Stock-market

Don't expect to learn much from this book. Strategies are all well known. Buy low and sell high. If you think that you are going to make a lot of money just by reading this book, think twice. Make no mistakes. The author suggests some risky (some very risky) strategies and the stock market is not all roses like the book wants you to believe.

I've read some of the previous reviews that dislike the lack of technical analysis, especially in the beginning of the book. However, I must say that this book is about how someone could make a living by trading in the stock market, including setting up his own home office, incorporating, among other things not directly associated to trading stocks or options.

With that said, I believe this book is quite good. Its main objective is to give a trading novice a solid footing in what it takes to make a living by trading in the stock and options markets. It is a fast read that does not delve too much into the products Mr. Eldridge's company sells, but stays with the point of the book.

If you're looking for in-depth technical analysis of stocks, you might be disappointed in this book. However, if you're looking for a quick read that could benefit your portfolio or might quicken your transition from your day job to trading full-time, this is the book for you.

Great book to begin the journey of trading in the stock market. Wonderfully written and helps build a foundation for beginning traders.
