 where's the success? May 17, 2004
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought and read it. So where's the success? I mean the author's success as trader? I pay to see his trading statements for the last 15 years. Got to be audited statements. I mean, he says he knows what the holy grail is, how it (the market) works, how one makes money at it (the market). So he's got to have broken it right? Trading that is. (!)Or, are we talking about a DIFFERENT KIND of success???!! Success in selling the idea that he "knows" all there is know about making money at the markets? Terribly cinic in my opinion. People need to beleive in anything. Beleive Van. You are contributing to his bank account. Not one SINGLE piece of evidence is available about his success (at trading the markets). The other success is well known. Oh Aristotle, you were right! Not all those who attend the games (the olympics) are players. Some are cynics as you say and so many spectators (consumers) for both the cynics and the players. A player!
(for 4 years) So, I bought it, read it and returned it. But go ahead.
 Great read - but superficial May 5, 2004

This book introduces the reader to the importance of position sizes exit strategies , and risk management. These are all important aspects. However , inspite of the fact that the author repetedly mentions about the importance of position sizing , it is dealt with at a superficial level at best.
It looks like you have to pay additional money to go to Dr Tharp's site and buy his products , this book skims along the surface for what is supposed to be the main topic of the book
a joke May 4, 2004

If the author knows it all why doesn't he trade? If I knew it all about trading I wouldn't do anything else and I certainly wouldn't teach it ...
Simplistic, aimed for the ignorant, hopeful reader. The concept exposed is very simple: the market is random. If you bet 1% you can't loose ... at the end of the year you win. I mean Van writes that even without a method you make money like this ... you got to be kidding me!
 A Must Read. April 20, 2004

A truly great book. Practical. Well written. I came away with more knowledge I can actually apply from this book than anything else I've read. Not for beginners. But an absolutely invaluable book!

The book is very well written and covers material that is important to new and/or experienced traders. The information I've learned by far exceeds the price of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who contemplates trading.
