New Paradigm Investors
Dr. Gandevani's New Paradigm Investor proposes a fundamental shift away from the "buy and hold" (or should it really be called "buy and hope?") strategy that is preached by so many financial advisers. The Old Paradigm, which seeks to hide glaring mistakes by telling the investor to shrug off huge losses under the guise of investing for the "long term" will no longer suffice in today's world of broadband internet and high volume active investing. Bear markets and sell offs can become profitable opportunities to sell short and buy back at cheaper prices instead of being a long financial nightmare. Dr. Gandevani uses an illustration of how sizable retracements of equity in an investors account requires an exponentially greater % gain to recover to break even. This can make it extremely difficult if not impossible to fully recover from losses suffered in a bear market under the Old Paradigm.

Dr. Gandevani identifies that investing is becoming a necessity of survival for people from all walks of life, not just for a privileged few. Rising costs of living outpacing the rise of incomes, inflation, and longer life spans are all contributing reasons why investing is a must.

New Paradigm Investors using the techniques Dr. Gandevani outlines in this book now have tools at their disposal that could lead to market beating performances, profiting in both bull and bear market cycles. These techniques aid in timing entry, managing a position that allows only modest risk exposure, and exiting a profitable position that has a reduced probability of continuing favorably. All of these are important fundamentals that a New Paradigm Investor can gain from this book. The investment strategy detailed in this book combined with a risk tolerance test to help gauge asset allocation specific to the individual investors personality and financial situation come together to create a far superior paradigm of managing investments. This book provides a map to creating a flexible and diversified winning portfolio specific to the individual and an approach to monitor it for better performance than could be attained relying on the Old Paradigm. Unless you have about a 100 year time frame to continue investing under the Old Paradigm, and are lucky enough to exit on a market high, the New Paradigm Investor is a recommended read to provide a good first step towards establishing a better foundation with which to view successful investing and market behavior.

A.Willimas review, "The New Paradigm Investor"
About seven years ago I invested in trading stocks for a living. The costs just for couching were over seven thousand dollars, and I lost more than that in the market. My coach instructed me on the fundamentals of stock investing, a little about charts and gave me investing advice when it was too late to use the information.

Dr. Ned Gandevani, PhD, book titled "The New Paradigm Investor", cost a fraction of fifty bucks and showed and re-taught me the same things that it cost me a fortune to learn and not well at that.

Dr. Gandevani talks about how to use the fundamentals and their weaknesses, how to use certain charts and which ones are best for your stock trading. He also identifies how to find what type of weaknesses you may have personally, and how to use that weakness to your advantage. He also breaks down how the economy works and how you go about investing in the stock market. Overall, the price of the book is worth much more than what I paid for it. If I would have had it years ago I would probably be one rich person.
