THIS BOOK HELPED ME ALOT TO LEARN HOW TO HELP MY CHILD AFTER WE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. GREAT REFERENCE TO HAVE AROUND.

This is an excellent book for teachers and parents! It provides useful and very important information to work and deal with kids with sensory integration disorder

I highly recommend the book "The Highly Sensitive Child" by Elaine Aron to get a different perspective (more positive) on the out of sync child.

As a teacher I found that this book had many fun and functional activities. I do wish this book had more activities for older (teenage) students with moderate to severe disabilities; but, a great book overall.

I *LOVED* this book. It was such a quick read that I got through it in two days, *with* two kids underfoot, but there certainly was no lack in valuable content to read. This has transformed the way that I understand and work with my daughter, and she has had a diagnosis for sensory integration disorder for years! I reccommend this to *any* parent, even those without sensory kids....

Being the adoptive mother of a wonderful little girl with Special Needs, I am ALWAYS looking for new and fun ways to add to her therapy that doesn't feel like therapy. Having found the "Out of Sync Child" book a tremendouse help in our day to day lives, I was hopeful this book would prove beneficial to our play time. And it is. My daughter suffers from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, a condition that is the result of her being prenatally exposed to alcohol by her birth mother. Her challenges are many, including; Severe Sensory Processing Disorder, OCD, ADHD, Short Term Memory Loss, Cognitive Delays, Emotional Delays, Behavorial issues, just to name a few. Many of these challenges seem to accompany MOST of the brain disorders. So I think this book would be a great addition to the library of any caregiver, teacher, therapist, anyone, that faces these challenges with their child / client.

a very comprehensive and interesting book to help in various activities for children with autism

Informative, interesting. Helpful information in dealing with sensory perception disorders. Have used a few ideas from the book. It was well worth the purchase.

I've had this book for a couple of years and I love it. I've purchased at least twenty books on autism and this is one of the two I have kept. The ideas are practical, involve materials you can buy inexpensively (or you probably already have around the house) and it's fun for ALL kids. My nt daughter enjoys these activities just as much as my ASD son!

Contains many practical and easy activities that are fun for any child, not just "out of sync." Tried several already and found my grandson loved the originality and the use of everyday objects as situations for play.

This book is clearly written and user friendly. Biafore gives links to information sources, making it easy for the reader to get more information on each of the hacks. These links alone are worth the price of the book.

I've been trading for over twenty years, including a period as a floor trader on the Chicago Board of Trade. Even with that experience there are tips and tricks in this book I found useful to the point where I employ them daily. To be complete as a reviewer I will say there is a lot of pretty basic stuff from my point of view, but still well worth reviewing since some of it I had forgotten.

Well written, easy reading, well organized

Online Investing Hacks is an excellent introduction to the world of investment. Though the title does contain the word 'Online', I would say that the general information the book provides on investing is not limited to the online realm.

Overall, I was very happy with the book, and found it incredibly useful. Though I do have several investments (401K, some stock, mutual funds etc) I would hardly consider myself an authority on the subject. This book provided very detailed explanations and tips on various forms of investment, from CD's to Index funds, and everything in between. While the experienced investor might not glean much from reading this book, anyone just getting started will find it an excellent reference, and resource.

The format of the book is similar to the other books in the 100 * Hacks series published by O'Reilly. There are exactly 100 hacks, or topics, which are spread across 9 chapters. Each one is an individual entity and can be read and understood without reliance on any of the other hacks.

One minor annoyance I had with the book is that it is geared toward those of you who, for some reason or another, run Microsoft's Windows OS, or have access to Microsoft Excel. Luckily, of the Excel examples that I played with, Open Office's Calc program handled them with minimal tweaking.

I can easily recommend this book to anyone who wants to invest, but is unsure of what to invest in, or needs some tips on making the most of preexisting investments. Those of you who enjoy research and building your own stats and graphs will also find parts of this book rather intriguing, as it covers data acquisition and manipulation with Excel in great detail. It will make an excellent addition to my reference shelf, and I have a feeling it will be well thumbed through in a very short time.

It seems like everyone is involved in investing in some form or another. While I always felt like I should be investing too, it was never clear to me how to begin this process. After all, it's my money. How can I be sure I'm investing in something that will provide some sort of reasonable return? This book is an excellent resource in answering some of those questions and putting the new investor on the right track.

This book is written in the same format as the other "hacks" series by O'Reilly. This format is very easy to read, and the format makes it very easy to find answers. Rather then having to read the book from cover to cover, the reader can pick out topics they are dealing with, read the answer, and move on. Since many of the people interesting in a book of this nature will likely have little time, the book's format works to its advantage.

The book begins with some basic introduction to the stock market and tips for selecting appropriate stocks or mutual funds. The whole middle section of the book deals with data analysis. The author discusses how to understand a company's balance sheet (e.g. what that P/E ratio means), how to spot companies in financial trouble, how to pick a good stock, and even how to trade. There is also a good discussion on minimizing the effect of taxes on your little return on investment.

The author even goes further and gets into a discussion on financial planning. In addition to discussing debt reduction, the author also talks about IRA plans and different strategies for saving for your child's education expenses. I think my favorite part of this book was the discussion on different education savings plans. The author discusses the ins and outs (as well as tax consequences) of each of the plans, and provides some examples illustrating the fact that it's better to start saving earlier than later.

This is an excellent book, not just for its investing advice, but also for its sound financial planning. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in increasing their wealth, saving for a rainy day, or simply saving for future financial goals.

Online Investing Hacks by Bonnie Biafore (O'Reilly) is one of those books that can pay for itself in short order, as well as over and over.

Chapter list: Screening Investments; Hacking Excel for Financial Analysis; Collecting Financial Data; Analyzing Company Fundamentals; Technical Analysis; Executing Trades; Investing in Mutual Funds; Managing Your Portfolio; Financial Planning; Index

I worked at Enron from 1998 through 2001, and spent plenty of time during that dot.com era following my stock portfolio. I watched my Enron stock value go from incredible value to a point where it cost more to sell the stock than it was worth. I won a few bets (face it, that's what they were) on a few dot.coms and lost many more. What could have been an incredible nest egg, isn't. This book would have been a lifesaver if I had read and paid attention to it a few years ago. Biafore shows you how you can analyze and invest wisely using a variety of tools available to everyone.

If you're an Excel user, you'll find it an invaluable tool for analysis. She'll show you how you can use it to create financial charts (#13), calculate compound annual rates of growth (#26), and use rational values to buy and sell wisely (#36). #39 - Spot Hanky Panky with Cash Flow Analysis (using Enron as an example) would have literally saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars had I known about it. Even if you don't care about the investing tips, the hack on downloading data via Excel web queries (#7) was something I didn't know how to do (or that you could even do it!). The book has a little something for everyone.

As with all Hacks titles, you probably won't be interested in every single item. Some may not be applicable to your situation or may be too complex for what you care to handle. But all it would take is one hack to work out and change your investing for this book to pay huge dividends. If you do your own investing, you owe it to yourself to get this book.

"The Truth" is most definitely what this book is all about. I have been a struggling online day trader for about four years now. The stock market has been a complete nightmare for me. I have been reading a lot of books lately, and The Truth About Day Trading Stocks has been the one that stands out the most. Josh DiPietro really knows the hard side of day trading stocks. I feel like he is in the trenches with all of us amateurs. His advice is straight-up, he holds no punches. If you are looking for a book that is gunna show you how to make loads of money with some proprietary trading strategy, then this is not the book. Josh purposefully sways from giving the "golden goose" of strategies that will turn you into a millionaire overnight. He teaches just the opposite, he shows the hang-ups to day trading, he shows all the pitfalls and landmines. This book should be a requirement for all beginner day traders. Unfortunately, many beginner day traders think they are advanced. I strongly suggest all degrees of day traders read this book, especially if you have not yet figured out why you can't generate consistent profits.

I believe that josh"s approach is the only correct approach to daytrading successfuly. In this book he teaches real life lessons learned. His lists of do"s and dont"s when trading are invaluable tools to trade by. He teaches that trading for a living is hard. You must have a firm grasp of the rules, and stick to them, no matter what. He emphasizes pay per share instead of pay per trade is the only way to go. After reading the book I feel confident that if i stick to the rules with correct preparation and dicipline, that i will become a successful trader. Fantastic book.

Wow what a great read...If your goal is to day trade, profit and sleep at night then read this straight from the authors heart, book. This is the most honest and sincere approach to day trading I've ever seen. I could get long winded here but truth be told this gentleman is not presenting pie in the sky. Rather, this is reality, truth, profit and good common sense all rolled up into one good book. If you're going to day trade do yourself a favor and read this down to earth approach to doing so.
Tony Terranova

If you want to get the right "mind set" for day trading - this book is for you. Josh explains in a clear, concise manner the good the bad and the ugly of day trading. He pulls no punches - in fact he says day trading is not for everyone. He stresses consistency, making small trades often and keeping your losses small. Josh also teaches how to select a watch list of the best stocks to trade.
Day Trading is a skill that needs to be developed and practiced until its perfected. This book will definitely show you the way.

This is the book that really tells it like it is. Having minimal experience in E-mini Futures (negative 3k in one month),Josh outlines a method of daytrading for many small trades a day, plus the psychology involved and a clear explanation of position sizing. The best book on daytrading I've read, bar none.

The novel is an interesting story about a man's experiences in the financial industry and his struggles with himself given the ethics of that industry. The author does an excellent job of explaining basic financial concepts so that the reader gets an education in that world, and this makes the book more interesting.

This book has it all--terrific locations, love, sex, and greed, with a main character--Nick Larson--that you just have to root for as he struggles with right and wrong. The author hits the nail on the head with the backroom shenanigans of the financial market. He clearly knows the ins and outs of the financial world. The story portrayed could easily be tomorrow's headline.

Having a background in the securities industry along with twenty five years in he oil and gas business, I was astonished at how Mr. Issacman wove such a realistice story that was so thoroughly enjoyable. I literally could not put the book down.

Even though I have a background in both industries, this book would be of interest to anyone seeking the enjoyment of a well written novel of intrigue that also captures the timeliness of corporate coruption in business today.

max isaacman did a great job describing the pump and dump of a houston oil stock--he also showsthe very human side of a stockbroker who is searching to do good--he is lonely but has to make a living--a onetime big producer -sucessfull broker but when his wife dies --things begin happening to hime--a very human story--a fast exciting read that you can not put down--mr isaacman is the louie lamore for stock traders and investors--

I've read a couple of books on investing in the stock market by Max Isaacman and found them interesting and informative. The problem is that books about the market go out of date quickly, depending upon the cycle. Max's latest is a novel, "Blizzard of Money," and while also about the stock market, it isn't going out of date anytime soon. It is a thrill a minute ride through the world of international oil intrigue, wheeler-dealers, financiers, analysts and stock brokers with a heroin, Nick Larson, whom you can't help but like.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this book is that I feel I know, or at least recognize, many of the characters. From Nick Larson to his special friend, Linda, deceased wife, Julie, oil tycoon, Bret Wells, money manager, Lenny Zellon and so on, I've believe I've met them all. Another thing that amazes is that the author weaves a yarn with a topic that is, or certainly could be, current news. It is sort of a cross between the old film, "Wall Street," and the more recent film, "Boiler Room."

In our current world we have been swamped with news of boardroom antics and financial manipulation. The headlines have screamed Enron, WorldCom and Tyco. This novel is so real you feel you can almost add the name Nugget Petroleum of Houston to the current roster. Does a Houston setting have a familiar ring? When you add in other wonderful venues such as San Francisco and Buenos Aires you have a novel that has real glamour locations as its backdrop.

This author knows of that which he speaks. He has constructed a story of suspense that is both timely and interesting. It will appeal to those people who are not in the financial arena as well as those that are. While you may not read the entire book in one night it will certainly keep you enough in suspense to finish it in two.

This book came in the nick of time. Sometimes I thought I knew what was going on in the market, but I didn't understand why. Other times I was clueless. I gained practical insight into how to approach investments, including a better understanding of the whys behind investment decisions.

Victoria Collins' latest book is for the investor needing crucial information about the high-tech market. Because of the global economy this book is relevant for the present as well as the future. Collins has indeed created a valuable guide.

This book is so Victoria Collins! It adds yet another precious new-comer to my books of online wisdom. Reading though the pages tells more and more about the real world of online business. How the Internet has changed things forever. It's just like listening to a preacher who only talks about wise things. There is always another side in the day-to-day life of e-businessmen, and in the today's media, unfortunately we are only told about the up-side. Victoria so passionately tells us about where and when caution is as important as ambition. How to weigh factors in the winds on change. Why there are more to the Internet business than what's already there. And last but not the least, how it can be really the best tool a businessman could ever wish for if he only knew how to work it out.

You can feel a warm voice whispering in the screaming world of the Web. Holding the map to an uncharted territory. Showing us the way in the mid of shear forces pushing us back and forth, left and right. When you'll read Invest Beyond.com, you can easily tell the person who wrote this book is equipped with so much knowledge, expertise and courage to talk about what's beyond this still-mysterious phenomena to most of people. As if she has this overview that we are all missing. Above doubts and speculations. Enter the reality of living online every single day. Sail to the other shore confidently and wisely. It takes a thousand words to draw one picture, and it takes many years and effort to picture those scenes of the "Internet back-stage" - if you like! Easy plain language, suitable for highly professional people the same way as to others. If you are about to invest some money on your Internet gear, don't miss Invest Beyond.com, the book. It would prove that it's beyond it's value.

Investbeyond.com is a very useful book, in that it tells the reader what to do, and maybe even more important, what NOT to do in today's investing. It has some pithy comments about over-confidence, and other maladies that investors may be subject to, especially in the recent go-go times, which may (or may not) be over. The information is presented clearly, in an interesting fashion. It defines some terms that we often hear, and may not understand. Read it -- and profit!

At first glance, this book may look like just another tediously detailed behind-the-scenes guide to picking stocks. But the delightful surprise concocted by authors Charles M. LaLoggia and Cherrie Mahon is the book's page-turner narrative and laugh-out-loud wit, which they often use effectively to nail critical points. The authors focus on how to spot and invest in undervalued companies. We from getAbstract recommend this book to investment professionals (hey, the way things are going, a few fresh insights can't hurt) as well as to anyone, including Sunday speculators in need of a good laugh.

This book was really fun to read. It sort of swings back and forth between a light-hearted view of how the stock market really works, and then gets very serious and detailed when it comes to LaLoggia's methods for picking takeover stocks. To get the most out of this book I think you have to take the market seriously and accept that picking stocks takes effort and hard work. Most of the book deals with things you should look for when reading the financial news. What I like most about the book is that it is so different from any other stock market book I've read. It's also quite humorous in parts. All in all, I highly recommend it.

There are some well thought out insights in this book, especially in regards to potential takeovers. It is clear that Ms. Mahon has thoroughly researched her subject and offers numerous real life examples of what to look for in spotting takeover opportunities, most of which is conveyed in a clear and concise manor... A fast, easy, worthwhile read.

The Superstock Investor is the best resource I have seen for legal and ethical instruction on how to spot companies that will be taken over or whose stocks will soon soar due to temporary, special circumstances. These methods can help you make money in up and down markets, but they require a lot of learning and focus. Even if you don't plan to use these investment methods, you will learn a lot of how Wall Street works from this fine book.

A Superstock is a "stock that has the potential to rise significantly in price regardless of what the general stock market is doing." This will be due to a "specific potential event, or 'catalyst,' usually a takeover bid . . . ." These stocks are selling well below their on-going value as a business but no one cares because they are small and either cyclical or slow-growing.

The book is filled with actual stocks that the authors have picked and followed in their newsletter. The case histories go back over 25 years of special situations, including cumulative preferred stocks suddenly making their payments after having been in arears.

The basic method involves watching factors like takeover activity in an industry, the ownership of 5+ percent institutions through 13D filings with the SEC, insider buying and selling, company share repurchases, and technical trading patterns discerned from charts.

The opening section points out the weaknesses of how most people try to pick stocks. The examples are quite humorous, and will provide entertainment value even to people who do not buy and sell stocks.

The authors are also cautious about making claims. They are trying to give you an additional set of tools, rather than replacing whatever tools you use now. The examples of how to pay attention differently to financial news are very well done.

On the other hand, do be aware that few people are going to have the interest and discipline to learn to use this investing method.

After you finish profiting from this book, I suggest that you think about where else the consensus is usually wrong. What about forecasts of what will happen next politically? . . . with fashion? . . . with the economy? . . . with entertainment celebrities?

Learn to take the conventional wisdom as wishful thinking or the latest, best guess . . . rather than as fact!

This book provides a unique insight into investing in the stock market. For most "get rich quick" investment books, only the author gets rich. This is not that kind of book. Mr. LaLoggia provides a wry and witty review of what's wrong with most investment "news" and "research" available to the public today. The book sets forth a proven system to search out and identify undervalued stocks that have been overlooked by Wall Street and the main-stream press. To Mr. LaLoggia's credit, he acknowledges that his approach is not easy and requires research and analysis by the investor. The fact that it is not easy and requires work may be the book's main virtue to the intelligent investor who realizes that there is no "get rich quick" formula.

This book is a must read for futures traders or people with the intention to development their own trading system. RC as a developer of the successful RC trading systems illustrated the idea of developing his RC 5 system. Besides system development, he also provided some of his experiences in day trading futures which are very useful for today's day traders!

I have been to many trading seminars and spent thousands of dollars on my trading education. None of the so called "experts" have ever mentioned anything like what I learned in this book. For someone like me, it's taken my trading education holes and totally filled them! I would highly recommend this book to any novice trader looking to improve his results in daytrading the E-mini S&P or Russell Futures contracts! I can't say enough about how much it could improve your results.

This book is very inspiring. Mr. Cheung demonstrates hardworking can work in trading that trader need to spend time after market to research and practice in order to keep up with high performance during trading. After I read it, i purchased three more to send to my friends. It's beneficial and must read for traders.

great book with new idea. I haven't found a more valuable book in recent years. Mr. Cheung (the editor) gives out his trading secrets of using NQ to trade ES. In the past, I have seen traders using ES to trade Dow, bond to trade ES etc. But using NQ to trade ES is the first time. I think the editor has put in great effort in his own trading through a scientific approach. It's inspirable and I strongly recommend traders at all levels to read this book

The book starts out with the good trading advice that seems obligatory
these days. The big difference here is that it is presented in an easy
manner, and offers definitive, concrete rules to ensure adherence to
that advice.

The concept behind all the methods is the relationship between the SP500
and Nasdaq E-mini future contracts. These methods are the basis of the
system rated so highly in recent years by "Futures Truth," which thought
the concept unique for a system. Evidently, it is not so new, as Gary Smith,
in his book, "How I Trade For a Living" relates an anecdote of a
highly successful trader that used the difference between the SP500 and
the Dow.

As successful as the system is today, we know the markets are dynamic,
and the strategies as given will not hold up in the future. Also, no
effort is made to equalize the differences of the two index future contracts
in making comparisons, and constant point values are used as trigger points
in the strategies rather than some proportional method.

Another drawback is that the book is loaded with filler, mainly in the form
of constant unnecessary listings of five minute data in the examples.
And the book obviously has been written to hype the sale of related methods
and the seminars.

Still, these index future relationships add another dimension to trading
and should be explored. The ideas in the strategies have proven value,
and the rules in the strategies can easily be improved upon.

Author Gu is a brave fellow. He offers straightfoward info and analysis on what is really inside Chinese business and political world. He is highly critical of the Communist ills that continue to cause hellish problems for China and foreign operations inside. Other than this abusive bureaucratic power, Chinese people are very diligent and creative. But the key is to get rid of the overextended bureaucratic power, as so claims by Gu.

This book is a must read -- it is a rare book that reveals the inner workings of the Chinese bureaucratic system. This new edition is very nice, which is sharply revised and expanded. (Five stars for his new edition)

This book is for all readers. Not to mention other things, it contains several dozen case studies on global multinationals doing business in China, like Wal-Mart, P&G, Intel, HSBC, Bank of America, Ford, Siemens, BP, Unilever, Sony, GE, GM, Morgan Stanley, and Microsoft. (Amazingly, this revised and updated volume gives most current info on China -- even events happened in May 2006 are contained here.)

It also gives huge info on emerging Chinese multinationals. All the leading Chinese companies such as Haier, Huawei, TCL, Lenovo, China Telecom, Baosteel, China Oil, Sinopec, CNOOC, and Ping An are studied here. Furthermore, comparisons are made between the Chinese companies and their international counterparts. These discussions are straightforward, covering both strengths and weaknesses.

Its scope is rather wide: the author aims to identify key factors behind global development: causes, effects, and consequences. He offers vast info and analysis on a changing global production, investment and trade map, which involves all nations, rich or poor. Interesting comparative studies involve US, Canada, Europe, India, Japan and China. Above all, he pinpoints opportunities and challenges under globalization.

Also it is highly critical of the abusive Chinese bureaucratic power. Gu claims that China's fundamental weakness is with this overextended, self-appointed bureaucratic power. Vast info and facts are presented to support his statement.

He is a high-profile newspaper commentator/consultant that adds much color to his discussions. The book's key strengths come from the fact that the author has vast first-hand experiences, so that he gives countless insider's stories. Its style and presentation is very reader friendly and straightforward, but its analysis is overpowering.

Author George Zhibin Gu is a high-profile Chinese journalist whose powerful newspaper pieces are widely read. This book is a must read. The reason for my recommendation is simple: This book summarises the key lessons from a fast-changing China under globalization and capitalism.

These lessons are powerful. First, an open society is a must in order to gain true development. Second, having foreign involvement is a key driving force for China's quick development in this era. Third, a truly meaningful development must depend on individual private initiatives other than government bureaucracy.

This book gives rather straightforward analysis on what is behind China's new development. It gives tremendous information on foreign multinationals and investors doing biz inside. Furthermore, it gives huge info on how this foreign involvement affects China's society, government and economy. In particular, it is extremely open about the ills of the Chinese bureaucracy. To overcome bureaucratic barriers, it emphasizes the need for greater private initiative as well as openness, among other things.

Also, the book talks about the ever-increasing influences of China's surge on global development. It gives very insightful analysis on a changing global production, investment, and trade map, as well as manufacturing and job transfers, among other issues.

The book also offers much practical advice on doing biz in China. Numerous case studies are presented, including both successes and failures.

This book kept me up all night, I couldn't put it down.

I was so tempted many times while reading to drop the book, run the the computer and start right then in the middle of the night.

Book is very easy to understand, not a lot of those fancy words you hear on CNBC or read in the Wall Street Journal. They take that stuff and bring it down to the level that an individual investor can understand.

Authors very motivating and relate their experiences in the market very well.

The authors of this book have done an outstanding job of discussing and explaining techinques for investing in IPOs online. I believe that both the beginning and the experienced IPO investor will find this book to be a tremendous benefit in analyzing their IPO investment strategy. The presentation of the techniques in IPO investing available via the internet is clear, well written and certain help you increase your personal wealth. IPOs are no longer an investment vehicle for the elite investor.

The authors of this book helped me get started in online IPO trading. I followed their steps and am finding huge success with IPOs! On my first trade, I bought 100 shares at $12 and sold at $20. I was pleased with this profit, because it was considerably more than I get from other "short term" investments. I waited for the right IPO to "freakin' hit!" as the authors say, and hit one that made me over $11,000 profit in about two hours on the first day of trade. I STILL can't believe it! The book clearly details everything you need to know and do to get into trading IPOs online. If you have more questions, the authors even have their own website where you can contact them and get your questions answered. They know their stuff! What a great book!
