Review: Tough talk from a tough trader.For an insight into the potentially big money Chicago futures market, you must read Day Trader. This will open up some of the secret inner world of those young,sports car diving, gravel voiced, afternoon golfers seen at various Chicago country clubs. Borsellino also gives you an idea of what makes him tick. Many of the family and neighborhood stories are quite funny on the surface, but show the obsticles which he had to overcome. Not a manual, but a great read.

Summary: Has nothing for a Day-trader
Review: A hot contender for the title of worst trading book ever written. Rather than a discussion of the one issue that might lead one to respect the author - his trading - he subjects his readers to 200 pages of whingeing about his victimization on account of his father's mafia connections. While Mr. Borsellino goes to extraordinary lengths to deny that he has maintained these, he produces such a mind-numbingly tedious volume that one begins to wonder whether its publisher took the decision to publish on the basis of an "offer he couldn't refuse".
