The lowest rated tranches take the first losses and so on, but investors are rewarded for taking this risk through a higher coupon. So when there is enough subordination the highest rated tranches will less likely be affected. Diversity is less of an issue in this case.

Average Rating 4 Stars! The most recent comment from a 4 Star reviewer February 23, 2000 says: "That's one thing I like about their outlook: they are willing to change their approach as they continue to learn." I'll leave people to draw their own conclusions on that one. BTW Has anyone taken you up on your offer of a free copy of the book? ;-) Hi Yon,

In, for example, the second chapter of How To Trade In Stocks entitled When Does A Stock Act Right? Jesse Livermore talks about volume. He says, for example: "At the beginning of a move you will notice a very large volume of sales with gradually advancing prices for a few days. Then what I call a 'Normal Reaction' will occur. On that reaction the sales volume will be much less than on previous days of its advance... etc." Thanks for your comment Happy.
