FIND THE MOST LUCRATIVE MARKETS OF THE FUTURE BY LOOKING TO THE PAST
Some of the biggest technologicalinnovations in the world have followed similar market and social patterns–skepticism is replaced by enthusiasm; venture capital is supplied; many companies are started and their stocks rise. But as the technology is developed and financial reality sets in, many companies disappear, stocks collapse, and naïve investors lose money.
Through exhaustive research, Alasdair Nairn captures this pattern and examines the impact that some of the greatest technological inventions of the past two hundred years have had on financial markets and investors’ fortunes. Each chapter explores a different technological innovation, and provides valuable insights on how to apply these lessons to appraise the "new technology" companies of the future. Some of the key historical episodes examined include: Electric light and its commercial exploitation The railroad boom in Britain and the United States The development of the automobile industry The discovery and early development of crude oil The rise of the PC The wirelessworld The Internet and dot-com bubble
Don’t be left behind when the next technological innovation revolutionizes the market. With Engines That Move Markets you’ll learn how to recognize the familiar patterns unfolding in today’s economy so you can profit from these market-shaping events.
