Samenvatting van het boek

Larry, een scherpe observator van de financiële markten, vertelt over zijn parcours in de wereld van de speculatie, waar intuïtie, strategie en koelbloedigheid essentieel zijn. Hij beschrijft zijn successen, zijn fouten en de psychologische mechanismen die investeringsbeslissingen sturen. Via zijn ervaringen onthult hij de onzichtbare regels die de markten en het menselijk gedrag beheersen. Dit relaas biedt een concreet kijkje in de speculatie en legt de nadruk op discipline en helderheid van denken. De auteur presenteert een directe en pragmatische reflectie over risico, kansen en zelfbeheersing.

İlkokulu bitirir bitirmez çalışmaya başladım.

I went to work when I was just out of grammar school.

Bir borsa aracı kurumunda kotasyon tahtasına fiyat yazan çocuk olarak iş buldum.

I got a job as quotation-board boy in a stock-brokerage office.

Rakamlarda hızlıydım.

I was quick at figures.

Okulda üç yıllık aritmetiği bir yılda bitirmiştim.

At school I did three years of arithmetic in one.

Özellikle zihinden hesapta çok iyiydim.

As quotation-board boy I posted the numbers on the big board in the customers’

O büroda daha pek çok çalışan vardı.

Elbette öteki gençlerle arkadaş oldum,

Of course I made friends with the other fellows,

ama yaptığım iş,

but the work I did,

sabah saat ondan

kept me too busy from ten A.M.

öğleden sonra üçe kadar

to three P.M.

beni öyle meşgul ederdi ki pek konuşmaya fırsat kalmazdı.

to let me do much talking.

Zaten pek hoşlanmam bundan,

I don’t care for it,

nasılsa,

anyhow,

iş saatlerinde.

during business hours.

Ama hareketli bir piyasa, işi düşünmeme engel olmazdı.

But a busy market did not keep me from thinking about the work.

O kotasyonlar benim için hisse senedi fiyatları,

Those quotations did not represent prices of stocks to me,

hisse başına şu kadar dolar anlamına gelmiyordu.

so many dollars per share.

Onlar sayılardı.

bir anlamları vardı.

Bilmiyordum.

I didn’t know.

Umurumda da değildi.

Bunu düşünmüyordum.

I didn’t think about that.

durmadan değiştikleri.

De voordelen van de tweetalige methode met weergave Regel voor regel gesynchroniseerd

Elke regel van de oorspronkelijke tekst heeft de vertaling er meteen onder, op dezelfde hoogte. U hoeft nooit te zoeken waar u gebleven bent: uw oog zakt één regel en vindt precies de zin terug die u net gelezen hebt. Dit is de opmaak waarmee u aan een boek kunt beginnen in een taal die u nauwelijks beheerst zonder ooit af te haken, en waarmee u beide teksten bijna woord voor woord kunt vergelijken.
