  1. That's unique--- never heard of this style book marketing. Perhaps the author can clarify surf

  3. I have nearly every financial/trading book published by wiley from 2005-2012--- They would send boxes full of them to my house as I was doing book reviews/interviews at tradingmarkets for a couple years but even after i stopped that gig, they kept sending the books. My ex wife's attic is chock full of unopened boxes of wiley books! LOL!

  5. Out of the 100's of trading books I have read, perhaps 5 were worthwhile. The rest are rehashes and parrot bots of the same old thing over and over.

    I learned more about the economy and markets from books that have Little to do directly with the subject.

    PS. Here's a photo of a single stack from back in the day--- these i reviewed. Lol

    I donated all mine to the local library. They now have a world class collection.

  7. Exactly. And it's usually those that aren't making any money who love to start and persist in these silly debates.

    LMAO!

    HTF do you know Fooled by Technical Analysis is a good book, surf? You've just expressed surprise at the bizarre manner by which it is being sold, so clearly you have not read it.

    But you are such major hater regarding TA that all it took was the title for you to declare it a good book, sight unseen, much less read.

    Priceless. :D

    What I noticed was that overpriced tripe will never be reviewed at Amazon. Tells me everything I need to know about it.
