<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The average individual needs to be protected against the onslaught of financial media and the proliferation of trading strategies that may be appropriate for hedge funds but make no sense for the average investor.

As a result, they are tempted into a succession of short-term trading strategies that are ultimately doomed to failure.
