Fortune's Formula pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In 1956 two Bell Labs scientists discovered the scientific formula for getting rich. One was mathematician Claude Shannon, neurotic father of our digital age, whose genius is ranked with Einstein's. The other was John L. Kelly, Jr., a Texas-born, gun-toting physicist. Together they applied the science of information theory--the basis of computers and the Internet--to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible.
Shannon and MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the "Kelly formula" to the roulette and blackjack tables of Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market, specifically in the risky trading known as arbitrage. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenonally successful hedge fund Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett's rate of return and using his wealth to drop out of the scientific world. Fortune's Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks. It reveals the dark side of this alluring scheme, which is founded on exploiting an insider's edge. The cast of character spans J. Edgar Hoover, Rudolph Giuliani, Michael Milken and Warren Buffett; Hollywood producers, Wall Street crooks, snarky Nobel Laureates, and the Jewish mob.
Fortune's Formula explores a new and surprising side to the Shannon legacy. Based in part on Shannon's previously unseen personal records as well as interviews with both of Shannon's wives, Thorp, and many others, it is the first full-length treatment of a subject that is changing ideas about finance. Claude Shannon believed it was possible for a smart investor to beat the market--and Fortune's Formula will convince you he was right.

巴菲特说过,有了足够的内部消息,再加上100万美元,你可能会在一年内破产。看了这本书后,我认为我有1%机会会爆仓,但是有99%机会成为亿万富翁。我们可以在中国股市中明显地看到这一点。 凯利公式的应用前提,很像《孙子兵法》中所说的,知己知彼,百战不殆。凯利公式是一...
评分沃伦·巴菲特惊讶于“10或者15个平均智商在170左右的家伙”是如何让自己陷入“输光所有钱的境地”的。这可以追溯到1738年,和丹尼尔·伯努利的观点差不多。当时他写道:“无论可能获得多高的收益,冒险赌上全部财产的人都像是个傻瓜。” 天才败于过度贪婪。 约翰·凯利的风险哲...
评分凯利公式自发现以来运用于赌场、股市等博弈环境,核心思想是:1、多头下注,减少破产风险;2、根据赔率和胜率计算出下注比例,用该数学模型可以提高总体收益。凯利公式计算稍微复杂,在《赌神数学家》中简化其公式:下注比例=胜率/赔率(详细示例见书)。 在该书中有运用该公式...
评分 评分这是众多名家推崇的一本书,我没法不说好。但是最起码从现在讲,它对我没用。也许人物和故事是最大的收获了,他们应该是现代QUANT们的先驱。 所谓凯利的原则,让我的理解就是:控制好自己的头寸,在大概率优势的情况下下大注,在不利的情况下下小注。它可以让你在500轮以后赚到...
