Macro Trading and Investment Strategies

Unter Arbitrage versteht man das gleichzeitige Kaufen und Verkaufen von Wertpapieren in verschiedenen Märkten zur Erzielung von Gewinnen aufgrund von kurzfristigen Preisunterschieden. Im großen Rahmen angewandt, können mit Hilfe einer Arbitragestrategie beträchtliche Gewinnne eingefahren werden. So haben z. B. renommierte Anleger wie George Soros ein Vermögen gemacht. Da die Märkte zunehmend volatiler werden, werden auch Gewinn und Risiko entsprechend größer. Dieses Buch erklärt Ihnen anhand zahlreicher Beispiele und Fallstudien, wie sie Arbitragechancen nutzen können. Es zeigen Ihnen einen neuen Weg im internationalen Handel mit weniger Risiko. Mit echten Fallstudien und Handelsstrategien für Privatanleger.
