Profiting in Bull or Bear Markets by George Dagnino is a complete, practical guide to navigating the markets through all economic conditions. Dagnino, one of the most respected economists and former Chief Economist at Goodyear, explains how investors and traders can use macroeconomic cycles, interest-rate behavior, inflation dynamics, and business cycle indicators to position themselves effectively in both rising and falling markets.
The book teaches how markets behave during different economic phases and how traders can anticipate turning points before they become obvious on price charts. Dagnino integrates economic forecasting with tactical portfolio strategy, demonstrating how to move capital between equities, bonds, commodities, and cash depending on where the economy sits in its cycle.
Inside the PDF, numerous charts illustrate past bull and bear markets, interest-rate shifts, and inflation-adjusted returns. Dagnino’s approach emphasizes risk management, asset rotation, sector strength, and economic confirmation, giving traders and investors a blueprint for long-term consistency.

An excellent book… to study and reread.
The study of economic cycles and the consequent movement of the stock market are at the center of the discussion, with continuous references to other assets and intermarket cross-links.
A must for investors in stocks and bonds.
Recommended and recommended for both experienced and novice investors.

Very useful and interesting.

I have read several books regarding the stock market, charting and so forth that pretty much left much to be desired. And after the stock market fiasco of 2000 – 2001 where virtually everyone’s equity evaporated, many people were left asking themselves, what happened? George Dagnino’s book explains the concepts of the business cycle and how all economic factors correlate together. It gives you a clear outlook on how to anticipate market trends, keep an eye on indicators and protect your investment.
Overall, probably THE best book I have ever read on the economy and the stock market.

Like most of the small handful of great investment books, not many know about this one but that is their loss. If you want to find the best investment books, stay away from the Cramer series and the ones that are top sellers because they are the same song and dance and do not teach you any skills. Another peice of advice is to steer clear of investment books written by professors since they have no real experience managing assets.
Dagnino’s book is one of the very best and it is essential if you want a chance to become a great investor. Make no mistake though, following Dagnino’s approach will not in itself lead you to riches. It is just one of many skills you must acquire in the long and very difficult process of becoming a good and then great investor.
I am an investment professional and this book is a critical read for novices and pros alike.

read it before you invest.

I suppose you can take this information and create some kind of long-term investment plan. However, I don’t believe the book lives up to the title.
Kamryn Ayala (verified owner) –
GREAT read, really drives home the longer term cyclical nature of the market based on the influence monetary policy has on the economy. Really drives home the effect inflation and real short term interest rates have on the market.
Kara Sanford (verified owner) –
This book is excellent. I continuously read investment books and have read hundreds. This is one of the few that I’d rate as an absolute must read if you want to be an investor/trader. This book gives THE foundation for how and why markets move. The reason is because of the economy and specifically the business cycle. Books on technical trading are the superficial topping but this is the deep substance to what is causing the overall price movements and asset rotations. He breaks down each topic and weaves all of them together into a whole to explain how they all are related and work together. Read the superficial stuff if you want to try to make some money by getting lucky, read this book if you want to truly understand the market forces and learn how to be a professional investor and make profits consistently.

Very interesting and thorough presentation on the interrelationships of market forces, stock market cycles, economic cycles, currency, interest rates and inflation. Lots of information.
Miracle Joseph (verified owner) –
Highly recommend this book for serious investors. Great information I wish I had years ago. It has a combination of economic and technical indicators to understand where the economy is going and how to invest in different times.

This book is a must read for anyone who wants to know the true secret behind long term success in investing. Millions of individuals take part in investing each year, only a few discover what it takes to survive beyond a bull market and then go on to realize how incredibly hard it is to survive bear markets. George’s book provides the core information an investor needs to know about the different types of cycles involved in the markets and economy at all times. A successful investor knows most importantly where the markets are within each type of cycle. This knowledge opens the door for an investor to know which asset to invest in at each specific turning point in the cycle. George provides clarity of the big picture, its up to you learn and understand how it all fits together. Achieve that understanding and the opportunities are endless.
