Protect yourself from the next financial meltdown with this game-changing primer on financial markets, the economy—and the meteoric rise of carry.The financial shelves are filled with books that explain how popular carry trading has become in recent years. But none has revealed just how significant a role it plays in the global economy—until now.   A groundbreaking book sure to leave its mark in the canon of investing literature, The Rise of Carry explains how carry trading has virtually shaped the global economic picture—one of decaying economic growth, recurring crises, wealth disparity, and, in too many places, social and political upheaval. The authors explain how carry trades work—particularly in the currency and stock markets—and provide a compelling case for how carry trades have come to dominate the entire global business cycle. They provide thorough analyses of critical but often overlooked topics and issues, including: • The active role stock prices play in causing recessions—as opposed to the common belief that recessions cause price crashes• The real driving force behind financial asset prices• The ways that carry, volatility selling, leverage, liquidity, and profitability affect the business cycle• How positive returns to carry over time are related to market volatility—and how central bank policies have supercharged these returns  Simply put, carry trading is now the primary determinant of the global business cycle—a pattern of long, steady but unspectacular expansions punctuated by catastrophic crises.The Rise of Carry provides foundational knowledge and expert insights you need to protect yourself from what have come to be common market upheavals—as well as the next major crisis.

An evil sorcerer was cast into exile for four thousand years, but escaped from that exile a few years before it would end in present day. Drexol and his dragon wreak havoc.

With the help of a cat, Kwadjol, that Beltzemar gave powers to, one being the ability to speak, Nicky prepares for the battle to come against Drexol, and is introduced to a dragon, Zaylok, who will be his familiar. A story of good fighting evil, but with the magic and battle continuing in the world as we know it now, and going back in time.

Entity is, at its core, a story about a young guy and his car. It is kind of like "Knight Rider" on steroids. Bobby Jamison is an average guy in his early twenties, working at a junkyard. His life changes when an alien entity, an orb of light, transforms a cheap Impala he bought into a supercharged 1970 Dodge Charger and chooses to be the Charger, in a sense, and becomes his friend.Entity is a screenplay, not a novel, but it is still a story and is in a less strict format than a screenplay is intended to be, so that it is easier to read and understand. It tells how Bobby and the entity, Izzy, came to meet. Entity is part of a series I have created.If you are a gearhead on any level, or enjoy stories with an alien or supernatural theme, then you will likely enjoy this story. I write stories that I would like to see as movies. I hope you will enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you for taking the time to view this page.
