From the inventor of fractal geometry, a revolutionary new theory that overturns our understanding of how markets work.
Benoit B. Mandelbrot, one of the century's most influential mathematicians, is world-famous for making mathematical sense of a fact everybody knows but that geometers from Euclid on down had never assimilated: Clouds are not round, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not smooth. To these classic lines we can now add another example: Markets are not the safe bet your broker may claim. In his first book for a general audience, Mandelbrot, with co-author Richard L. Hudson, shows how the dominant way of thinking about the behavior of markets--a set of mathematical assumptions a century old and still learned by every MBA and financier in the world--simply does not work.
As he did for the physical world in his classic The Fractal Geometry of Nature, Mandelbrot here uses fractal geometry to propose a new, more accurate way of describing market behavior. The complex gyrations of IBM's stock price and the dollar-euro exchange rate can now be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a far better model of how risky they are. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has gotten to the bottom of how financial markets really work, and in doing so, he describes the volatile, dangerous (and strangely beautiful) properties that financial experts have never before accounted for. The result is no less than the foundation for a new science of finance.
短短一个世纪不到的时间,现代金融理论从建立到发展,已经成就了一个巨大的产业。其中,资产定价模型、投资组合理论、BS期权定价公式等若干理论已经成为耳熟能详的经典,也成了大学里相关专业的必修课。同时,理论的发展带动了金融市场的蓬勃发展,市场的体量和从业人员的数量...
评分現在金融界使用很多數學、物理的學生,為甚麼?因為金融界使用許多模型,預測股市走勢,而那些模型假設股票交易和布朗運動、熱傳導等物理學現象相近。這些模型包括Black-Scholes、Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) 等。 但是分形學的創立人、數學家Benoit Mandelbrot毫不猶...
评分之前读过很多批评“市场有效性假说”这一现代金融“神学”的文章。这本书更是把有关理论中的荒谬之处揭示于众,特别是关于正态分布的假定,以及价格波动随机性(独立性)的假设。作者是较早指出厚尾问题的人之一。时至今日,厚尾问题已广为人知,但即便如此,很多人仍在不假思...
评分挺有意思的一本书。所有的model都是有问题的,那一个能给出准确结果的差model和一个不能给出准确结果的好model哪个更有用些? #这个世界上唯一不变的就是变化本身
评分分形几何的观点,对于市场来说非常重要。至少对于随机理论是一种强有力的打击。不过,也不是什么趋势技术分析的问题。很多问题,教授谈论还是比较升入的。值得看看,假如你有一些分形几何的基础。

评分老生常谈,boring
