The Best: Tradingmarkets.com Conversations with Top Traders

Loved the Chris Kacher, Gil Morales, and David Ryan interviews. Incidentally, Chris Kacher and David Ryan are both profiled on www.wikipedia.com. I also enjoyed the Jeff Cooper interview though my trading style is more intermediate term oriented. I've read almost all the conversations with top trader type books. The problem is some of the traders interviewed ran into hard times. I wish someone would publish a book on those traders, where they went wrong, and what they could have done to prevent it.

This book is the equal of such classic "trader success profiles" as the Market Wizards series. Many of these profiles trace the backgrounds of very successful traders from their humble beginnings and provide a nice roadmap for aspiring traders. I especially liked the profiles of Kacher and Morales, top traders from William O'Neil's (founder of Investors Business Daily) trading business. They offer a lot of insight into what it takes to become respected traders. If you are like me, you will likely read some of the profiles several times over.

I really enjoyed this book. It has some great insights and stories from some of today's top traders and money manager. You'll also learn some practical trading strategies too. So if you liked Market Wizards, you'll like this one.

This book is chock full of wonderful investment advice. It will keep you out of trouble during difficult markets like the one we've been in this year. It will also help you make great money during bull markets. And the information is quite varied so the reader gets an intelligent view of the way markets are made, the way specialists work, the way of top trading strategies, and the way of the mutual fund business.In short, this is a great book for novice, intermediate, and advanced investors.I also recommend reading Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, though some of the interviews in those books are getting dated.

As many trading books as I have read, nothing comes close to conferring the mindsets of such successful traders like this book did. From start to finish, I couldn't put this book down as I absorbed years and years of successful experience from the world's best. An instant treasure to my personal library and it is sure to be exactly that in my trading account.
