This week we are privileged to be hosting John Looby on the podcast to talk about his new book "In Search of Returns: Making Sense of Financial Markets". If you would like to buy John's book - https://amzn.to/3fPlIncOn this podcast we talk about how to hunt returns while limiting risks, the current macro landscape, making haste slowly and making money off what you can't predict. Negative official interest rates are the new normal in Europe and, unsurprisingly, the resulting hunt for returns has heightened the lure of financial markets. With deposit rates going negative and deposit sizes going skyward, it seems timely to consider how such savings might be invested. Financial markets are fascinating but successful investing is not easy. While the future looms as unknowable as ever, IN SEARCH OF RETURNS will help you to: evaluate the relationship between ‘expected’ risk and returns in financial decision-making; understand different investment asset classes and investment strategies; and appreciate the influence of cognitive biases in asset pricing and investment behaviour. It’s a timely guide to making sense of the financial markets.John has worked in the Financial Markets since 1990 in roles spanning Fixed Income, Absolute Return and Equities. An economics graduate of UCD with additional post-graduate qualifications from TCD & DCU.  He has been a regular contributor of opinion pieces to the national press and now contributes exclusively to www.thecurrency.news. John has also been the author of multiple books, including Money Mayhem - The Bewildering Consequences of Cutting Money Free, Troubled Times: Investing Through the Troika Years and In Search of Returns: Making Sense of Financial Markets. 

We are very privileged to welcome Donald MacKenzie onto the podcast this week to talk about his new book "Trading at the Speed of Light: How Ultrafast Algorithms are Transforming Financial Markets" releasing on the 25th of May. In today’s financial markets, trading floors on which brokers buy and sell shares face-to-face have increasingly been replaced by lightning-fast electronic systems that use algorithms to execute astounding volumes of transactions. Trading at the Speed of Light tells the story of this epic transformation. Donald MacKenzie shows how in the 1990s, in what were then the disreputable margins of the US financial system, a new approach to trading—automated high-frequency trading or HFT—began and then spread throughout the world. HFT has brought new efficiency to global trading, but has also created an unrelenting race for speed, leading to a systematic, subterranean battle among HFT algorithms.Donald is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Edinburgh specialising in the study of Science and Technology. Donald's research aims to throw new light on the role Science and Technology has in shaping the modern world. He has worked on topics such as how financial-market participants use mathematical models, how nuclear weapons systems are designed, and how those involved try to produce high-confidence knowledge of the safety and security of computer systems.  If you would like to purchase I have put some links below - https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691211381/trading-at-the-speed-of-lighthttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08NY31P1Z/https://uk.bookshop.org/books/trading-at-the-speed-of-light-how-ultrafast-algorithms-are-transforming-financial-markets/9780691211381WTFinanceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfnTikTok - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUjj9xV/Bitclout - https://bitclout.com/u/WTFinance
