How to Hedge Metals: A Complete Guide to Hedging for Companies that Produce, Consume, and Trade Physical Metals
by Lesley CampbellHow to Hedge Metals is an important resource for all traders, whether new graduates or seasoned directors, and is written in simple, precise, and clear terms. It is engaging and accessible – a good read rather than a reference book – and provides solutions to the problems caused by metal price volatility. It walks through the entire hedging process, starting long before the first futures trade, with a discussion on risk tolerance and appetite. It explains how the world’s major futures exchanges work; but more importantly, it explains how futures and options can solve physical trading problems. Written entirely from a hedger’s perspective, How to Hedge Metals answers questions on issues such as Quotational Periods, option premiums, and backwardations. The aim of the book is not to promote hedging; some companies will learn how to minimise risk by changing their physical contracts, while others may conclude that the level of risk they face is acceptable. For those who decide to hedge there is a step-by-step guide to preparation, implementation, and evaluation of a hedging strategy, as well as case studies to illustrate how strategies have gone wrong in the past. Whatever their business model and knowledge of commodity markets, metal producers, fabricators and traders will understand what they can realistically achieve with a hedging program, and how to achieve it. This book deals with real world problems – contracts that are not in convenient 25 tons multiples, customers, and suppliers who change their minds, shipments that are delayed and markets that inexplicably move in ways that seem to defy the laws of supply and demand. Written by a respected industry expert who has worked for trading companies, banks, brokers, and the London Metal Exchange (LME), it uses simple language and engaging graphics to show how futures and options can offer protection from the increasing volatility of metal prices.

How to Hit a Curveball
by Mark Levine Scott R. Singer"None of us knows what the future holds. But once you've learned how to confront and overcome the unexpected, this lack of knowledge will cease to make you anxious. Tomorrow will no longer be something to fear. And believe me, that's a great feeling" As a professional, you want to be ready for anything. You'll spend hours, days, even years, perfecting your technique, studying the competition and stepping up to challenges in order to make yourself an all-star. But at some point in your life, regardless of what you do or how far up the ladder you've climbed, you will be thrown a curveball-an unexpected challenge that comes at you quickly and without warning. The kind that forces you to rethink, well, everything. Whether it's the loss of a job, a newly assigned responsibility at work, or a global recession that threatens your entire company or industry, an unanticipated change can knock even the most experienced among us off guard. So if you want to succeed in business-and in life-it's not enough to be the smartest in the room or even the hardest working; you have to be a great curveball hitter. Investment banker Scott R. Singer learned this lesson the hard way. But after a series of career challenges and personal setbacks, he started to develop a new approach to dealing with unforeseen problems by adopting a new attitude toward life. He realized that curveballs are a part of the game and the greatest players know how to knock them out of the park. Singer shares his personal story and insights as well as those of some prominent curveball hitters he interviewed, such as Leslie Moonves of CBS, Alan Schwartz of Bear Stearns, and actor Michael J. Fox. Singer's rules for surviving and thriving when faced with uncertainty include: Step up to the plate: Accept what's happened; don't fight it. Tell others right away, and let them help. Be the batter, not the ball: Don't let your imagination get the best of you. Be a realist, not a pessimist. Keep your eye on the ball: Focus on what you can do instead of worrying about what might happen or what's beyond your control. This fun yet practical book is full of valuable advice and anecdotes that can help anyone avoid striking out at work (or at home) and maybe even turn those surprising challenges into tremendous opportunities.

How to Influence Others at Work: Psychoverbal Communication For Managers
by Dick McCannBeing able to influence others is absolutely vital to the business manager who is not only responsible for their own destiny, but also the well-being of their staff and the future of their company. Getting people to do what you want them to has occupied the minds of generations of scholars, not to mention dictators. Among the former, the psychologist Carl Jung was perhaps the most prominent. His concepts of the extroverted and introverted personality, of archetypes and of the unconscious are now widely accepted. However, to understand and benefit properly from Jung, you need years of training. Fortunately though, Professor McCann has adapted Jung's ideas to the workplace and made them easy for us to understand. Not only that, in How to Influence Others at Work, he also combines his own remarkable techniques with those of neurolinguistics, resulting in an easy to digest volume which shows how all of us can use influence to our own ends.In this second edition the author has included a new chapter on communication channels. This chapter gives practical guidance on how to improve awareness in all aspects of communications.
