A Trader on Wall Street: A Short Term Traders Guide

Rating:
Summary: No Overkill
Review: I read this book as a new trader in the market. The first 5 chapters were especially helpfull in preparing me for my first trade. Many authors like to impress with fancy terms and industry specific sayings. Mr. Coval was easy to read and the information was dead on. I have read the book from cover to cover and then recommended it to my son. The chapter on market makers made a lot of sense. I now understand the price variences in everyday stock prices. The technical charting chapter was also easy to follow. The only downside I found in the book was that it was in paperback. I prefere hardback but the price was right...

Summary: Fabulous learning tool
Review: I'm a firm believer that the more difficult trading techniques are, the harder it is to make a profit. Mike Coval's book keeps it simple, and it works! Terrific book.

Summary: Worth twice the price
Review: In my short life as a trader, I have purchased well over a dozen books related to this subject. If this is not the best book, it is certainly unsurpassed. It is easy to read and very much, the kind of book you will read once... then review and reference again and again. I have been to a live seminar that Mike Coval has taught. Mike is the type of person that walks the talk. His book is a reflection of that. I can personally attest that his techniques and advice can make money in better trades and save money easily lost in costly mistakes.

Summary: Things every investor needs to know
Review: What I like best about this book is it reveals information that most people think you already know when it comes to investing. It brings insights into fundamental and techinical analysis that as an investor for over 15yrs had never really been shown to me. Easy to read and apply to my own investing style. Now I feel much more confident about making investment decisions and knowing what to look for. I keep it next to my computer for a reference book as well. I'm giving it as a gift to all my friends who lost money listening to their broker!
