Biotech InvestorReview Date: 2007-01-09
A strong dose of reality to the often hype driven sectorReview Date: 2003-04-24
Who this book is for:
-Independent investors willing to spend a lot of time doing
research
-People looking for a current industry overview
-Job seekers
The Good:
-Extremely well written
-Up
to Date (as of spring 2003)
-Knowledgeable - several small tidbits of data pay for the book by themselves
The Bad:
-Will
quickly go out of date. For example the Appendix contains a list of firm websites and market caps; Market Caps change - companies
disappear.
-Not enough FDA information. This should have been a separate chapter covering the FDA approval process in detail
as well as other countries' processes.
-Too much basic investment advice: firm valuation/free cash flow/ portfolio theory
/ investor risk profile. Other books do a better, more thorough job of this.
-No bibliography
I gave it 5 stars because if you are going to invest in biotech the book will more than pay for itself.
Well structured and interestingReview Date: 2003-09-16
Tom Abate is a good writer and knows his subject. I thought this book was written in a guarded, pragmatic way that suits the reader's purpose (presumably investment). The dustjacket shouts of a 'coming boom' but the author can be forgiven for what is basically puffery. Abate is clearly arguing for a period of drawn out growth fuelled by demographics and accelerating technical progress - not an imminent goldrush.
I gained a number of insights I
consider valuable:
-An understanding of the mechanism of FDA approval and how companies manage themselves around it.
-The
fluid business models of existing companies.
-The way in which institutional fund managers seem to advocate active trading
over a 'buy and hold' approach to biotech portfolios (this surprised me).
Timely, relevant and convincingly argued. I'd probably buy another book by this author.

Okay Book, Not Really Filling ...Review Date: 2006-02-09
The author describes various items about financial statements. What's really missing is good comprehensive test cases - where he can walk us through applying what was being explained.
It was way too much money for what is being offered. I learned much more from MorningStar Classic "The five rules of successful stock investing" for a fraction of price.
Required reading for anyone investing in the stock market!!!Review Date: 2004-04-20
The big bonus is that this book is NOT written by a CPA, but has a humorous, tongue-in-cheek tone. This makes it entertaining and informative, regardless of your level of knowledge or interest in financial statements, per se.

A must read book for position tradersReview Date: 2007-09-23
Elliott Wave consists of 13 basic patterns. These patterns are formed by waves and/or market movements. If you can learned to recognize this patterns you can make a lot of money by been able to identify the next move.
Elliott wave analysis has rules and guidelines that will help you to know where to place your stop, how to recognize these patterns, how to make the correct wave count within these patterns, will give you the tools to predict price objectives and time frames for those price objectives, and a stop or a limit that will negate the whole thing if been wrong. The result is method that offers high probability trades that works the majority of the time if you are a discipline investor.
This book alone won't be enough to make you a great trader, but it would improve your trading dramatically. One tip, you need to learn to validate those wave counts and/or patterns by using several technical indicators that should show certain divergences in certain faces of those patterns and/or waves. The combination of Elliott Wave analysis with traditional Technical Analysis beats any other form of analysis you can possibly imagine.
In longer time frames, you need to combine those two with economic cycle theory. I like the Princeton Model. And see the charts and technical indicators in weekly or even monthly basis, and probably in logarithmic scale.
Some said that Robert Pretcher was wrong by calling the market top in 2000. Well he wasn't, neither the S&P 500, nor the Nasdaq has regained their 2000 highs, in more than 7 years. And in real terms, as well as in gold terms, the DJIA is still below its 2000 highs.
But indeed that doesn't matter to me, I am a position trader, an options position trader, I buy calls and puts, and create spreads, with time frames of two to four months. And believe me, the only way to win with options these way consistently, or at least, most of the time, and grow your money fast and quickly is by using Elliott Wave analisys. If you don't dominate this technique, stay away form options. If you do, be discipline, and trade only deep in the money options.
Appling it in for real is a little more difficult than understanding it, and it could probably take several months to learn to do it correctly and to obtain good results consistently, that is assuming you are already a fairly good market technician and have several years of experience investing in the market.
Well, it works for me, so I hope it would work for you too.
Good luck.

Buy the updated version!!Review Date: 2001-05-11
It is a good book, but this edition is plagued with typos, and mistakes in at least one chart. Don't make the same mistake I did; buy the last edition (I bought mine on the store with very little time ...) I haven't had the chance to check out the latest version (Starting Out in Futures Trading), my guess is that it's corrected and updated.
About his writing, I like the fact that he mixes personal experience with academic and corporate studies about the market. I think the book becomes very useful that way.

A great trading primer!Review Date: 2004-05-06
It wasn't dumbed down and it wasn't too technical. Good for beginner to intermediate trader. This is NOT a complete trading guide by any means, but it is a wonderful overview. If you want a lot of theory, this is not the book. The author recommends books on certain topics if you want to expand your knowledge (apparently there is an entire book devoted to candlestick charts).
A Great Introduction to Trading and Technical AnalysisReview Date: 2004-07-06
The only shortcoming is that there isn't much material on the other important aspects of trading like money management, position sizing, risk management, system testing / validation. For that, you would still need a book like Van K. Tharp's "Trade your Way to Financial Freedom" or Marcel Link's "High Probability Trading". I would have rated this 4 and 1/2 stars if there was such a rating. Worth more than 4 stars, but not quite 5 stars.
Overall, this book is a great primer, and would still be a very good value at twice the price.


Great book! Easy to read.Review Date: 2009-01-02
very interesting bookReview Date: 2007-02-16
I can offer a solution to this problem. I want to recommend for you a book titled How to Make Money in the Stock Market-Buy 2,500 different stocks for $1000 - Pay no Commission This book is a must for those wanting to find out about indexing (passive investing) and why it is the superior method for the small investor (and big one too). This book is an outstanding guide to personal investing. It will be useful to all investors from novices to highly the highly experienced. This book prepares the reader to approach investing from the standpoint of the underlying science. It is the antithesis of a 'get rich quick scheme'.
All aspects of Modern Portfolio Theory and passive (index) investing are explained in a through and easily understood manner. The aspect I like most is that as well as a solid theoretical foundation the book is very practical and shows the reader how to create (and more importantly) and manage over time a successful portfolio. This is a great book- for the beginning investor, it's a great place to start and for the experienced investor there are many valuable suggestions.
It's a shame to think of how much money investors have lost "investing" in the stock market over the years. I wish I had read this little book years ago. The chapter on automatic investing recommends a number of portfolios that follow modern portfolio theory and adjust risk as you age without any effort on the part of the reader at all. Had this book been written years ago and had I followed its directions I would be rich today of that I am certain. Nevertheless I will pursue one of the portfolios recommended and stick to my chosen asset plan.
Piscaqua Research in a study covering the period 1987-96 found that only 10 out of 145 major pension funds, or just seven percent, out performed a portfolio consisting of a simple 605/405 mix of the S&P 500 index and the Lehman Bond index respectively.
Os it logical I ask for you to believe that you can predict which actively managed funds will out perform, or are you overconfident of your skills? If you are trying to find the great fund managers who will out perform in the future ask yourself: what am I going to do differently in terms of identifying the future winning fund managers, than did the pension plans and their advisors? And if you are not going to something different what logic is there in playing a game at which others with superior resources have consistently failed?
If you a really serious in finding an investment technique that will provide you with reasonable return with less risk I suggest the following little book.I wrote this book

Expert Advice for Brazilian StocksReview Date: 2009-02-08
I became interested in the gospel according to Fred Fuld III over the past year or so, as his advice pretty much outperformed the world, while most traditional analysts posted significant losses, Mr. Fuld's recommendations were up substantially, even higher than most analysts posted during the good old pre-2000 days.
The author's overall knowledge validated the information he was passing along on the stocks in Brazil, and with his advice, that portion of my portfolio has significantly outperformed the main stream North American holdings.
I'm hoping he'll do other books for some other parts of the world; clearly, we are a part of a global economy, and it would behoove us to gain as much information as possible on what's going on around the rest of the world. His analysis of Brazil was very astute and most appreciated, especially in light of the dismal bear market we're currently suffering through.
Drilling Down into the Brazilian HooplaReview Date: 2008-06-26
There are so many global and country-specific pieces of information as well as little nuggets of gold "tid-bits" that really focus on what makes each stock significant. If you are considering any Brazillian stock for your portfolio, you should read this book!
Compact encyclopediaReview Date: 2008-05-26
You can use this book as a starter kit for investing in Brazil that provides you with lots of fundamental data and helpful history. Hopefully, in future editions or publications, Fuld will also give us some more direct investing advice to help us distinguish between the good and the GREAT Brazilian companies.
