Women Of The Pits: Shattering The Glass Ceiling In Financial Markets (224 pages, $29.95 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0793127378), by Mara Koppel, published by Dearborn Trade. The women of the pits are strong women who have not found it necessary or even desirable to imitate men or undo them to prove themselves. They don't have to. Like Masai warriors who each day must "face the knife" and hunt the lion with only spear and bare hands, they know intuitively their allies are age-old friends: hard work, discipline, and the pursuit of excellence, as well as courage and the conviction to know they can get the job done.

Trading To Win: The Psychology Of Mastering The Markets (257 pages, $34.95 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0471248428), by Ari Kiev, published by John Wiley & Sons. The trading arena has produced its share of select "supertraders," market practitioners set apart from the rest of the field with one distinct advantage: mental and emotional toughness. Like outstanding athletes who stay focused, remain calm, and stick to their game plan, these master traders in this highly risky, highly competitive arena possess an edge that keeps them from being distracted by emotional components that can cause major losses. This book presents a step-by-step program for building the mental and emotional stamina not only to win, but to win on an unprecedented level.

Rubles To Dollars: Making Money On Russia's Exploding Financial Frontier (273 pages, $28 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0735200629), by Alexander Elder, M.D., published by the New York Institute of Finance. A massive upswing is beginning in Russia, the largest and richest country to emerge from the ruins of "the Evil Empire." The collapse of the communist system in 1991 left Russians free for the first time in a millennium. Freedom has unleashed the creative energy of a nation, propelling it into a headlong rush to catch up with the industrial West in a single generation. Russia is poised for takeoff. Early fortunes have already been made, but there are still profits to be had in the ongoing rush to economic normalization and prosperity. This book takes you inside this huge, rich country and its emerging markets.

New Trading Dimensions: How To Profit From Chaos In Stocks, Bonds And Commodities (260 pages, $59.95 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0471295418), by Bill Williams, Ph.D., published by John Wiley & Sons. As today's market environment continues to change, traders are discovering that traditional forecasting methods -- pure technical analysis -- just do not work. Sending out contradictory messages, these opposing schools of thought leave investors baffled about the direction of the market, and at a loss as to how to tailor their trading systems. As a result, many practitioners have now turned to a new forecasting "cocktail" that combines traditional charting methodologies with chaos theory and human psychology. This book explains exactly what it is, how it works in current stock and commodity markets, and how to use it to your advantage.
