Customer Reviews

Extremely useful, but not boring

Remember those stock market books you started to read, then put down before you gave it to Uncle Charlie. This is not that kind of book. If you're new to on-line trading, this provides some concise and essential information. If you're thinking of switching from a regular broker to on-line trading there is help. Almanac does the essentials well and then some. Much as you might turn to another kind of almanac for the phase of moon in six weeks, you turn to this for needed trading information and it's likely to be there and easy to find. The author doesn't have a miracle program to make you rich in two days. But if you pay attention to the common sense advice, you might avoid overnight poverty. And, you'll have a much better chance of achieving your financial goals.
