I can officially say that I understand investing better than I ever thought possible. From derivatives to hedge funds to commodity futures, this book covered them all and explained them in a way that even I could comprehend.

Livro dificil para iniciantes, mas ótimo para quem conhece.

[Aleksey Timin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Не лучший выбор для Российского читателя. В книге очень много материала связанного с законодательством США. Плюс, с 80-ч много воды утекло, и инвестирование тоже поменялось.
