Good book with some innovative ideas. Recommends a few strategies to concentrate upon. The problem is that these are mainly strategies with unlimited loss potential so you really need to know what you are doing and really only trade the markets he mentions for the most part. You could get killed in stocks with some of these if the stock halves overnight.

Also, a mystery as to what happened to this author. A search online reveals that he seems to have vanished without a trace. If he was doing so well two decades ago, where is he?
