5.0 out of 5 stars Opportunities In the Penny Stock Market, May 15, 2008

This review is from: The Penny Stock Millionaire: Fortunes in Mini-Stocks (Paperback)

Dominic has a little gem here. Actually a 268 page jewel. The penny stock market is certainly not for everyone, and as the author discusses, involves making speculative trades in what may be described as a volatile market.

But this volatility is exactly what penny stock investing is all about. This book will help you understand the risks, find the best stocks to trade, and understand how the penny stock market operates.

Trust me, success in the NASDAQ and NYSE marketplaces does not guarantee success in the pinksheets. This is a unique environment that demands your attention and careful stock selection. I would not try to venture into these shark infested waters without protection. This book will help shield you from the pump and dump schemes that abound in this market, and point you in the right direction for making huge profits.

Go easy. Know what you are doing. And, research your trades at palces like penny-stock-advisor, otcbb, and pinksheets dot com.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, laughably edited, self-published disappointment., January 1, 2009

From the cover illustration that looks like it was created on a Kinko's copier, to the run-on sentences, mis-spellings, and countless sentence fragments found within, this self-published book leaves a lot to be desired. Much of the information contained within its pages is relevant and useful, but you'll have to wade through a lot of repetitive garbage, dated references, and childish, photocopy-quality illustrations to get to it.

Had this book been submitted to and edited by a legitimate publishing company, a much smaller, far better, well-illustrated version might have resulted, and that would have been the book I expected this one to be.

I am returning my copy to Amazon for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disorganized, cynic, self-promotion with outdated illustrations and biased examples, March 30, 2009

I can't express my anger and disappointment, that amazon allows to sell such an issues along with serious investment literature. I could write this review endlessly, expressing all the terrible things this "book" has but me just share a most popular highlights of this "book":

- How, can this happen in a material (this can't be named a book), published in 2008, someone is so cynic that allows himself use ALL EXAMPLES, from 1999-2000 years? Just how one can be so cynic to use those 1000 % and more gains as examples in a book published now?
- How someone could be so cynic just few pages apart, use examples already from 2003, showing how "dangerous" is to hold MSFT or GM, "because you see, how they lost 50 %".
- Every second page suddenly are interrupted by CAPS locked (!) headlines - just to give you an example, here I copy one: MICROCAP STOCK RISES 225,000 % (I think you no need guess long time WHO, recommended this stock before it flew (yeah, of course Mr. Author, did)
- To illustrate something (but I could not catch idea what), author places sometimes in a book a copy of check (!) on his name showing that "you see I really bought 2000 pcs of this stuff"
- How can it be, that material published in 2008 uses old copies of graphs, that looks like hand made by Edward Maggie in dawn on technical analysis? Some even has a handmade notes on them. This is what? We do not deserve to see clear graphs or what?
- All the time author says, no no no do not trust gurus, but then few pages after, gives as he says unbiased list of penny stock newsletter websites. Unbiased of course in this authors understanding. It's so childish that I laughed, just look: He says "I do not recommend any particular website". And then comes list of websites, where all are make in small italic font, and the most top one, is normal font, and first letters of words in URL are caps locked. It's not funny already
- Normally the books are organized in some way. This material isn't. Same examples about 500000 % gains, appear again and again, and terribly caps locked headlines with PENNY STOCK GAINS 10000 % IN A WEEK!!! - yes, exactly - in a "book" this author uses !!! - three times, appears on every page. Tables showing (and ALL examples are from 1999), gains appear on every third page. And not because it's logically to put it there, but just because it's copy pasted there. You are trying to weed through this saying, ok, when? When will be meat? And nope. You are at the end of book, and you got nothing but this disgusting self promoting material
- It's my 51th, I guess review on amazon already, but first time I want to take a shower after the book. I feel dirty
