Why Stock Markets Crash $27.95 The scientific study of complex systems has transformed a wide range of disciplines in recent years, enabling researchers in both the natural and social sciences to model and predict phenomena as diverse as earthquakes, global warming, demographic patterns, financial crises, and the failure of materials. In this book, Didier Sornette boldly applies his varied experience in these areas to propose a simple, powerful, and general theory of how, why, and when stock markets crash. Most attempts to explain market failures seek to pinpoint triggering mechanisms that occur hours, days, or weeks before the collapse. Sornette proposes a radically different view: the underlying cause can be sought months and even years before the abrupt, catastrophic event in the build-up of cooperative speculation, which often translates into an accelerating rise of the market price, otherwise known as a “bubble.” Anchoring his sophisticated, step-by-step analysis in leading-edge physical and statistical modeling techniques, he unearths remarkable insights and some predictions–among them, that the “end of the growth era” will occur around 2050. Sornette probes major historical precedents, from the decades-long “tulip mania” in the Netherlands that wilted suddenly in 1637 to the South Sea Bubble that ended with the first huge market crash in England in 1720, to the Great Crash of October 1929 and Black Monday in 1987, to cite just a few. He concludes that most explanations other than cooperative self-organization fail to account for the subtle bubbles by which the markets lay the groundwork for catastrophe. Any investor or investment professional who seeks a genuine understanding of looming financial disasters should read this book. Physicists, geologists, biologists, economists, and others will welcome Why Stock Markets Crash as a highly original “scientific tale,” as Sornette aptly puts it, of the exciting and sometimes fearsome–but no longer quite so unfathomable–world of stock markets. |

100 Years of Wall Street $0.36 Relive 100 years of sensational events and unforgettablecharacters from the world’s most famous street! For the first two decades of the 20th century, Wall Street was unsafe for the individual investor; today, millions of ordinary Americans feel secure placing their nest eggs and retirement accounts in a soaring market. How did the shark-infested waters of the world’s most famous, if not notorious, street become the trusted center of global finance? How has “The Street” developed under the mixed stewardship of entrepreneurial wizards, swindlers, visionaries and government regulators? 100 Years of Wall Street, a richly illustrated popular history of the American century’s greed and ingenuity, catastrophes and triumphs, is also the very human story of rich and powerful men whose actions changed the shape of the economic landscape, often overnight. J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Michael Milken — each in his own way had enormous influence over the way other people would live their lives. Best-selling author Charles R. Geisst’s dramatic narrative singles out the important historical events while interweaving profiles of forceful personalities, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and curious facts to produce a kaleidoscopic view of “The Street.” In addition to the 150 photographs, most of them rarely reproduced, there are charts to explain historical convulsions in the markets and reproductions of such memorabilia as early mutual fund literature and stock certificates from mining and railroad companies. An introduction to Wall Street lore that reveals many aspects of history that will be unfamiliar even to knowledgeable investors and investment professionals, 100 Years of Wall Street is very much the story of America itself. From Teddy Roosevelt’s trust-busting to the booming Reagan years to the electric economy of the present, the fortunes of Wall Street have reflected or directed many of the aspirations, achievements and miscalculations of the nation as a |

This is not an easy question to answer. There are various methods that are employed. Discounted cash flow is the most popular currently. It does however suffer from one really big problem. That is attempting to determine what the cash flow is likely to be. That does not prevent all of the discounters from the attempt. The way it works is projecting the future cash flow of the company out for the foreseeable and even the non-foreseeable future and discounting it to the present and then comparing it to the current price. Morningstar loves doing that and they are not the only ones. S&P also partakes of that strategy.
A strategy that I like because it is fairly simple is to compare the current PE of the company to the historical (last 10 years) for a company with a consistent earnings record. For example WMT. Its PE ratio has varied between 13 and 56 during the last 10 years. It has been a consistent earnings performer and has also been a consistent dividend payer and dividend raiser. Its current PE ratio is about 14 very near its ten year low. Seems to me to be a BUY.
