3.0 out of 5 stars OK if you like Trading Books, January 1, 2002

By	Jack McGrath (Cyberworld, USA) - See all my reviews

The interviews in this book were interesting if you enjoy reading trading books. Even one or two usable nuggets of information for traders. However, if you are looking for a "how to book" you should look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars A moderate trading book, June 26, 2003

By	ServantofGod - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

If you are a casual amateur investor who enjoys reading trading books of the interview type, this is okay. If you aspire to be a pro and are actually a pro, you wont be satisfied with the depth and width of it. The trading styles of the interviewees, and so are the Q&As, are just so diverse that one can hardly grasp something "profitable" to his/her own trading. Of course, most of them do mention "no loss averaging, keep losses small, have discipline" blah blah blah, but do most of the trading books talk about the same stuff?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of a Book, February 16, 2001

By	Liang Chu - See all my reviews

This is by far the most insightful book of its kind that I'v read. This is not just another beginner's guide, but one that contains valuable trading ideas that I can use to make money and trade more effectively. The interviews offer an excellent balance of advice on trading techniques, money management, and trading discipline.
