Been reading a few ETF books as I recently entered this marketplace. This book is, I believe, a little overly complex. Initial investors are probably unlikely to need info on ETF futures, short and long trading or ETF day trading. it is still a worthwhile read although slightly dated (2007) from todays marketplace. The intial chapters are good for getting a grounding in common ETF and market lingo and concepts.

A great book. The writing is straightforward and there are plenty of charts to substantiate Lofton's analysis. Topics are enticing... hedging with futures, option spread, day trading... It absolutely sparks my interest in digging more information about ETFs. Highly recommended.
