2.0 out of 5 stars Text Book of "Futures", January 6, 2005
This review is from: Futures: A Personal Seminar (Paperback)
A concise guide to what futures are and an introduction to the mechanism of futures trading. Its definition is more official than the ones you probably find in websites. It is outdated by the automation of a lot of the processes mentioned in the book.
This book could be a great teaching tool for high school students who are interested in knowing what futures are. The outdated parts would not change the underlying principles of futures trading thus the value of the book is still there.
If it is ten years ago, I would give this book at least 4 stars as it delivers clearly what futures are.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner book, but dated., November 23, 2004

This review is from: Futures: A Personal Seminar (Paperback)
This is a great book. Breaks things down to simple terms. You will need additional books if you wish to do more than learn the basics.

This book shows its age. Some of the terms and processes are not used any more. Technology provides more data (you don't need to look up prices in the newspaper, you have the Internet!).

This book is a great find for those curious, or just starting out.
