Rating: Summary: A great book Review: Thanks gawd I didn't trust those 1 star review and bought the book anyway since the index of the book was available on a different site. I have read over 20 books so far and this is one of the best book on trading ever. Yes there is some hype on the pristine service (and some other web site) but far beyound, a great advice from a man who has been there and done that. This book includes some advice (and wisdom) not found anywhere else. If you are serious about becoming a master daytrader, go beyond the noise and the smoke and get to the real thing. Do not enter a single trade before the completion of this book. Very well done Mr. Velez and Capra.
Rating: Summary: Who's Fooling Who Review: I lost a great deal of money following these people's services....When I looked at their website, I thought that Velez's July 14th caption on their website was hilarious...The Quote of the Day For - July 14, 2000 Online Trading Expo interviews Oliver Velez ...We focus on education in addition to pulling money out of the markets. It's one thing to follow a guru or follow a newsletter and make money off of someone else's ideas. It's another thing to learn what the proper tools are and to acquire the proper knowledge so that one day you don't need to rely on gurus. Our services, newsletters and seminars are designed to build independence... Somebody or agency needs to call their bluff....After looking at Velez's picture, I feel like my car is being stolen....This kind of organization should not be allowed to operate.
Rating: Summary: Buyer Beware Review: It's another one of those Wall Street supposed guru books..I was in most of the services provided by this organization and lost 75% of my money over a period of 18 months...I was however lured by the way Mr. Velez handled his communication, however his trading methods are severely flawed..I lost most of my money following Mr. Capra...It seems to me that they just run another hype machine that's too good to be true...I obviously wouldn't pay a dime for this book...
Rating: Summary: Master Ego Review: "I don't know why this is, but it just is. So what is my point, you ask?" Yes, that's what I was wondering the first 165 pages, grasshopper. The book's beginning is one-third of a ream of mind-numbing cliches, slangs, and slogans. Let me save you some money and sum up its essence: Buy 3-5 day pullbacks of up-trending stocks.
Rating: Summary: The Purpose of This Book Is To Trap More Cusotmers Review: This book is full of sales pitches. Although lots of information was provided, but not in an organized and systematic way. Eventually readers should purchase their expensive seminar or services in order to master this book. Avoid it.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC BOOK Review: Oliver - Your book is a wonder - the allegories, the philosophic incorporations and of course your trading method is all brilliant. I have read with great entertainment and appreciation to crowds the 'wagon story' !
Rating: Summary: Incredible Review: Incredible how this book focuses on selling services rather than how to trade. I feel as if I'm an incomplete, un-educated trader after reading this book. The author would have you believe that a successful trading career is futile without subscribing to Pristine's services. There some valid points and interesting facts, but not enough substance. There are several successful trading methods in existance, this book makes if sound as if there is only one. All in all, an ok book if you know absolutely nothing about trading, far to meanial for anyone with any type of experience. If more attention was focus on trading and not selling, it would probably be a decent book
Rating: Summary: Fairy Tale Review: I had fun reading this fairy tale of a young man that was evicted numerous times, hit rock bottom, and worked his way up to millionaire status. Unfortunately I find a lot of his stories hard to believe, and that makes me speculative of his trading strategies and techniques. Save your money on this one.
Rating: Summary: sheep in wolves clothing Review: The book is very entertaining, and seemingly well written, it is pointed at the idea of being truly and sincerely interested in the customer. However, I cannot allow innocent individuals to be trapped by this authors seeming innocence. There have been over 72,000 subscribers to their services, and very few remain, including myself. This organization thrives on the case that you can't prove me wrong, you can't prove me right. A fool will tend to part with his money, often by trusting the hidden huckster that thinks he can hide behind "what you don't know". I also suggest that before one does business with this firm that a thorough background check be done on Mr. Velez & Capra. Velez mentioned that he was evicted 27 times...I understand that he is 31 years old...You can start there...Once a huckster, always a huckster...
Rating: Summary: Performance verification Review: The book is more centered on entertainment than trading. There is no concrete way of verifying that the supposedly sound methods even work. I find it hard to believe that someone can get evicted so many times...Nothing wrong with entertainment...but I certainly would not bet my money on this unfounded methodology. I think the author would make a good fiction writer.
