  • Community Banking Strategies ISBN
    Community Banking Strategies ISBN: 9781576603697 Price: RM 191.80 In this book, Vincent Boberski teaches community banks how to compete against the big guys in a post- subprime world. He offers advice on portfolio management, balance sheet management, and management of interest rate and credit cycles, among other key topics. Boberski also offers salient counsel on the most essential piece of the banking business: focus on increasing core deposits, the heart of any good local bank, by establishing and encouraging lasting relationships with clients. This is a must-read for community bank executives, directors, investors, and the brokers that work with them. Paper Money Collapse ISBN: 9781118095751 Price: RM112.00 Release Date: September 2011 All paper money systems in history have ended in failure. Either they collapsed in chaos, or society returned to commodity money before that could happen. Drawing upon novel new research, Paper Money Collapse conclusively illustrates why paper money systems—those based on an elastic and constantly expanding supply of money as opposed to a system of commodity money of essentially fixed supply—are inherently unstable and why they must lead to economic disintegration. These highly controversial conclusions clash with the present consensus, which holds that elastic state money is superior to inflexible commodity money (such as a gold standard), and that expanding money is harmless or even beneficial for as long as inflation stays low. This compelling new book looks at the breakdown of modern economic theory and the fallacy of mathematical models. It is an analysis of the current financial crisis and shows in very stark terms that the solutions presented by paper money-enthusiasts around the world are misguided and inherently flawed.

Written by Maneet Ahuja, the hedge fund industry insider, The Alpha Masters brings the secretive world of hedge funds into the light of day for the first time. As the authority that the biggest names in the business, including John Paulson, David Tepper, and Bill Ackman, go to before breaking major news, Ahuja has access to the innermost workings of the hedge fund industry.
