A recent review of my second book seen:
A interesting book to read, the author obviously did a nice job of collecting all the info. In term of the trading methology [sic], I am not too impress with it. It is laughable that someone will trade the market without paying attention to current market condition and fundamental at all. May be that’s why Dennis would often loss 30% or more in one month and he often lost 9 trades out of 10. Sounds to me he got into the sucker rally all the time because he did not know and did not care what’s underneath. I bet if he spend more time studying the general market fundamental, he will do better than that. On the upside, there’s indeed one thing that interested me in this book, and that’s the profolio risk management. Although Dennis is a lazy dude that would not spend time studying the fundamental, but due to his skillful risk management, he managed to make money eventhough he’s wrong 90% of the time, and that’s what I try to learn from this book.
I don’t post this review and critique it because I don’t like critiism. Far from it. What I hate is mindless criticism while pretending to be smart. Reviews like the one above do more good than bad as they show that some people, even when staring at the black and white, the words in print, don’t get it. His 3rd sentence is a classic perfect for framing!
