Make trades on vertical options spreads with the precision of a laser beam Vertical Options Spreads is a combination of a bona-fide academic research-based study and a complete method to trade credit and debit spreads, along with other complex option combination trades such as iron condors and butterflies. Here, the author has accumulated five years of daily data on the ETF, SPY and provided historical evidence of actual win rates at specific multiples of entry points, both in time and price level. For example, traders will be able to use the weekly options, pick a level of risk and return desired, learn how to place the trade, and then discover the actual percent return that the trade would have yielded. This must-have resource includes the basics of option trading and contains references to many excellent works by other authors that explore more about the intricacies of option mechanics and trading. It is far more than an analysis of one specific asset, SPY, featuring a study of probability theory and how it has applied to trading over the past five years, including the highly volatile 2007 to 2009 time frame and the more «normal» 2010 to 2012 time period. The book offer a thorough understanding of how price movement, actual volatility, and implied volatility all provide a complex but workable web in which the informed trader can generate excellent returns. However, the trader must have the discipline to act within the confines of probability and the «law» of large numbers refusing to place trades based on gut feelings or hunches. Offers high-probability based trading that uses the new weekly options Contains handy interactive worksheets that allow traders to select their own risk/return with precision Includes a website with daily and weekly information on the estimate of the actual standard deviation points on the price spectrum Vertical Options Spreads offers traders a research-based guide for trading Standard & Poors 500 ETF, SPY using historic and estimated probabilities and returns that will give them an edge in the marketplace.

Viele Geschichten, ja Legenden umranken das Leben von Veza Canetti. Im Zentrum steht dabei meist nicht die Dichterin, sondern ihre Rolle im Leben des viel ber?hmteren Ehemannes Elias Canetti, dem Literaturnobelpreistr?ger von 1981. Die erstmalige Erschliessung der Netzwerke von Veza Canetti ergibt eine neue, bislang unbekannte Perspektive auf Leben und Werk der Autorin. Nicht nur hat sie schon vor ihrer Zeit mit Elias Canetti nachweislich in vielen K?nstler-, Dichter- und Politikerkreisen Wiens verkehrt, sondern sie war auch in Wien und London als ?bersetzerin, Lektorin, Englischlehrerin, Literaturagentin und Ghostwriterin t?tig. Der Verlust der Heimat, Flucht und Exil haben Veza Canetti weniger zugesetzt als der Tod von engen Freunden und Verwandten w?hrend oder kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Als kleine Sensation kann gewertet werden, dass sie offenbar schon in den zwanziger Jahren Erfolge als Dichterin feiern konnte.

In Volatility and Correlation 2nd edition: The Perfect Hedger and the Fox, Rebonato looks at derivatives pricing from the angle of volatility and correlation. With both practical and theoretical applications, this is a thorough update of the highly successful Volatility & Correlation – with over 80% new or fully reworked material and is a must have both for practitioners and for students. The new and updated material includes a critical examination of the ‘perfect-replication’ approach to derivatives pricing, with special attention given to exotic options; a thorough analysis of the role of quadratic variation in derivatives pricing and hedging; a discussion of the informational efficiency of markets in commonly-used calibration and hedging practices. Treatment of new models including Variance Gamma, displaced diffusion, stochastic volatility for interest-rate smiles and equity/FX options. The book is split into four parts. Part I deals with a Black world without smiles, sets out the author’s ‘philosophical’ approach and covers deterministic volatility. Part II looks at smiles in equity and FX worlds. It begins with a review of relevant empirical information about smiles, and provides coverage of local-stochastic-volatility, general-stochastic-volatility, jump-diffusion and Variance-Gamma processes. Part II concludes with an important chapter that discusses if and to what extent one can dispense with an explicit specification of a model, and can directly prescribe the dynamics of the smile surface. Part III focusses on interest rates when the volatility is deterministic. Part IV extends this setting in order to account for smiles in a financially motivated and computationally tractable manner. In this final part the author deals with CEV processes, with diffusive stochastic volatility and with Markov-chain processes. Praise for the First Edition: “In this book, Dr Rebonato brings his penetrating eye to bear on option pricing and hedging.… The book is a must-read for those who already know the basics of options and are looking for an edge in applying the more sophisticated approaches that have recently been developed.” —Professor Ian Cooper, London Business School “Volatility and correlation are at the very core of all option pricing and hedging. In this book, Riccardo Rebonato presents the subject in his characteristically elegant and simple fashion…A rare combination of intellectual insight and practical common sense.” —Anthony Neuberger, London Business School

In Volatility Trading, Sinclair offers you a quantitative model for measuring volatility in order to gain an edge in your everyday option trading endeavors. With an accessible, straightforward approach. He guides traders through the basics of option pricing, volatility measurement, hedging, money management, and trade evaluation. In addition, Sinclair explains the often-overlooked psychological aspects of trading, revealing both how behavioral psychology can create market conditions traders can take advantage of-and how it can lead them astray. Psychological biases, he asserts, are probably the drivers behind most sources of edge available to a volatility trader. Your goal, Sinclair explains, must be clearly defined and easily expressed-if you cannot explain it in one sentence, you probably aren't completely clear about what it is. The same applies to your statistical edge. If you do not know exactly what your edge is, you shouldn't trade. He shows how, in addition to the numerical evaluation of a potential trade, you should be able to identify and evaluate the reason why implied volatility is priced where it is, that is, why an edge exists. This means it is also necessary to be on top of recent news stories, sector trends, and behavioral psychology. Finally, Sinclair underscores why trades need to be sized correctly, which means that each trade is evaluated according to its projected return and risk in the overall context of your goals. As the author concludes, while we also need to pay attention to seemingly mundane things like having good execution software, a comfortable office, and getting enough sleep, it is knowledge that is the ultimate source of edge. So, all else being equal, the trader with the greater knowledge will be the more successful. This book, and its companion CD-ROM, will provide that knowledge. The CD-ROM includes spreadsheets designed to help you forecast volatility and evaluate trades together with simulation engines.

Gain a deep, intuitive and technical understanding of practical options theory The main challenges in successful options trading are conceptual, not mathematical. Volatility: Practical Options Theory provides financial professionals, academics, students and others with an intuitive as well as technical understanding of both the basic and advanced ideas in options theory to a level that facilitates practical options trading. The approach taken in this book will prove particularly valuable to options traders and other practitioners tasked with making pricing and risk management decisions in an environment where time constraints mean that simplicity and intuition are of greater value than mathematical formalism. The most important areas of options theory, namely implied volatility, delta hedging, time value and the so-called options greeks are explored based on intuitive economic arguments alone before turning to formal models such as the seminal Black-Scholes-Merton model. The reader will understand how the model free approach and mathematical models are related to each other, their underlying theoretical assumptions and their implications to level that facilitates practical implementation. There are several excellent mathematical descriptions of options theory, but few focus on a translational approach to convert the theory into practice. This book emphasizes the translational aspect, while first building an intuitive, technical understanding that allows market makers, portfolio managers, investment managers, risk managers, and other traders to work more effectively within—and beyond—the bounds of everyday practice. Gain a deeper understanding of the assumptions underlying options theory Translate theoretical ideas into practice Develop a more accurate intuition for better time-constrained decision making This book allows its readers to gain more than a superficial understanding of the mechanisms at work in options markets. Volatility gives its readers the edge by providing a true bedrock foundation upon which practical knowledge becomes stronger.

Zu langsam, zu wenig am Markt orientiert, zu sehr in die eigene L?sung verliebt: Bei vielen Innovationsprojekten ist das Scheitern vorprogrammiert. Weil das Produkt beim Kunden den Bedarf nicht trifft.
Hier setzt der Autor und Fachexperte Dr. Christoph Dill an. Kompetent und pointiert skizziert er, was Innovationsteams beachten und wie sie vorgehen sollten, damit neue Produkte beim Kunden einen Wow-Effekt ausl?sen.
Der Begriff Produkt greift aus Sicht des Autors ohnehin zu kurz. Denn innovative, attraktive Produkte beinhalten auch Aspekte wie neue Gesch?ftsmodelle und Dienstleistungen. Deshalb spricht er lieber von «Leistungspaketen» statt von Produkten.
Aber wie lassen sich solche Leistungspakete schnell und marktorientiert entwickeln? Schlie?lich ist Zeit in diesem Zusammenhang im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Geld. Antwort des Autors: Durch ein systematisches Vorgehen, bei dem auch agile Methoden wie Scrum, Canvas oder Design Thinking zum Einsatz kommen.

Wer an den Produkten und L?sungen von morgen arbeitet, braucht permanent neue Ideen und Innovationen. Und dies setzt die Mitarbeit vieler, kreativer K?pfe voraus. Doch wie ticken die Wissensarbeiter von heute? Und wenn sie sich nicht mehr so einfach managen lassen wie Eric Schmidt behauptet: Wie sehen dann R?ume aus, in denen sie sich frei entfalten k?nnen?
Maik Marten geht in seinem Buch den wechselseitigen Beziehungen von inspirierender Arbeitsumgebung, Motivation und Innovationsst?rke genauer auf den Grund. Dabei blickt er zur?ck zu den Anf?ngen der B?roarbeit und entdeckt auf seiner Reise bis in unsere Gegenwart erfolgreiche, aber auch gescheiterte B?rokonzepte.
Die Evolution der B?roarbeit ist noch nicht abgeschlossen. Mobilfunktechnik, Cloud, das Internet der Dinge und Virtual Reality werden unsere Arbeitsweise in den n?chsten Jahren radikal ver?ndern. Fast scheint es so, als ob das B?ro bald gar nicht mehr notwendig ist. Oder gewinnt es sogar noch an Bedeutung, gerade dann, wenn es um die intensive Zusammenarbeit von Menschen geht, die an den Produkten von morgen arbeiten?

Wenn wir Tiere sehen, erwarten wir von ihnen nur das Verhalten, welches ihren Eigenschaften entspricht. So erwarten wir von einem Pferd nicht, dass es fliegt und von einem Hund nicht, dass er auf B?ume klettert. Warum k?nnen wir alle anderen Menschen nicht auch einfach so akzeptieren wie sie sind? Denn, wenn ich mit einer Katze verheiratet bin und 16 Jahre darauf warte, dass sie bellt, ist dies bestimmt nicht das Problem der Katze. Unser Leben kann soviel leichter und sch?ner sein, wenn wir aufh?ren zu urteilen und vor allem zu verurteilen. Solange wir andere Menschen oder ?u?ere Umst?nde daf?r verantwortlich machen, wenn es in unserem Leben nicht ideal l?uft, werden wir unseren inneren Frieden nicht erlangen. Erst, wenn wir den Blick nach Innen richten und wieder lernen auf unser Herz zu h?ren, beginnen wir einen Weg zu gehen, der uns zur Liebe, F?lle, Freiheit, Gesundheit und zum Gl?ck f?hrt.

Praise for Wall Street's Buried Treasure «Mr. Houtkin has provided the reader with a wonderful education on a great strategy that has the potential to turn a very limited risk investment into an extraordinarily high return. He makes the critical distinction between penny stocks and serious opportunities available to the low-priced value investor using important examples of his own methodology. Along the way, Houtkin provides valuable insight into some of the inner workings of Wall Street.» —BILL KRAFT, trader, speaker, trading coach, and author of Trade Your Way to Wealth «Investing without Wall Street's Buried Treasure is like trying to live without food. Mr. Houtkin provides the facts of survival one needs to make money in any market. He reports the truth that no one else wants to state.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), one of the most original and perceptive thinkers of the twentieth century, offered a unique insight into the profound impact of the media on modern society. Jaeho Kang’s book offers a lucid introduction to Benjamin’s theory of the media and its continuing relevance today. The book provides a systematic and close reading of Benjamin’s critical and provocative writings on the intersection between media – from print to electronic – and modern experience, with reference to the information industry, the urban spectacle, and the aesthetic politics. Bringing Benjamin’s thought into a critical constellation with contemporary media theorists such as Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard, the book helps students understand the implications of Benjamin’s work for media studies today and how they can apply his distinctive ideas to contemporary media culture. Kang’s book leads to a fresh appreciation of Benjamin’s work and new insight into critical theoretical approaches to media. The book will be of particular interest to students and researchers not only in media and communication studies but also in cultural studies, film studies and social theory, who are seeking a readable overview of Benjamin’s rich yet complex writings.

Cut warranty costs by reducing fraud with transparent processes and balanced control Warranty Fraud Management provides a clear, practical framework for reducing fraudulent warranty claims and other excess costs in warranty and service operations. Packed with actionable guidelines and detailed information, this book lays out a system of efficient warranty management that can reduce costs without upsetting the customer relationship. You'll dig into the whole spectrum of warranty fraud, from simple sloppy procedures to systematic organized crime, and get to know the fraudulent parties, the victims, as well as the objectives and methods of the fraudulent activities in different scenarios. You'll learn how to implement controls to detect and reduce fraudulent claims and decrease the overall warranty costs. The impact of fraudulent claims is plainly spelled out alongside detailed descriptions of typical symptoms and process gaps present in diverse companies. A comprehensive, multi-modal framework for robust warranty management is presented as a template for revamping your own company's strategy. Fraudulent warranty claims occupy an estimated 3-15 percent of the average company's warranty costs, which generally average between 1-4 percent of sales. Many companies are unaware of the issue or struggle to take action against the claims for fear of upsetting business partners, or because they lack tangible evidence. This book details a robust warranty control framework that institutes transparency and control over the whole warranty chain—supporting the process far beyond just fraud reduction. Understand the different actors (customers, sales channels, service agents, warranty providers, etc.) and different forms of warranty fraud Uncover issues in your company's warranty processes Learn methods to detect and prevent fraudulent activities Implement a robust system of warranty cost control Warranty fraud is a major cost-control issue for most companies, but the sensitive nature of the topic leaves most reluctant to share their experiences and divulge their strategies. Warranty Fraud Management brings warranty fraud out into the open, and provides a clear, actionable framework for cost-savings through fraud reduction.
