To know the trend, spot the trend, or shape the trend is to make money.

The trend is your friend-investors know that. But the biggest money comes from the biggest events. The more delta, the more alpha.

In that spirit, The Secret of Directional Investing offers a new way of thinking about investing, steeped in culture and history. Focusing on megatrends, this book points out ways to profit from an understanding of two kinds of trends: those that can be spotted, and those that can be shaped. There's money in both. The Romans weren't kidding when they said, Audentes Fortuna luvat-Fortune favors the bold. The Secret of Directional Investing is a bold look at investments and potential investments.
