Book Description

New chapter by Soros on the secrets to his success along with a new Preface and Introduction. New Foreword by renowned economist Paul Volcker "An extraordinary ... inside look into the decision-making process of the most successful money manager of our time. Fantastic." - "The Wall Street Journal". George Soros is unquestionably one of the most powerful and profitable investors in the world today. Dubbed by "BusinessWeek" as "the Man who Moves Markets," Soros made a fortune competing with the British pound and remains active today in the global financial community. Now, in this special edition of the classic investment book, "The Alchemy of Finance", Soros presents a theoretical and practical account of current financial trends and a new paradigm by which to understand the financial market today. This edition's expanded and revised Introduction details Soros's innovative investment practices along with his views of the world and world order. He also describes a new paradigm for the "theory of reflexivity" which underlies his unique investment strategies. Filled with expert advice and valuable business lessons, "The Alchemy of Finance" reveals the timeless principles of an investing legend. This special edition will feature a new chapter by Soros on the secrets of his success and a new Foreword by the Honorable Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve. George Soros (New York, NY) is President of Soros Fund Management and Chief Investment Advisor to Quantum Fund N.V., a GTB 12 billion international investment fund. Besides his numerous ventures in finance, Soros is also extremely active in the worlds of education, culture, and economic aid and development through his Open Society Fund and the Soros Foundation.

乔治・索罗斯也许是有史以来知名度最高和最具传奇色彩的金融大师。1993年,他利用欧洲各国在统一汇率机制问题上步调不一致的失误,发动了抛售英镑的投机风潮,迫使具有300年历史的英格兰银行(英国中央银行)认亏出场。1997年2月,他旗下的投资基金在国际货币市场上大量抛售泰铢,这一行动被视为是牵连极广、至今尚未平息的东南亚金融危机的开端。当然,索罗斯也并非无往而不胜。在1987年美国股灾中,索罗斯亏损4~6亿美元,而他在1998年俄罗斯金融危机中的亏损更高达30亿美元之巨。尽管如此,他所经营的量子基金并未因损失惨重而清盘,索罗斯也一如既往地在纽约中央公园旁的办公室里评判市场,不断发表令市场为之震颤的独家观点。

用户评论
没上大学以前看的 没看懂 以后要再看
这个必须读很多遍。
真的只能用伟大来形容,恐怕是逻辑哲学论后对我影响最大的书了
为什么首页里写道 To Susan: without whom this book would have been ready much sooner,我英语有那么差么?
由于相关背景知识的缺乏,国际金融部分的案例讲析懵懵懂懂。总体来说比较艰涩的一本书,但理论核心并不复杂,有点投机事业的哲学性原则的意味。值得学习。待学习了国际金融相关知识后可再复习。
极少有人会自称Soros的门徒,他的投资方式需要无限循环的trial and error,没有超人的智力和精力无法支撑。 除了reflexivity之外,关于87' market crash和European disintegration的论述也值得一看,其他部分写得过于晦涩了。
when psychological theory should explain the psychological processes of psychologists…
必须要说索罗斯在real time experiment部分的note充分体现了一线投机者应有的状态,面对不确定的未来,跟随市场动态修正自己的理解。对国际经济和金融体系的理解运用反身性理论来跟踪Reagen’s imperial cycle的发展,虽然受限于实际交易的复杂显得零乱,但这也充分说明了交易的复杂性,远非任何理论可以概括,所以老师说直觉是很可以依赖的。去年物理诺贝尔得主研究的复杂系统,有人希望可以用来研究经济体系,我觉得可能远不如直觉或者简单的反身性理论来得靠谱。
难得明白人写书
