Testimonials

I'm sitting reading your book and I just have to tell you that SO far it's REALLY good. It's invaluable really (and even after all this time spent there are things that are being made clearer to me simply by virtue of the fact that they're being CLEARLY explained by people who KNOW what they're talking about)!!! It's 'Gold' for a new trader.

Dale P.

I must admit to finishing the book within a few days of receiving it - if only it were required reading for new traders. From my perspective, being involved one way or another with the markets for nearly 10 yrs, and working as an analyst a bank, I found it a great compendium of much of the basic need to know lessons that most new traders won't learn for years - especially that if they are still in the game for that long they'll realize it's not a road to easy riches.

Aaron C.

As for your e-book, what a great idea! I especially like the fact that you bring in multiple points of view when answering the questions. And your team of contributors, what can be said about them but WOW. What an awesome assortment of industry traders and veterans! And like you've stated, you cover a vast array of topics - all the hot button items that first come to mind for a new trader. Good job.

Winston E.

John Forman has again put together a great resource for new and seasoned traders alike. The format is simple and convenient - just browse topics that look appealing and jump right to the section. There are a wide variety of great topics on trading - from the very practical (What is the difference between stop and limit orders?) to the more theoretical (How can I overcome my fear of pulling the trigger?). It's always interesting to hear multiple perspectives and that's what John has provided. A variety of trading experts weigh in on each topic with something to learn for each response. A great resource!
