Panic, Prosperity, and Progress / Wiley Trading Series (ePub)

A detailed guide to financial market performance during
financial crises

With the financial markets seemingly careening from one crisis
to another, it's vital for today's investors and traders to
have an historical perspective on market performance during times
of great turmoil. In this book, Tim Knight provides an exhaustive
analysis of financial market behavior prior, during, and following
tumultuous events since 1600.

Making copious use of charts and basic technical analysis,
Knight demonstrates how external shocks tend to create extreme
reactions in the financial markets and how these predictable
reactions provide opportunities for investors and traders to
profit. Knight traverses five centuries of financial market
history, from Tulipmania in the 1600s to the contemporary sovereign
debt crisis. He looks at each event from the prism of the financial
markets, examining the market climate prior to the event, during
the event, and following the event.
