by Michael Parness, Kirstin Peterson

In 1988, Michael Parness followed a stockbroker's advice and lost nearly all of his nest egg of $150,000. In 1999, he opened an online brokerage account and set out to get his money back. In fifteen months, he turned $33,000 into $7 million, started the online trading Web site "Trend Fund", and developed a trading strategy that delivers profits in both bull and bear markets.

In Rule the Freakin' Markets , Parness uses visual aids and practice exercises to show online traders and investors how

- Practice responsible trading techniques that maximize reward and limit risk

- And finally, live full and satisfying lives as traders

With its lively tone and refreshing approach to trading and investing, Rule the Freakin' Markets is an essential guide to profiting from today's turbulent market.

This book was great for your "gambling" account. I took away that there is so much that you do not know. That there are people and things pulling strings (as we all know) that well...I'll say it again, you don't know. Market's today are tough for the cocky intradaytraders but with understanding how BIG fish like to eat and how they attack, there is always a crumb or two for you to snack on as they rip through the sea of retailers!

Nothing real new here... it's basically a glossary of terms and basic trading concepts.
