"Investors have too often extrapolated from recent experience. In the 1950s, who but the most rampant optimist would have dreamt that over the next fifty years the real return on equities would be 9% per year? Yet this is what happened in the U.S. stock market. The optimists triumphed. However, as Don Marquis observed, an optimist is someone who never had much experience. The authors of this book extend our experience across regions and across time. They present a comprehensive and consistent analysis of investment returns for equities, bonds, bills, currencies and inflation, spanning sixteen countries, from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. This is achieved in a clear and simple way, with over 130 color diagrams that make comparison easy.Crucially, the authors analyze total returns, including reinvested income. They show that some historical indexes overstate long-term performance because they are contaminated by survivorship bias and that long-term stock returns are in most countries seriously overestimated, due to a focus on periods that with hindsight are known to have been successful.The book also provides the first comprehensive evidence on the long-term equity risk premium--the reward for bearing the risk of common stocks. The authors reveal whether the United States and United Kingdom have had unusually high stock market returns compared to other countries. The book covers the U.S., the U.K., Japan, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, Denmark, and South Africa.Triumph of the Optimists is required reading for investment professionals, financial economists, and investors. It will be the definitive reference in the field and consulted for years to come.; ; ; RECORD: .b11036047; URL: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2001052760-d.html; HTML TOC:; ; ; ; Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2001052760; ; ; ; ; ; Publisher description for Transactional analysis : a relational perspective / Helena Hargaden and Charlotte Sills.; ; ; Bibliographic record and links to related information available from the Library of Congress catalog; Transactional Analysis is growing in popularity as an approach, and this book provides and in-depth, comprehensive model of theory and practice, covering: the approach, the dynamics of the relationship, therapeutic transactions and wider implications. Transactional Analysis: A Relational Perspective presents a relational model of psychotherapy which reflects the theoretical and methodological changes that have been evolving over recent years. In this book, Helena Hargaden and Charlotte Sills tell the story of their model through case history, theory and diagram illustrating how the unconscious process comes to life in the consulting room. Their relational theory and applied methodology of transactional analysis makes it possible to chart realms of uncertainty and the unknown, (deconfusion of the Child ego state), with theoretical assistance. It looks at the whole therapeutic relationship, from the establishment of the working alliance, to the termination of therapy and; beyond. It will be of great interest to post graduates and professionals in the field of psychotherapy."--Publisher description.
