Product Description:
SELECTED AS A 2008 BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST.
"ONE OF THE SMARTEST INVESTORS ON THE PLANET."--MONEY MAGAZINE. .
�This book is an essential read for those who. wish to understand the modern world of investing.�.
�Alan Greenspan
. . .
Winner of the 2008 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award
When Markets Collide is a timely alert to the fundamental changes taking place in today's global economic and financial systems--and a call to action for investors who may fall victim to misinterpreting important signals. While some have tended to view asset class mispricings as mere �noise,� this compelling book shows why they are important signals of opportunities and risks that will shape the market for years to come. One of today's most respected names in finance, Mohamed El-Erian puts recent events in their proper context, giving you the tools that can help you interpret the markets, benefit from global economic change, and navigate the risks.
. .
The world economy is in the midst of a series of hand-offs. Global growth is now being heavily influenced by nations that previously had little or no systemic influence. Former debtor nations are building unforeseen wealth and, thus, enjoying unprecedented influence and facing unusual challenges. And new derivative products have changed the behavior of many market segments and players. Yet, despite all these changes, the system's infrastructure is yet to be upgraded to reflect the realities of today's and tomorrow's world. El-Erian investigates the underlying drivers of global change to shed light on how you should:
. . . . - Think about the new opportunities and risks.
- Construct an appropriately diversified and internationalized portfolio.
- Protect your portfolio against new sources of systemic risk.
- Best think about the impact of central banks and financial policies around the world
. .
Offering up predictions of future developments, El-Erian directs his focus to help you capitalize on the new financial landscape, while limiting exposure to new risk configurations.
. .
When Markets Collide is a unique collection of books for investors and policy makers around the world. In addition to providing a thorough analysis and clear perspective of recent events, it lays down a detailed map for navigating your way through an otherwise perplexing new economic landscape.

El Erian lays out in sophisticated format his understanding of the changes that have come about in today's global economy and capital markets. He challenges us to examine what we write off as background noise which just may be a sea change in market fundamentals. He reminds us that " Black Swan" events may be more prevalent going forward than previously thought and to prepare for such events. He states that emerging markets are going to be prominent in capital flows going forward and that we should ... Read More

I was so disapointed with this book that I decided to write a review. But I must confess that there is not much else to add after reading the reviews of Bojko and David Harper. They hit the nail on the head: if you have some basic understanding of finance and economics and if you follow the news with some regularity then there is nothing to learn from this book. Coincidentally Mr El-Erian worked at Harvard not long ago managing Harvard's endowment fund before joining PIMCO. Just recently Harvard ... Read More

This book is well written and full of valuable insights.
Frankly I don't understand others' complains of the writing style. It's actually a pretty well written book, with no problem with its sentences / grammar whatsoever.
One thing for sure: this book is not written for those day traders and market timers. You got to have some background in Economy / Finance to better appreciate the insights of the book.

I was fooled by all the recommendations on the jacket and by the Economist's annual best-read list. If you must, browse the first two chapters (just look at the graphs) in a bookstore. The author promises much in the beginning of each chapter (the promises can extend to several pages: I will demonstrate.., I will draw on...) but never delivers. He quotes from the works of many (many of those recommend the book on the jacket) but it appears he quotes without reading, either from the jacket or Wikipedia. ... Read More

Poorly written. He admits he's splitting his audiences and the result is a mess of a book where the big themes are well known to even the most remedial investor. If you're really interested in his ideas all that's needed is a video interview search of which there are numerous.

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.
Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
