Personal-finance

I only gave 1 star because they won't let you give no stars. This type of trading book goes under the genre of 'very expensive because theoretically, you can get your money back by making just one winning trade.' Don't fall for it: this book (at app. $1.00 per page!) is absolute and total rubbish. Basically, it tells you to look for a stock making a 20 day high, then after a one day pause, enter the breakout on the so called 'trigger' day. But get this: on page 22, the author(s) make the following stunning admission and I quote: "As you can see, this method is simple and easy to identify. Here is the catch: Most trigger days will never occur. This is one of the keys."

Can you believe that?? If most trigger days NEVER occur, then what the heck are you looking for? The authors provide some arcane and screwy explanation, saying that you are looking for many small trades with minimal losses and app. 1 in 6 or so trades will work. Aha, so that's the KEY? (LOL). Hey, aren't we ALL looking for many small trades with minimal losses? Problem is, tradiung is an extremely difficult and complex thing to do, thousands of books have been written on the subject, and the above method is surely not THE ONE.

As if this isn't bad enough, the book is poorly written with very weak and incomplete examples. For example, the so called 20 day high, pause and trigger days are shown by a series of seemingly random OHCL bars, but what exactly are we looking for here? Dojis, high-low, low-high bars and in what sequence? Also, no examples of securities with precise entry points in terms of price are given.

Readers should always be extremely wary of home grown trading books (this one appears to be self-published), written by folks without established financial credentials trying to snag a quick buck from information-hungry or novice traders. Truly shameful.

The book is only 40 pages, but it gives the reader and in-depth explanation of one trading strategy. Setups for this strategy don't occur on an everyday basis, so you can't use this strategy for your everyday trading. What I really liked is how the explanations of this one strategy taught me to look at specific components of trading setups and helped me develop and track my own trading strategies. Not great, but very good.

Simplicity. There is nothing like it. I have often thought that the simplest method can often yield the best results in all areas of life. This strategy is no different. For those of you with backgrounds in technical trading, I think that you will really appreciate what this book has to offer. Folks who are not familiar with moving averages and bar charts may not be able to fully appreciate the power of this simple strategy. In any case, if you need a strategy that will help you find trading opportunities day-in and day-out, then you should give this book a good, long look.

I found this book very interesting. It opened my eyes to a wide gammet of possibilities even though not all of them applied to me personally. At times the content deviated from that implied by the title, but it was always connected in some way. I would would recomend this book to anyone considering improvement of their financial position in life.

This is a great book for anyone who want to save money while at the same time grow your personal investments. There are some great tips within the pages of this terrific advise filled book. Personally I have learned to put away more money each months with this tips and leaned to cut my expenses and grow my portfolio. A definite buy.

If you can use the internet, you do not need this book. There are no "big secrets" or earth-shaking revelations here. The information presented in this book is free to anyone who can do an internet search on whatever subject they are interested in. The only thing I learned from this book is how to compile readily available information and sell it for a profit. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

All of those useful little tidbits of information people always end up learning the hard way are in this book. There is almost too much useful consumer information in here. I am sure this book will save me a huge amount of trouble later in life. If you've ever wanted a book that could instill years of knowledge and experience to help you out with all sorts of monetary concerns, this is the book for you.

I was impressed with the sheer volume and accuracy of the information contained in this book. It is filled with many benefits, and the future savings in dollars is just amazing.

Cynthia Yates is an inspiration for anyone that wants (or needs) to tighten their belts without feeling completely deprived. Her upbeat attitude and sense of humor make this a fun read. Her tips range from grocery shopping and cooking tips to gift giving to entertaining to big ticket items to maintaining things we already own, and more. This book has many good ideas that are easy to implement. Ms. Yates makes you stop and think how a lot of things we think of as necessary can be either done without or obtained in a more intelligent way. Nothing fancy here-just common sense and a well thought out approach to making it in a tight economy, especially helpful if you are new at scaling down. She is a Christian author who is quick to tell her readers that God comes first in her life, however her ideas work well for anyone who sees a need to get a grip on their spending. To fully benefit from this book be prepared to "roll up your sleeves."

They have missed the point. When asked by the IRS to conduct an audit of your return, the very best thing to say is, "Is it mandatory or voluntary for me to let you see my private books and records?" Just watch, they will never answer - because it's VOLUNTARY! The courts have said so! It HAS TO BE voluntary, otherwise it would be a violation of your 4th and 5th amendment rights! You NEVER have to let the IRS see your records - even if they send you a summons, all you do is show up and claim the 5th each time they ask a question, or to see a document!! The book never tell you this!! So it is ultimately not helpful.

If you want to protect yourself against the IRS, you should start by asking why you need the protection to begin with. Books like this are all about trying to "play the game" as shrewedly as you can. This is absurd, since you're playing odds as much as you are playing the game. the IRS doesn't care about you or the Constitution, it cares about quotas and scaring you into submission.

Freedom is your birthright as an American. SEIZE IT! Read "Freedom in Chains" by James Bovard and "Your Money or your Life" by Sheldon Richman and "Why we mustAbolish the income tax" by Nelson Hultberg. These books point the way to freedom rather than more pointless submission.
