From the Back Cover

An unparalleled opportunity to learn the investment game from the ground up, from two of today's most respected traders and investment coaches

An Indispensable Companion to The Stock Market Course

George Fontanills is one of the world's most respected traders and one of the most sought-after advisors to top financial institutions and trading firms. But he was by no means an overnight success. Fontanills learned the art and science of trading the markets the hard way-through a difficult and costly series of trials and errors. One of the most important lessons his early trading experiences taught him was that the first job of every novice trader is to acquire a thorough education about the ins and outs of the markets.

The Stock Market Course Workbook gives you the basic knowledge and skills you need to realize your dreams of success as a stock trader. In plain English, George Fontanills and expert Tom Gentile familiarize you with the ins and outs of the markets. They clearly explain all key stock market terms and procedures, assess the relative risks and benefits of stock investment, and even help you determine whether or not you are suited financially and psychologically to be a market player. The Stock Market Course Workbook then allows you to hone your knowledge with practical exercises to help further your understanding, as well as test and apply what you have learned-before you put your money in the market. The workbook includes a complete set of questions, problems, exercises, and an answer key.

The next best thing to having a top investment coach by your side every step of the way, The Stock Market Course Workbook helps you transform your dream of success as a stock trader into a golden reality.

This review is from: The Stock Market Course, Workbook (Paperback)

Like Amazon says - this book is better together with The Stock Market Course (main book.)It provides real case studies and helps test the knowledge you WILL learn if you read the other book - you can't skip an entire semester and show up for the final expecting to know the answers. Take mine and Amazon's recommendation and get both of the books together!
