Take control of risk . . . before it takes control of you
Don't like uncertainty? Doubt makes you nervous? Most people are averse to it, but risk
is unavoidable to the serious investor. In this groundbreaking book, Curtis Faith helps
you not only form a truce with risk, but actually make it your ally.
One of Chicago's famed Turtle traders, Faith credits his group's unprecedented trading
success with its mastery over the psychology of risk. In Inside the Mind of the Turtles,
he explains how to view risk as an asset-and invest accordingly.
Covering his own techniques, plus those of other traders, speculators,
hedge-fund billionaires, and venture capitalists, Faith teaches you the seven rules for
mastering risk
- Overcome fear
- Remain flexible
- Take reasoned risks
- Prepare to be wrong
- Focus on market realities
- Respond to change quickly and decisively
- Concentrate on decisions, not outcomes
Only those who can control their fear of risk will move forward in the investing world.
This has never been truer than it is in today's topsy-turvy global economy. Read Inside
the Mind of the Turtles and never again hide inside your shell in the face of risk.
Curtis Faith is the author of the bestselling Way of the Turtle. In his early
twenties, Faith earned more than $30 million as a member of the Chicago trading group, the
Turtles. He founded several software and high-tech startups, including a public company
and an Inc. 500 firm.
