[Ravi Sinha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can't think of another example where someone packs quite this much punch in quite this short a length. Only available in audio (I think) in the author's original voice, from a lecture. I won't spoil it but it makes like 5 solid points and they summarize all the market wizard books perfectly.

This is a really good book. You should have gone through some training yourself before reading this book.
