3.0 out of 5 stars
13 diverse essays with even more diverse value/quality,
This review is from: Master Traders: Strategies for Superior Returns from Todays Top Traders (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)
If you compare this book directly with Market Wizards I & II, you will definitely be very disappointed. However, if the presence of one or two very bright ideas in one single book can already satisfy you well, you may still give it a try. IMHO, the chapter by David Miller (Keys to Biotech Investing) is outstanding, whilst the rest are just so so or even substandard. Sorry to say that there are many better alternatives in the market of the "various authors" genre, like the aforesaid ones and "Inside the House of Money" by Steven Drobny. In short, not recommended.

Ground Truth,

This review is from: Master Traders: Strategies for Superior Returns from Todays Top Traders (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)
Before becoming a professional trader, I had success both on an academic, professional, and entrepreneurial level. The most important thing I learned was to find successful people who were doing what I wanted to do and then learn everything I possibly could from them. This may sound simple, but research shows successful ventures often fail right after some of their most successful years. The same thing occurs in financial trading. Someone has initial success, but then fails to adapt, grow, and change. Consequently, the market crushes them. This is usually due to being too rigid in their views or a lack of rigorous discipline that enables them to continually stay ahead of the curve. The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to study the "best" and learn how they achieved and maintain their success. In the military, there is a term called "ground truth." This information is considered the most valuable. It is distinguished from the theoretical and refers to what has actually happened on the field of battle. In his well researched book, Fari Hamzei has brought together some of most relevant voices today in investing and trading financial securities. It truly is packed with some of the most valuable "ground truth" in the field of trading. Whether it is Kevin Tuttle's insights into technical analysis, quantitative screening, and divergence theory or Tim Ord's methods in identifying buy and sell signals through evaluating volume and price, Fari Hamzei gives a rare behind the scenes look at some of the best financials professionals in the field. In addition, Hamzei's pioneering work on dollar weighted put/call ratios is an extremely valuable market sentiment indicator. I have not even mentioned Alex Jacobson, Phil Erlanger, etc... Simply put, this book is guaranteed to change the way you see the market and trade it. I whole-heartedly recommend you read and reread "Master Traders."

Good book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Master Traders: Strategies for Superior Returns from Todays Top Traders (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)
All in all I'm glad I read the book. There's a couple of chapters on options that I learned one thing that more than paid for the price of the book and my time to read it. I was a little disappointed with the book however. Most the technical analysis chapters are simply inpractical for the average home based investored to use. They would require a lot of manual number crunching, or a subscription to a website.
But still, there were some gems in the book, and I've changed the way I would enter some options trades after reading it, so it still gets 5 stars.
