falling stock prices is short and immediately follows a period of rising stock prices, it is instead called a correction. Bear markets usually occur when the economy is in a recession and unemployment is high, or when inflation is rising quickly. The most famous bear market in U.S. history was the Great Depression of the 1930s. The term “bear” has been used in a financial context since at least the early 18th century. While its origins are unclear, the term may have originated from traders who sold bear skins with the expectations that prices would fall in the future. opposite of bull market.

A slow market with declining prices and a pessimistic outlook.
The expression refers to an overall decrease in market prices, usually for an extended period of time.
It was made unofficial that a broad index (such as Dow Jones or S&P500) is considered to be in a bear market when they lose more 20% of their value from their peak.
So if you take Dow Jones for example, it is today very close to be losing 20% from it’s october highs. It is more or less official to be in a bear market, which may coincides with an economic recession.
Bear Market is when investors pull out their money on stocks and causes a panic then stocks falls e.i Dow Jones might be on the Bear Market today
On the radio this morning, the money portion of the news said that a bear market is when the stock market is more than 20% off of it’s high point.
A bear market is a prolonged period in the stock market when the prices of stocks are declining. Sometimes the overall economy stinks, sometimes interest rates are rising, and sometimes stocks just got to be too high and needed to correct to lower prices. Usually, when the market falls 20% from its high it is considered to be a bear market. In the US, the last bear market was from August 2000 through October 2002, when the S+P 500 index of big stocks fell by about 42%. Nasty!
Standard definition is, when the overall market (like the Dow 30) is off 10% from a recent high that would be considered a correction. Down 20% or more would be considered a bear market.
There won’t be any inflation until the US spends about another 2 trillion dollars. Healthcare a trillion and a trillion to send manned missions to Mars and Saturn, and another trillion rebuilding FDRs infrastructure. Until then its going to be a long sideways. A prediction’s only good as the natural laws it promotes. Otherwise its just a simple system of ‘beliefs’, not analysis.. And that’s what the Constuitition protects us from .
Its a typical fake boom bust. The economy continues to go into a depressed state, manufacturing way down falling off a cliff, unemployment soaring, inflation just starting to hit, and will definately hit worse. These booms are caued by the Fed “increasing liquidity” aka printing and then injecting inflation into by incresing the money supply, causing a superficial boom bust that gets you back to square one with no real capital created at all, but investment taken away from productive sectors.
Well, this bear market rally is truly about to stop.
This “bear market rally” just keeps on chugging along. It’s disgusting to see what they are getting away with and it won’t end well, but for a little while, they are going to pretend things are fine. How long this fake boom will last is an open question, but I can’t imagine them pulling this scam for longer than a few months…..
It’s time to brush up on vilderness survival skills.
same bear market rally?
masters of the universe lol. Good analogy.
the majority of people believe we are going to recover and say i don’t watch the news. nor do they seek out or are aware of anything going on in this country. its sad because the average person doesnt want to know the truth.
sugmad72, many people think that minumum wage is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and that “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is in the Constitution. It’s pretty sad.
MoT, don’t worry! The average Joe has been getting screwed by his own government for decades now. Why, if our politicians weren’t screwing me, I don’t know what I would do. It would feel weird.
The broken clock is right twice a day.
It’s like; we’re giving an enema to a dead corpse!
I think you could do a very good video about GB. I had heard that he left CNN? and gone somewhere else and I feared he was going to get muzzeled and watered down. Quite the opposite has happened. My opinion of Fox News is changing quickly.
people need to look at the quotes of the founding fathers , if they think we are crazy
they knew about the bankers, thats why they came here , to escape them , but they finally got to us in 1913, tell that to sheeple who think your crazy, this shits been goign on for hundreds of years
It seems like the media is presenting that the economy is starting to show signs of improvement and is moving in a positive direction.. just so strange
What a bummer….thanks for making me feel like crap today. lol
MOT, I ask you. How are we ever going to get out from underneath this debt, without a trade surplus. The way I see it people on island A exchange goods and services. On the way home, they stop by the store and buy products they need made by people on isand B. People on island B exchange goods and services, and use natural resources to produce goods being sold to people on island A. Island A starts to run out of money, so the government of island A must create money(debt). Am I crazy?
The american public has been getting screwed since the late 60s when we first started running a trade deficit. That sucking sound you hear when you go outside is all the money leaving our country headed for China, Japan, Mexico, because that’s where we’ve allowed the products we’re buying to be made.
Fact , 1967: median household income 38000, median house cost 20000, camaro in garage cost 2600.
2007 median household income 50300, median house cost 220000, camaro in garage cost 22000.
Our congress should be lined up and shot honestly, we need to outlaw franchising and bring all forigne jobs home. We need to stop transfering wealth to china for peices of plastic to fill a gumball machine. We need to break our union and give power back to the states. we need to go back to the gold standard. We need to take care of our parents and not rely on a retierment leach program. we need more farmers here not overseas. We need church back in school. the list gos on and on americas spoild.
Funny you say that I think the same thing. I have tryed to talk to some of my friends. but all I get is a resounding MEH!
This is a suckers rally. It really makes me sad to see people falling for the same old tricks.
This up side market is by design by the elite. They can and will completely collapse the market put a freeze on all USA money til they can set in place and change over to a global currency. for every one dollar US you have you will get at most .70 cents worth of the new Global currency. Look for this currency to also not be printed but in card form so they can track everyone’s spending. Seek the truth about God for Jesus Christ is your only hope as this world as you know it will pass away.
what do you do for a living? ….are you in the stock market?
Of course this is a bear market rally, or it is a cyclical bull in a secular Bear. The time this whole economy could take to fully unravel will be as astounding as the depth it will go. We’re just in for a little updraft for a few weeks or even months – but don’t get caught. The glider will head down again soon enough!
Thank you MOT
