When a major political or financial event happens, the impact disseminates like a contagion across markets and sovereign boundaries. Like a row of toppling dominoes, the effect of the crisis accelerates along various paths. The Financial Domino Effect enables you to benefit from these moving catastrophes and helps you navigate current changes taking place in governmental and financial systems.
At the heart of this progressive book is a powerful framework for analyzing and interpreting the variety of connected influences in the three main domino effects categories--social-political, economic, and financial. By examining the aftermath of such recent milestone events as the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the Middle East protests, it shows you how to apply domino theory to become a more knowledgeable and astute portfolio manager. Written with the everyday invesŽtor in mind, this hands-on resource takes you to the next level by delving into such consequential topics as:
How easily complex domino effects can become and what it means to your portfolio Six symptoms in the aftermath of a financial or sovereign crisis Post-financial crisis responses, such as quantitative easing (QE), credit easing, and competitive quantitative easing (CQE)How the dissemination and speed of domino effects relate to monetary transmission The second part of the book goes into great depth examining the euro zone debt crisis through the framework. This crisis is particularly unique because it is a domino effect of three kinds--social, economic, and financial--and it has not fully played out. This timely guide takes you step by step through the crisis to a final analysis. Financial crises will happen with high frequency. The Financial Domino Effect helps you stay on top during volatile times in markets.
