Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

In addition to being a highly successful publisher of trading services, author J. Christoph Amberger is a master swordsman—two occupations that are by no means unrelated. Trading—as distinct from investing—isn't about the long-term accumulation of equity; it's about seizing the moment to maximize gains. In trading, as in swordplay, timing—knowing when to strike and when to withdraw, when to buy and when to sell—is the single most critical element; the difference between victory and defeat, profit and loss.

Those who attain a level of mastery are able to reduce volumes of information to bare essentials and to convey those essentials with artful simplicity. Such a teacher is J. Christoph Amberger, whose gift for translating complexity to clarity has made his daily e-letter, the 247profits e-Dispatch, one of the world's most popular financial dailies. Above all, mastering the market is about results, and his team of independent financial analysts, the Taipan Group, is among the most successful in the world. And now, in Hot Trading Secrets, Amberger introduces some of their exceptionally successful trading systems.

In Hot Trading Secrets, Amberger discloses thirteen secrets of profitable trading that will enable you to prosper in any financial climate. These methods have been tested and proven over time, achieving amazing results under widely varying market conditions. Applying these powerful secrets, you too will be able to master the market for maximum profit.

In Hot Trading Secrets, Amberger reveals:

• The predictive power of Dynamic Market Theory
• Why you need to cast a wide net
• How to own the future
• "Insider information" is not illegal—and why you must use it
• How to trade extreme volatility

Traders—from the novice to the veteran—will find Hot Trading Secrets to be both practical and profitable. With refreshing wit and accessibility, the author will acquaint you with some of the most successful ways of profiting in the market. Yes, the market is a hazardous place, but you can still amass a fast fortune if you know the secrets.

More About the Author

Having grown up in Cold-War West Berlin, J. Christoph Amberger emigrated to the United States in 1988. He spent more than 20 years in the financial publishing industry, first as an analyst and editor, later as executive publisher of two multi-million-dollar newsletter divisions he created from scratch. These days, he uses the insights he gathered in that period to help law-enforcement and government investigators crack down on direct-response marketing and related stock fraud schemes.

Dating from this period, his book "Hot Trading Secrets" (Wiley, 2005) predicted not just the 2008 financial crisis, but also the crumbling of the euro: "Out of all the books I've written, this one's probably my least favorite--as the concept of the imprint was entirely self-serving. Still, whenever I pick it up, I surprise myself at how reasonable most of the stuff is." You probably should read up on his Third Big Prediction... the implosion of the China Bubble. He may've been optimistic in his dating of it... but it's coming no less.

An avid competitive fencer, Amberger is considered one of the foremost authorities on Western swordplay. His 1998 book "The Secret History of the Sword" continues to be one of the perennial bestsellers of Western martial arts historiography.

In 2009, Amberger made his debut as a novelist with his conspiracy thriller "The Lazarus Smile". "It took me about 17 years to write this book. It's based on an idea I had when sitting in a preceptorial at St. John's College in the summer of '91--during one of those endless sophomoric debates about Good and Evil. Being a heathen at heart, I've always been surprised at the opacity of early Christian thought. Who, I thought, could've cooked up stuff like this? The primary suspect was Saulus of Tarsos, better known as St. Paul the Apostle. Being by nature distrustful of Pauline Conversions, I started delving into the history and writings of the Roman Empire of Paul's era... which coincides with Nero's imperium. And as first dozens and then hundreds of books accumulated in my study, a pattern began to emerge. Quite honestly, it makes as much (if not more!) sense than anything you've read before about this era. If I say so myself."

Chris Amberger currently is working on a hard-hitting "noir" thriller, "Those About to Die"--set among the conmen and thugs of 1928 New York.

3.0 out of 5 stars And the secret is......well, I wont tell you, January 14, 2006

This review is from: J. Christoph Amberger's Hot Trading Secrets: How to Get In and Out of the Market with Huge Gains in Any Climate (Hardcover)

In a pithy discussion of different trading systems,exposing a wide range of investor styles - contrarian to momentum-crowd, the book supposedly gives you "secrets". Even a casual reader of investment books know that if it is really a money-making secret the author has found, chances are it will remain secret...Or he will share it with you bit-by-bit through his subscription services. This one is no different. While the methodologies discussed here are well narrated along with good use of examples, a reader will not be able to leverage on almost everything in this book unless the reader decides to subscribe for the paid services. Having said that, the book does provide some interesting ideas. For a broadly titled book as this one, the author does manage to get into specific tactics at times. The narration is easy going, except for the not-too-welcome self promotions on almost every page. The author certainly gets the reader's attention by claims of how his firm "knew" of the impending stock market crashes due to 9/11 attacks. Enough said. An easy read, ok addition to some trading information, not a keeper.

An overpriced book acting as a promo for expensive services. I can't believe I bought this book.

Knowing that it is published by Agora, I won't even bother reading the book even if it comes for free. Agora (including Taipan newsletter), are the guys that use sharp copy writers and fictitious names and are catering to the gullable through mass mail "exclusive" offers. Stay away from it. A good chance that this book is the worst investment you make and you can't even take a put option on it!
