A cutting-edge guide to the world´s stock markets.
Stock markets were a mixed bag in 2020. The Nasdaq finished the year up over 44%, while the UK’s FTSE 100 posted a 14% loss. This book explains why neither market will repeat those runs anytime soon.
Finding the market that best treats your savings is a challenge. Using data on past trends and cycles, Dr. David J. Howden provides a roadmap for the next decade of equity returns. This almanac of stock indexes from around the world takes the reader on a centuries-long tour of the most widely traded stock markets and points to where they will go in the future—and where to secure superior returns.
