Book Reviews of Anatomy of the Bear: Lessons from Wall Street's Four Great Bottoms

Book Review: Clear insight to help one bear it
Summary: 5 Stars

This book, written before the melt down, is a must read in these times. The events leading up to the falls are reviewed and more interesting now, when things bottom. It is not a sensationalistic or get rich quick book. Rather, it offers clear insight. By reviewing the great bear markets of the last century, common patterns are discovered, some contradict conventional wisdom and TV talking heads. The case is made for a handful of predictors when we have really bottomed, all easily monitered. The books is relatively easy to read but assumes some basic market understandaing, but even a novice would get the point. At times, it was a little tedious and i admit to skipping along towards the end of the book. It is rare to find such a insightful work.

Summary of Anatomy of the Bear: Lessons from Wall Street's Four Great Bottoms

This is a good time to look at the financial bear. How does one spot the bottom of a bear market? What brings a bear to its end? There are few more important questions to be answered in modern finance. Financial market history is a guide to understanding the future. Looking at the four occasions when US equities were particularly cheap - 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982, Russell Napier sets to answers these questions by analysing every article in the Wall Street Journal of either side of the market bottom. In these 70,000 articles he examines, one begins to understand the features which indicate that a great buying opportunity is emerging. By looking at how markets really did work in these bear-market bottoms, rather than theorising how they should work, Napier offers investors a financial field guide to making the best financial provisions for the future.
