Catalysts: How Events Move Markets And Create Trading Opportunities
(368 pages, $39.99 hardcover, 2006, ISBN 0-13-038556-5) by Robert I. Webb,
by Pearson Education publishing as FT Press.
Volatile financial markets create both the risk of substantial losses and the opportunity for substantial gains. Sudden jumps or breaks in prices can impart a roller coaster?like quality to trading in financial markets. This is a guide to the events that spark large changes in prices. The varied origin of trading catalysts means that some traders may have an edge in anticipating the market's reaction to certain trading catalysts. Real market examples take the reader into the heart of the market to illustrate the direction, magnitude, speed, duration, intensity, and breadth of influence of trading catalysts on market prices. This book will help readers anticipate potential events that could spark rallies or breaks that drive markets up and down, and identify situations where substantial overreatctions are likely to occur.
