While extreme volatility is nothing new in finance the recent downturn caught many off guard indicating that the traditional approach to decision making had let them down. Introducing a new framework for handling and evaluating extreme risk Posner draws on years of experience to show how decision makers can best cope with the " Black Swans" of our time. Posner's shrewd assessment combines the classic fundamental research approach of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd with more recent developments in cognitive science computational theory and quantitative finance. He outlines a probabilistic approach to decision making that involves forecasting across a range of scenarios and he explains how to balance confidence react accurately to fast - breaking information overcome information overload zero in on the critical issues penetrate the information asymmetry shielding corporate executives and integrate the power of human intuition with sophisticated analytics.
