Eine gelungene Mischung aus interessanter Information, Humor und Anekdoten: Dieses Buch vermittelt nicht nur Wissenswertes, sondern es bereitet auch Lesevergnügen! Gross, einer der Top-Finanzmanager, der sich mit der Verfolgung wirtschaftlicher Trends einen Namen gemacht hat, beschreibt hier, wie sich der Geldmarkt der Zukunft wandeln wird: Uns stehen niedrige Zinsen und ein langsames, aber stetiges Wirtschaftswachstum bevor. Dies erfordert ein völlig neues Herangehen an Investitionen mit Schwerpunkt auf dem Rentenmarkt, dem richtigen Aktienpaket und globalisiertem Investment-Portfolio. (06/98)
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in 1944, a child of Dr. Spock, a child of the Cold War. My parents were cold too, but devoted to their kids and their education. In 1954, we moved to San Francisco, where my father had sensed the necessity for a better education. #2 I graduated from Duke without honors in 1962. I was about to be drafted and sent to Vietnam, so I enlisted as an officer in the Navy flight program at Pensacola, Florida. After training on propeller-driven T-28s, the Admiral cut me from his team. #3 The book Beat the Dealer was formative in my career at PIMCO. It taught me how to count cards and how to make large bets, which I used to win money playing blackjack in Las Vegas. #4 I owe my mother for getting me the job at Pacific Mutual. She read an advertisement in the LA Times one Sunday morning, and said, Bill, would this interest you. It did, even though it was for a security analyst, because at the time I had no job offers.
From the host of NPR’s Planet Money, the deeply-investigated story of how one visionary, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King, he was a gambler. In 1966, a fresh college grad, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. $10,000 and countless casino bans later, he was hooked: so he enrolled in business school. The Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades, Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk, high reward; founded Pimco, one of today’s most powerful, secretive, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers, and enemies, along the way. Like every American antihero, his ambition would also be his undoing. To understand the winners and losers of today’s money game, journalist Mary Childs argues, is to understand the bond market—and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King.

"The authors do a good job using the diaries, interviews, and books written by group members to convey a vivid—sometimes too vivid—picture of war at its most elemental." —The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation In February 1942, a reconnaissance party of United States Army Air Force officers arrived in England. Firmly wedded to the doctrine of daylight precision bombing, they believed they could help turn the tide of the war in Europe. In the months that followed, they formed the Eighth Air Force – an organization that grew at an astonishing rate. To accommodate it, almost seventy airfields were hastily built across the eastern counties of England. At the heart of the Eigh...
