Review Sold Short: Uncovering Deception in the Markets / Wiley:A revealing exposé by one of today’s most controversial and successful short sellers According to a 1998 New York Times article, "Satanism has a better reputation in financial circles than does short-selling. The controversy over Mr. Asensio is reigniting the debate over short-selling and the role it plays in the stock market, a debate that stretches back to Jesse Livermore. " Manuel Asensio has taken this debate to a whole new level, not only short-selling deceptive companies but also researching and publicly exposing them. Each time Asensio practices his type of aggressive short selling he is branded "the Devil’s own Trader," but time and again his unpopular assessments have proved dead on the money. "Sold Short reads like an action-packed and gripping detective story, exposing shocking and criminal tales that make the Hollywood scandal sheets look like a high school pantomime. Asensio is a brave and heroic bullfighter who dares to go up against the global stampede of the wildest bull market. He courageously nails down, one by one, grossly overvalued and corrupt companies. [+]"–Tony Shafrazi, Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York "Sold Short is a rip-roaring ride through the netherworld of short selling. Part comedy, part tragedy, part horror flick, Asensio uncovers a world that would be ripe for sitcom portrayal where big-name fund managers dress in drag, buy silly stocks, but (and here’s the tragedy) lose millions. If short selling is up your alley, you shouldn’t miss this book. And if you’d sooner die than go short, you should read this book to make sure one of your longs isn’t made of fool’s gold. "–Parker Quillen, Quilcap Corp. Sold Short is the story of Manuel Asensio, a successful but controversial securities broker whose claim to fame is aggressive short selling-a widely disparaged (and sometimes wildly profitable) investment technique that realizes success only if stocks decline in value. Since the larger financial community is overwhelmingly comprised of long sellers who profit when prices rise, the shorts' contrarian position is always at odds and usually portrayed as an unscrupulous, backdoor attack on all things good and holy. Asensio sees it quite differently, of course, and with the help of Jack Barth, he reveals how a young boy who barely escaped Cuba before the revolution could come to be viewed as the devil incarnate by corporate honchos and Wall Street analysts whose professional paths he has crossed. After explaining how his firm uncovered some of their "grossly overvalued" companies, and what happened when he bet against them in the market, Asensio details the process so interested readers can theoretically profit from similar moves. Some of the material here is much too technical to interest casual investors, and Asensio's philosophy will still be scorned by those who don't abide it. Fellow shorts and those interested in all the machinations of the market, though, should find it an absorbing and informative read. -Howard Rothman.

Review Project Valuation Using Real Options: A Practitioner's Guide / J. Ross Publishing:"To invest or not to invest?" Business leaders frequently are faced with this question on new and ongoing projects. The challenge lies in deciding what projects to choose, expand, contract, defer, or abandon. The project valuation tools used in this process are vital to making the right decisions. Traditional tools such as discounted cash flow/net present value assume a "fixed" path ahead. But real world projects face uncertainties, forcing you to change the path often. This book introduces a more practical approach to project valuation known as real options analysis. Derived from options theory in modern finance, this approach is based on the Nobel Prize–winning work of three MIT economists. Project Valuation Using Real Options provides a systematic approach to project valuation that will enable you to minimize investment risks, exercise flexibility in decision making, and maximize returns. Key Features • Discusses why traditional valuation methods such as discounted cash flow, net present value and decision tree analysis are not sufficient in today's uncertain world • Explains the real options approach in a step-by-step manner which is easily understood and does not require an extensive financial background on the part of the reader • Shows you how to make the correct investment decisions, achieve strategic alignment of projects, increase project flexibility, and sustain competitive advantage • Presents multiple scenarios and real world examples from technology, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and other industries to illustrate success stories, challenges, and the true value of real options analysis • WAV offers free downloadable assessment tools and solutions to problems presented in the book — available from the Web Added Value™ Download Resource Center.

Review Foreign Exchange: A Practical Guide to the FX Markets (Wiley Finance) / Wiley:Praise for Foreign Exchange "Tim Weithers starts by telling the reader that foreign exchange is not difficult, just confusing, but Foreign Exchange: A Practical Guide to the FX Markets proves that money is much more exciting than anything it buys. This useful book is a whirlwind tour of the world's largest market, and the tour guide is an expert storyteller, inserting numerous fascinating insights and quirky facts throughout the book. " -John R. Taylor, Chairman, CEO and CIO, FX Concepts "The book reflects the author's doctorate from the University of Chicago, several years' experience as an economics professor, and, most recently, a very successful decade as an executive at a huge international bank. These fundamental ingredients are seasoned with bits of wisdom and experience. What results is a very tasty intellectual stew. " -Professor Jack Clark Francis, PhD, Professor of Economics and Finance, Bernard Baruch College "In this book, Tim Weithers clearly explains a very complicated subject. Foreign Exchange is full of jargon and conventions that make it very hard for non-professionals to gain a good understanding. Weither's book is a must for any student or professional who wants to learn the secrets of FX. " -Niels O. [+]Nygaard, Director of Financial Mathematics, The University of Chicago "An excellent text for students and practitioners who want to become acquainted with the arcane world of the foreign exchange market. " -David DeRosa, PhD, founder, DeRosa Research and Trading, Inc. , and Adjunct Professor of Finance, Yale School of Management "Tim Weithers provides a superb introduction to the arcana of foreign exchange markets. While primarily intended for practitioners, the book would be a valuable introduction for students with some knowledge of economics. The text is exceptionally clear with numeric examples and exercises that reinforce concepts. Frequent references are made to the economic theory behind the trading practices. " -John F. O'Connell, Professor of Economics, College of the Holy Cross.

Review Landlord Bullet Proof Lease / Bullet Proof Lease Company:To be a successful Landlord, you need a great Lease. When a troubling Tenant comes along (and one will), you need an airtight Lease that will bail you out of any jam. The Bullet Proof Lease is that Lease! Most Leases are built assuming that the Landlord and Tenant are going to have a good relationship. Not mine! My Lease is built on experiences and facts that Tenants from hell do exist and when one comes your way, the Landlord and his property will be fully protected. The Bullet Proof Lease takes the guess work and worrying out of Landlording. With my Lease in place, you will be 100% protected. The Lease is in CD form. Simply put the Lease into your computer and you can print thousands of leases from this one CD! I have designed a Lease that will back you up and then some! After repeatedly having my rear-end handed to me in the courtroom I said, "Is there anyone out there who can put together a Lease that will never fail?" The answer to that question was me! I am a Section 8 Landlord with over 300 houses so nobody has more experience in the courtroom than me and I know every single ploy that Tenants, Attorneys, and Judges use to screw you over, even if you're one hundred percent in the right. From years of horrifying experiences, I knew every loophole that the Tenant would try to jump through. I knew every piece of language in the Lease that if not written properly, the Tenant's attorney would find it and use it against me. [+]I knew every crack the pro-tenant Judges would allow my Tenants to slip through. All I had to do to design the perfect Lease was to eliminate the cracks, loopholes, and improper language. Well that is exactly what I did. I put together the first and only 100% Bullet Proof Lease! My Lease spells everything out in easy to read English, so you won't have to worry about some fancy Lawyer trying to interpret it a different way. Then, as an added bonus, I add addendums! The addendums lay it out even better then the Lease itself. Here are a couple of addendums that are included in the Lease. 1. Lead Based Paint adddendum 2. Tenant responsible for all repairs that are less than $50 3. Carpet Cleaning Addendum- Tenant responsible for all carpet cleanings. 4. Clogged Drain Addendum- Tenant agrees that when he or she took possession of the property, all drains including the main were free and clear. Tenant agrees the Landlord will not be responsible for clearing any drains or toilets. 5. Broken Window Addendum- Tenant agrees that at time of possession of home, all windows were operating correctly and were not cracked or broken. Tenant agrees that if window or windows break during their lease, whether by act of vandalism or act of nature, it is the sole responsibility of the tenant to have the window replaced within 24 hours. It is addendums like this that will not only save you time, they will also save you tons of money! If you are a Landlord like me that hates wasting money on tenant repairs, then this is your Lease. It prevents Tenants from calling you when a floorboard creeks or a lightbulb blows out and if they do, tell them to read the part in the Lease that says, "Landlord is not responsible!" Landlording is an easy game to to win if played correctly and when your opponent, which would be your tenant, has all the rules to the game taken away from them, you are going to win every time. My lease is packed with 41 terms and 14 addendums that will protect you at every turn. I think I have given you more than enough proof that the Bullet Proof Lease is the one and only Lease that you should be using. I designed it, I use it, and I stand by it! I only put my name on products that I know are capable of making life easier for Landlords. I guarantee you, you will never even think of using a generic Lease again. It's your money and your property so play by your rules, not the Tenants!.

This gem of a book will be the ETF bible for years to come.
