Contrarian
Ripple Trading (190 pages, $49.95 hardcover, 2007, ISBN 978-0-470-13976-9)
by Aidan J. McNamara and Martha A. Brozyna, published by John Wiley &
Sons.
People are drawn to the idea of instant wealth seemingly available from "playing the market." Unfortunately, many of those would-be market participants fail to realize the difficulty of achieving this goal. The authors, who work outside the investment world, explain that consistently generates short-term profits on trades in large-capitalization stocks whether the market is moving up, down, or sideways. Both McNamara and Brozyna want to share their trading experience with you. The book is written with the nonprofessional trader in mind and defines the concept and discusses the ways this approach works, and examines how and why the situations occur to bring stocks to a place where the concept works. The book draws on their well over 1,000-trade -- no losing trades -- record. John Wiley & Sons, www.wiley.comBACK TO LIST |
