Market Whipped: And Not By Choice

Anyone who has their money in the market needs to read this view of Wall Street and why no one can admit that it has turned into a massive multiplayer online role playing game, an MMORPG. Take a biting journey into the new brutal world of investing. Tour the Dark Side where you meet new game masters, power players, and supercomputers. Where computers search and kill traders, and governments trade against Joe the Investor. Learn how financial engineers are calculating your behaviors betting against your weaknesses. Why the Ledge Jumper, the addicted Day Trader, and the delusional keep coming back for more. Written by an economic futurist who convincingly compares the new market with on-line war games, Market Whipped clearly depicts an investing environment that has evolved beyond gambling and into a battle between power players. This book is not about stock picking. It is an awakening to the fact that your competitors are automated computerized trading systems, the government as game master and trader, and a massive variety of characters—human and non-human—infiltrating the market from around the world. For those who are chained to the game, Market Whipped presents a new strategy to help you survive in a market that has whipped even the best pros. Because when you place a trade, you are stepping into the game as a character, onto a battlefield, either at the right time and place, or not.
