What an incredible waste of $50! I bought this with the hope of gaining additional knowledge on the macroeconomic factors of the world. Instead, what I got was a book that told me obvious equity and bond market reactions to changes in PPI, CPI, jobs numbers, construction numbers, oil prices etc.
Yes, we know that when oil price goes up, the market generally heads down. You don't need to write a book to tell us that.
If you're a veteran investor or day trader, this book will tell you nothing new.
