Congratulations Michael!

Really what?

Will this be like a sort of market wizards Covel style?

Walter, perhaps it can be viewed somewhat like that, but not in interview format. Almost like chapter 13 of my TurtleTrader book.

Michael,

I think one of the filters for trading success should be whether the potential trader is willing to shell out $20 – $30 for a book that could change his/her life.

I honestly can’t believe contributors to the “free book” posting last week who analyzed the piss out of whether to spend money on your book and questioning your possible motivation for writing it. Do they go to the fruit market and ask the banana vendor what his REAL motivation is for selling bananas? You’re a writer for #@C$ sake! Of course you’re going to sell books!

In my own humble situation, I always did OK as a trader, but there was one-quarter of one page in the first edition of “Trend Following” that turned the light on for me, and turned my “trading” into “systematic profiting.” I now work for myself, I drive a Mercedes, I live in a nice home with a lake in the mountains, I travel to Europe and the Far East regularly, and, as a secondary source of income, I lend money to dozens of growing businesses from printers to pipelines…all possible primarily because of one-quarter of a page out of 400 pages in a $25 book. It was the missing piece of my trading puzzle.

If people won’t buy this book — and a hundred other books with possible gems of wisdom –, they should prepare to spend the rest of their lives in Mom’s basement.

I am sure they will announce Kindle on Amazon. These days they seem to be concurrent.
