Customer Reviews

Impressive
This is an impressive book - covers a massive amount of ground.

but its not about investing - this is about speculation (i.e. how to lose lots of money in a few days)

chapters 1-6 are a good intro to investing - some very good insights.

7 to 11 is an objective look at technical analysis, which is total psuedo-science. read these chapters for insight into city games, but i suggest you put your faith in real investing rather then hoping for share price fluctuations.

the rest of the book is about other ways of investing - some very high risk methods. again useful for info.

the book is an excellent insight into how speculators work and the wacky, random, and largely futile world of speculators.

Glen arnold's book "investing" published by FT is probably the only book most private investors need.

i've given 4 stars because the book covers the subject in a thorough, honest and witty way.
