Einmal ist es der Aktienmarkt, dann der Rentenmarkt oder der Immobilienmarkt. Dies ist das erste Buch, das den Versuch unternimmt, zu erklären, warum bestimmte Investitionen zu verschiedenen Zeiten in die Höhe geschnellt sind, damit Investoren ähnliche Trends in Zukunft rechtzeitig erkennen können. Jedes Kapitel vermittelt dem Leser einen echten Einblick in die Ereignisse der 10 besten Hausse-Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Unterhaltsam und fesselnd geschrieben, gespickt mit zahlreichen historischen Anekdoten und schillernden Persönlichkeiten aus der jeweiligen Zeit, ist dieses Buch eine willkommene Lektüre nicht nur für Investoren, Finanzexperten, Journalisten und Studenten der Finanz- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften, sondern ebenso für Interessierte Laien.
