A better time for your business starts in the next decade.

In this fast and furious time machine of a book, Richard Laermer shows you how to use-and in some cases abuse-the trends of the next decade (or two) that really matter. As an author with a functional crystal ball, a veteran marketing innovator, and media master, Laermer foresees a fabulous future-if you start planning for it today.

Sometimes you see a business evolve and think, “I wish I'd thought of that.” With his trademark razor-sharp style, Laermer reveals the most functional forecasting secrets of professional trendspotters. Divided into nine categories, with more than 72 “short-short” chapters and dozens of outrageous sidebars, this captivating book shows you the ways to:

* Read the signs
* Influence the trends
* Embrace new and reject stodgy
* Anticipate change
* Ask experts the right questions
* Seek out visionaries and snub fakers
* Separate the trends from fads
* Use technology-for everything
* Cash in on being ahead of the competition!

2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade is packed with eye-popping predictions (and realities) on how you'll live, work, play, buy, sell, talk, text, laugh, and more. You'll discover how miniscule attention spans will increase a need for velocity...how to work while you're sleeping...how to wash off mediocrity...and why today's communication devices will become obsolete. With 2011you'll learn how to participate in change instead of trailing it.

Laermer calls trends as he sees 'em-from what's dead to what's sensational to what's novel and what's next. If you're looking for surprising observations, shocking statistics, sublime insights, and wholesome food for thought--read this book.

How to Develop and Implement a Winning Trading System by Tushar S. Chande

Beyond Technical Analysis: How to Develop and Implement a Winning Trading System by Tushar S. Chande

Acclaim for Tushar Chande’s revolutionary approach for developing and implementing your own winning trading system

Tushar Chande provides insightful but clear-cut techniques which will enlighten the savant as well as the newcomer. His coverage of system development is the first thorough treatment disclosing both specific trading systems and the practicalities of their implementation."–John Sweeney, Technical Editor, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine; author, Maximum Adverse Excursion: Analyzing Price Fluctuations for Trading Management.

The book gives a very systematic way to the trading system development and the guidelines on the "performance" measurements. Highly Recommended !

In this book, acclaimed technical trading system developer Tushar Chande shows individual and professional traders how to develop and implement a winning trading system, and how to test its future performance through computer simulation. Users can "paper trade" their personal trading system before using it in the real world, accurately estimating how well they can cope with the day-to-day pressures of implementing the system when their capital is at risk and emotions are involved.

It is an effective book on getting you to analyze your risk, and he even gives you the 1-1/2% and 2% risk of ruin tables to do that. Nice of him to do the programming so that we can determine which is the right risk amount to take on each trade at the lower end of the percentage scale.

His equity curve chapters are also important in helping to shed light on how to look at performance in a meaningful way. This is one of the most useful books available today -- in a sea of not so useful books.

The value of this book is that it has a few fairly original ideas (and more than a few conventional ones) that can form the basis for further research. Some of the material may be beyond the novice trader, but intermediate to advanced mechanical traders will probably find something of value here. And Chande's discussion of equity curves and data scrambling is significantly better than many other books on the subject.
