Proven techniques for leading-instead of following-fast-changing
markets
Investors, no matter what strategy they are using, can be placed
into two categories. Single-minded, inflexible hedgehogs lock into
one strategy and stick with it through thick and thin. Dynamic,
adaptable foxes, on the other hand, are alert for changes, learn
from experience, embrace new ideas, and make the most of new trends
and technologies. The key lies in being flexible and realizing that
markets are dynamic. Invest Like a Fox . . . Not Like a
Hedgehog shows investors how being a hedgehog can reduce
returns while increasing the risk of a portfolio, and how acquiring
the cunning and adaptability of the fox will improve returns while
reducing risk. It reveals the shortcomings of popular but
hedgehog-like investment strategies and shows how a fox-like
investor adjusts to new market realities. Readers learn how to use
the renowned Bayesian Theory of Probability and other guideposts
from outside the world of finance to adjust their strategies and
react to new information.
