Brad Koteshwar aprendió sus lecciones de la manera más dura: en la escuela de los pesos pesados del mercado. Aunque tiene una buena formación, dice que las verdaderas lecciones solo se aprendieron en los mercados mediante ejecuciones reales de operaciones y a través de experiencias de pérdidas significativas. Tras haber visto la devastación del crack del 19 de octubre de 1987 en muchos de sus compañeros, Brad Koteshwar siguió sobreviviendo a los mercados a través de tendencias alcistas y bajistas. Redacta un comentario de mercado en línea para sus fieles lectores. Ha participado en muchas entrevistas radiofónicas y apareció en el reportaje de la revista Time sobre la subida y bajada del precio de las acciones de Taser.Brad Koteshwar, el autor de El Perfecto Especulador, se dio a conocer por primera vez por su informe sobre una fenomenal carrera de precios del 7000% en 52 semanas de las acciones de Taser International. A mediados de 2004, cuando dio a conocer ese informe que había escrito para sus clientes como una ficción y buscó publicidad en los medios de comunicación locales de Arizona, fue rechazado ya que quienes son los dueños de las pequeñas pero acaudaladas comunidades de Arizona eran todos propietarios de acciones de Taser. Ninguno de ellos quería creer que el precio de las acciones de Taser había tocado techo en abril de 2004.En este libro, Brad Koteshwar continúa ofreciendo las sencillas lecciones del mercado de valores en un formato de profesor y alumno, utilizando el personaje de Boyd Hunt, un maestro especulador, como profesor. En estos tiempos en los que el dinero rápido, suelto y fácil es pregonado por los cientos de libros de bolsa, el autor muestra cómo los viejos y probados principios siempre han funcionado en los ciclos de mercado pasados y seguirán funcionando en los ciclos de mercado futuros.

Here is the first authorized English edition of an extremely rare memoir published in Paris, France in 1955. Told from the perspective of a purported German scientist who worked under the Nazis on atomic weapons, and who after the war was commissioned by the Americans to work on their atomic programs, I'm Afraid! takes us from the battle-scarred landscapes of wartime Germany to the pristine lawns of Princeton University; from Hermann Göring's elegant Carinhall residence to the stern offices of the Pentagon. What's more, I'm Afraid! is a desperate, prescient warning about the weaponization of science and scientists, the fragility of human understanding, the folly of geopolitical conflicts in an era dominated by advanced technologies, and the real prospects of a global government to prevent another catastrophic world war. I'm Afraid! also delivers surprising and contentious portraits of a gallery of historic personalities such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Gustav Hertz, Edward Teller, Albert Einstein, and Adolf Hitler, all while dropping stunning secrets about early atomic activities. This edition reproduces - for the first time - all of the rare illustrations that appeared in the original French edition of the book. It also features an index and a preface by American journalist, historian, and translator Raul Vasquez which reveals the surprising identity of the European authors responsible for the book.
