Katsenelson Market pundits predict whether the stock market will go up or down but the reality is that it goes nowhere over 50% of the time. The challenge for active investors and traders is how to make money during these times when the market is range bound. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A strategy to profit when markets are range bound–which is half of the time One of the most significant challenges facing todays active investor is how to make money during the times when markets are going nowhere. Bookshelves are groaning under the weight of titles written on investment strategy in bull markets, but there is little guidance on how to invest in range bound markets. In this book, author and respected investment portfolio manager Vitaliy Katsenelson makes a convincing case for range-bound market conditions and offers readers a practical strategy for proactive investing that improves profits. This guide provides investors with the know-how to modify the traditional, fundamentally driven strategies that they have become so accustomed to using in bull markets, so that they can work in range bound markets. It offers new approaches to margin of safety and presents terrific insights into buy and sell disciplines, international investing, "Quality, Valuation, and Growth" framework, and much more.

I highly recommend Katsenelsons book, Active Value Investing: Making Money in Range-Bound Markets . I like to think old Ben Graham would have recommended it, too." --Forbes Active Value Investing For the next dozen years or so, the U.S. stock market will be a wild roller-coaster ride--setting all-time highs and multi-year lows in the process. While the twists and turns of this ride are still to be written by history, the long-term, sideways "range-bound" trajectory has already been set by the eighteen-year bull market that ended in 2000. When the dust settles, only those who adapted their investment strategies to this range-bound market will have captured any meaningful profits. Nobody understands this situation better than author, educator, and respected investment manager Vitaliy Katsenelson. And now, with Active Value Investing, hell reveal how to achieve unparalleled success in these conditions by taking traditionally profitable and fundamentally driven strategies--developed during the eighteen-year bull market--and modifying them for use in range-bound markets. This is not just another value investing book. It is a practical guide that contains innovative insights and timely techniques that will improve your investment endeavors during a time when others will be paying with their returns, and with lost time, for the valuation excesses of prior bull markets. In the first part of the book, Katsenelson examines the historical performance of U.S. markets over the past two centuries and discusses what has caused prolonged bull, bear, and range-bound markets. He then looks at the emotions that have dominated each of these markets, why there is a high probability that a range-bound market has descended on us, and what you can do to forecast how long this market will last. Part Two of Active Value Investing addresses practical application of this concept. Here youll become familiar with performing proper stock analysis--from identifying what constitutes a good company to determining the stock price at which these companies become worth owning--and implementing an active investing strategy during range- bound markets. Youll also be introduced to the Quality, Valuation, and Growth (QVG) framework, which lies at the core of this approach. Rounding out this section are detailed discussions of the buy/sell process as well as complete coverage of important risk and diversification issues. Range-bound markets may be difficult to invest in, but with Active Value Investing as your guide, youll quickly learn how to squeeze real profits out of a difficult market full of exhilarating highs and surprising lows.
