  Hedge Fund Risk Fundamentals: Solving the Risk Management And Transparency Challenge (275 pages, $65 hardcover, 2004, ISBN 1576601633) by Richard Horwitz, published by Bloomberg Press.

In the constantly evolving hedge fund marketplace, nothing is more central than risk. Yet there remains no standard for analyzing and measuring risk in this largely unregulated field. This book brings these issues to the forefront, and with clarity -- and minimal math -- lays out the key components and processes in the field of hedge fund risk management. The concepts provided make for a road map that investors will find indispensable.

  Trading Against The Crowd: Profiting From Fear And Greed In Stock, Futures, And Options Markets (206 pages, $69.95 hardcover, 2004, ISBN 0471471216) by John F. Summa, published by John Wiley & Sons.

Investor sentiment can be incorporated into profitable stock and stock market trading systems. Summa explains how to use the gauges of crowd psychology, such as put/call ratios, option-implied volatility, and short sales.

This book shows how you can profit from the sentiment waves generated by the speculative crowd.
