Editorial Reviews

Review

Finally an in-depth look at commodities, all aspects, the whole ball of wax, no punches pulled... look out boys there's a new sheriff in town. -- Joseph Santagata, President, All American Copper Inc.

George's creative ideas not only will benefit the novice trader, but reminded me of things I know I should do but don't always remember. If you are thinking of speculating in commodities, don't make a move until you read this book! -- Kevin G. McCormac, Independent Floor Trader, New York Mercantile Exchange

In a very folksy style, he casually goes through the basics of trading future and option in a thoroughly reader friendly and informative style. Once again I read the basic definitions of futures and options contracts, but - for once - there was also something to entertain even a more experienced trader such as me. -- Applied Derivatives Trading, March 1998

Mastering Commodity Futures and Options makes both delightfully interesting and enticingly motivational reading. When finished with Kleinman's book, one will be amply equipped to enter the frenetic world of commodities. As Linus has his blanket, I suggest keeping George's book nearby. -- William G. Salatich, Board of Directors, Chicago Mercantile Exchange

This is a readable and understandable book about intense and complicated parts of the financial industry written by someone who does it for a living. -- Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, June 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent strategies- definitely worth picking up, August 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Commodity Futures & Options: A Step-by-Step Guide to Successful Trading (Ft) (Paperback)
Having read more than 50 books on trading and the markets, it took me by surprise to find so much fresh material in this one. The strategy overviews were great- like the flexibility value of synthetic calls and puts, the use of backspreads to profit from volatile moves, or the correct way to pyramid, to give just a few examples. I've found that a majority of books on trading are either largely autobiographical or else they only cover the same old ground in some form or another (cut your losses, let your profits run, don't get emotional, yada yada yada)- but this one actually offers fresh, workable strategies and valuable insights. If you trade, or are thinking about trading, definitely pick this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterly., February 29, 2000
This review is from: Mastering Commodity Futures & Options: A Step-by-Step Guide to Successful Trading (Ft) (Paperback)
Very well written and even entertaining in places, this book has lots of nuts and bolts you won't find in other primers, like the best explanation of First Notice Day and Last Trading Day I've seen anywhere. The section on choosing a broker is not very useful, but everything else is. You get a good treatment of Fundamental Analysis in addition to Technical Analysis, and two chapters on moving average systems, which Kleinman considers THE most valuable trading tools. If you're looking to start trading futures (mastery takes 5-10 years), make this one of the first five books you read.

By 
This review is from: Mastering Commodity Futures & Options: A Step-by-Step Guide to Successful Trading (Ft) (Paperback)
An extremely well written primer for the novice and polisher for the expert. An absolute plethora of information and advice for those at any stage of commodity trading. The "bible" for traders.
