The Sixth Market: The Electronic Investor Revolution (224 pages, $26 hardcover, 2000, ISBN 0793139139), by Howard Abell, Robert Koppel, and Ken Johnson, published by Dearborn Trade, a Kaplan Professional Company. According to some estimates, from 1992 through 1998, 80% of people who engaged in daytrading lost money. The runup in stock prices, particularly in the technology sector, had masked a serious weakness in the premise of self-directed online trading: most people didn't really know how to trade. With the emergence of self-directed, electronic trading comes a need for training. Trading skills can be learned and are not difficult to master, according to these authors. Here, you'll learn the steps essential to competing in today's electronic marketplace.
