Search Finance Trends Matter

In an effort to help you better find the information you are looking for, I've installed a Google Custom Search bar to help you scour this blog for relevant posts.

You'll find the new search bar in the lower right hand sidebar, underneath our Subscribe and Bookmark widget buttons. Just type in any keyword or search term you like, and hit the search button. All relevant results will be displayed on the next page, and you will also have the option of broadening your search over the entire web.

I chose Google Custom Search, a much needed improvement to our previous site search tools, to help you better find the information you are looking for here at Finance Trends Matter. You will now be able to easily search through all our past content, and find related posts on any subject of interest.

Quick example: say you came here looking for information about hedge fund manager, John Paulson. If you came to a certain post by way of a Google search, or a direct link, you may have seen only one piece of information on the subject before deciding to leave.

But if you were to look over to the Custom Search bar and try out this query, "John Paulson", for more information, you would find an additional number of posts mentioning John Paulson, as well as links to relevant post titles. You'll find even more results here for terms like "gold", "inflation", and "Marc Faber".

So use this search feature. You'll have more information with a minimum of effort, and better search results. Hope this will help you to better navigate the site, and unlock the best content!

Do you have any ideas for further site improvements here at Finance Trends Matter? Let us know about them. Leave a comment or drop us an email (see profile for email address). Thanks.

Jesse Livermore: How to Trade in Stocks (1940 Ed. E-book)

If you've been around markets for any length of time, you've probably heard of 20th century supertrader, Jesse Livermore . Today we're highlighting his rare 1940 work, How to Trade in Stocks (ebook, pdf). But first, a brief overview of Livermore's life and trading career (bio from Jesse Livermore's Wikipedia entry). "During his lifetime, Livermore gained and lost several multi-million dollar fortunes. Most notably, he was worth $3 million and $100 million after the 1907 and 1929 market crashes, respectively. He subsequently lost both fortunes. Apart from his success as a securities speculator, Livermore left traders a working philosophy for trading securities that emphasizes increasing the size of one's position as it goes in the right direction and cutting losses quickly. Ironically, Livermore sometimes did not follow his rules strictly. He claimed that lack of adherence to his own rules was the main reason for his losses after making his 1907 and...
