Ignore the Hype

This book's goal is 3-fold: 1) to enhance awareness of the difference between long-term investing and short-term trading; 2) to help individual investors filter the information overload that volatile markets and the financial media subject them to; and 3) to provide a toolkit based upon empirical academic research which can provide a foundation for long-term investment success.

Ignore the Hype is designed to be accessible to the average individual. Therefore, although some of the topics are reasonably advanced, they are explained in a clear-cut manner and accompanied by real world examples. Some chapter topics include:

- Not playing a game that is rigged

- Realizing that forecasting is just guessing

- Understanding the drivers of investment returns

- Having a specific financial goal

- Practicing smart diversification

- Avoiding the media

Obiectivul acestei carti este de trei ori: 1) cresterea gradului de constientizare a diferentei dintre investitiile pe termen lung si tranzactionarea pe termen scurt; 2) pentru a ajuta investitorii individuali sa filtreze supraincarcarea informatiilor pe care le supun pietele volatile si mass-media financiara; si 3) sa ofere un set de instrumente bazat pe cercetari academice empirice, care sa poata oferi o baza pentru succesul investitiilor pe termen lung.
