Horse Tradin' Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Whoever said that Green's stories were hokey must be young, and not appreciative of bootstrap operations. Ben Green was a self-made man, sizing up opportunities as an enterprising youngster. He shows determination, he demonstrates decision-making skills, and he always plays within the framework, ever...

Channel Surfing: Riding the Waves of Channels to Profitable Trading Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book has some excellent information in it, and I would not hesitate to recommend it for intermediate-level traders.

Drummer in the Dark (Marcus Glenwood Series #2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)T. Davis Bunn keeps getting better. Wow! I thought he'd found his niche with "The Great Divide" (his legal thriller), but this book of political and financial intrigue raises the standard even higher. I'm not a big stocks and funds enthusiast, but Bunn manages to create a suspenseful and well-researched...

Electronic Exchanges: The Global Transformation from Pits to Bits (Elsevier and Iit Stuart Center for Financial Markets Press) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Pits to Bits gives a very thorough and clear picture of the exchange world over the past 100+ years and today. This is a dynamic and passionate world. The book gets a bit long-winded at times, but all in all, the book is both educational and enjoyable. Kudos to authors Gorham and Singh.Click Here to...

The Voyageur Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Grace Lee Nute's The Voyageur depicts significant figures in American and Canadian history who have received little attention.

The Trust: A Secret Society Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Reviewed by Avni Gupta (age 17) for Reader Views (4/11)When I received "The Trust," I was a little apprehensive about reading it at the beginning, because of the fact that I had heard that sequels are never as good as the originals (and really though, it is very true with some of the books I've read...

The Ultimate Trading Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's not easy for me to review this book. If I were a beginner I don't think i'd go very far with it. To the more experienced trader, he will surely find something to suite his whatever style of trading, but never leading you to the point of re-thinking a trading system... unless you were losing money...

Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Overall, a first-rate biography, both from a military and from psychological and spiritual sense.
