   • bioText:

     Jim Jubak has spent 25 years writing about the capital markets, beginning in the early 1980s as the editor of Venture magazine and later as senior financial editor at Worth. In 1997 he joined MSN Money as senior markets editor and started Jubak's Journal and the Jubak's Picks portfolio. The MSN software developers were justifiably skeptical that a mere journalist (even one with a Knight Bagehot fellowship in business journalism from Columbia) could beat the market and they issued a challenge: "If you're so good, track your buys and sells as a real portfolio." That's exactly what he's done ever since, first on MSN Money (with 4 million unique users per month), where Nielsen ranked him the #1 investor columnist on the web, and now on his own blog, JubakPicks.com, launched in 2009, which averages 50,000 unique users per month. His stock-picking track record speaks for itself: the Jubak's Picks portfolio has returned 305% since its inception in May 1997. Jim currently runs two other stock portfolios on JubakPicks.com. Jim now writes for Yahoo Finance.

Juggling with Knives

fullDescription

Stunning volatility is the new "fact of life" that defines our age. Financial markets fall off cliffs one day, but then stage a recovery the next, only to do it all over again. The switch back and forth is emotionally draining, making us susceptible to irrational responses that can turn manageable problems into huge personal crises. But while there is danger in volatility, there is also the opportunity to profitably juggle the knives that volatility throws your way — with less risk than you might think.
The first step toward profiting from volatility is to understand why these radical ups and downs are taking place now. Jim Jubak's deep and broad-ranging analysis looks into not only the financial but also the economic, market, and social trends, showing how they reinforce each other, including:
the consequences of global central banks operating as cash machines,
a financial system that will not be reformed,
China as the world's largest game of three-card monte,
the aging of populations around the world and the resulting war between the young and old,
and the large bill we will have for the consequences of environmental externalities such as climate change and energy uncertainty.
Jubak analyzes these and other trends, providing practical insights and specific investing strategies that show investors how to respect — but not be scared of — market volatility, and how to make smarter investment decisions to profit from and hedge against it.

     The current age is one of financial volatility—and the rate at which markets are bottoming out and then rebounding is well above the norm, says market analyst Jubak. In fact, there have been four major volatility crises in 10 years: the Asian currency crisis of 1997, the Russian crisis of 1998, the dotcom bust of 2000, and the global financial crisis of 2007–2008. Jubak feels that our understanding of how this phenomenon works is still woefully inadequate. To determine how investors can survive volatility and even make it profitable, the book's first half covers the trends that brought about the current situation and all the reasons why we can expect the same for at least the next decade, touching upon the psychology of volatility and how people cope with it (in a word, poorly). The second half covers investing opportunities created by volatility and ways to improve traditional investment strategies, with the overall goal of avoiding panic. This fascinating study doesn't shy away from the complexity of our current economy, but it's written with the layperson in mind, resulting in an indispensable guide for anyone looking to navigate the storms with an intact portfolio.

     Investment guru Jubak (The Jubak Picks: 50 Stocks that Will Rebuild Your Wealth & Safeguard Your Future, 2008, etc.) analyzes the growing volatility of both the financial markets and everyday life (jobs, housing, an aging population, climate change, etc.) and offers strategies for profiting in a topsy-turvy world. A former editor at Worth, the author now edits JubakPicks.com, where his portfolio has returned 445 percent since 1997. In this informative, often entertaining book, he details the many ways in which frequent zigzags since 2000 in the financial markets--especially abrupt changes of acceleration and direction--have combined with events in the housing, job, and retirements markets to increase our expectations about the degree of volatility in everyday life. Heightened volatility is now "embedded" in the stock market, writes Jubak. Furthermore, our aging world brings rising medical costs and requires more pension payments. China alone--"the world's fastest-aging society," with an inadequate pension system and underfunded health care--poses a global volatility risk. Drawing on his experiences of the last 20 years in the financial market, the research of behavioral economists and neuroscientists, and projections for the immediate future, Jubak describes ways to better understand the scope and direction of rapid changes in key areas and ways to "limit the downside damage and increase the upside potential from this volatility in our portfolios and our lives." He stresses that by determining the distribution of volatility in a given market, it is possible to find a "haven of lower volatility." Besides understanding the underlying forces at work, the author urges readers to resist the impulse to engage in the flight-or-fight response in reacting to dizzying changes. Whether discussing the effects of food and water shortages or the boom-and-bust real estate markets in such diverse enclaves as hipster Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and Boomer Sarasota (Florida), Jubak brightly illuminates the trends shaping our present era. Solid advice for thoughtful investors.

     Jubak, a well-known financial columnist and editor, currently with JubakPicks.com and formerly MSN Money, asserts here that we have entered into an "age of volatility," in which large swings in the value of financial and other assets will become a common occurrence and thus impact everyday living. The author explains that this volatility will be difficult to assess. Among the forces that Jubak sees as fostering these changes are an easy money supply, the aging world population, Chinese debt, slowing global growth, the use of homes as financial assets, a close correlation between different asset classes, job market anxiety, fluctuating energy supplies, food and water scarcity, and climate change. He offers investment strategies to lessen the unexpectedness, such as hedging and buying stocks with growing dividends. Jubak's well-defined synthesis is comparable to what Thomas L. Friedman did for globalization in The World Is Flat. VERDICT With much of the book devoted to his prognosis for volatility, Jubak's work is recommended to readers interested in a broad economic view with complementary investment advice.--Lawrence Maxted, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
