Don't know this book... but;\n\nThere are no "simple ways to riches"... read the book, read many more books, learn from your loses (we all do) and grow rich slowly. The stock market is unforgiving to those looking for a get rich scheme.\n\nGood luck!

Don't be surprised I have experienced this many times over.  \n\nLet me tell you a story then I will answer your question.  I was telling a friend about "The I Ching", (pronounced E Ching) the Oriental book of divination.  I told him how all through my life about once every 2 or 3 years i would be in a quandary and need an answer. I would throw the coins for the I Ching and It never lied to me.  The only problem was I did not own a copy it just showed up exactly when I needed it.  \n\nHe was fascinated, "Lets drive to  Cambridge ma (about 100 miles) and get a copy.", he said. I said, "Eric Cambridge is all science and pragmatic stuff nobodies gonna have it, you have to go to a New Age shop." Eric persisted.  We walked into a used bookstore and asked.  Owner said," Yes I know the title, but we would not have that. I looked down at a stack of books on the top was the "I Ching". I said,"There it is."Owner, "Oh..those books just came in, I haven't looked at them.  We bought the I Ching and left. true story.\n\nYou must have reached a certain stage spiritually and,or your Karma is very good in order for this principle to work.  What you are doing is unconscionably controlling the material world. You simple send out sympathetic vibrations that say you want certain knowledge and the knowledge is thrown in your face.   If you willingly or unwilling ask for knowledge and your spirit (or whatever you want to call it is pure) then you will not be denied!\nIt's as simple as that! Enjoy it it is a boon (reward) for being a good person.  Watch for it in other matters.  Ask for something you need (like a tool), not something you want (like a Mercedes).  And then sit back and wait.  Don't be impatient it takes a will for the 'thought form' to transmit up and the request to be granted!

A good place to start is Motley Fool.  They are just like the court jester--the jester (England) who tell the king anything and still keep his head.  M.F. approach is to tell it like it is- inform, humor, and then let you decide what to do.  They don't work for a particular firm, that is only interested in that one thing.  They examine everything, and encourage all to read, ask questions before making any investments.  I really do encourage you to seek this out-- I just wish I had the money to invest!

If you want my advice on this read carefully:\n\nDon't buy any eBooks online. Most of the time you would be wasting your money - make sure they have been reviewed if you do buy any.\n\nThere are plenty of books in your bookshop or library from reputable authors in the industry. Rely on these as i find that they have much to offer. \n\nRemember as you learn technical analysis, apply it - so you learn quicker.

I am also addicted to it. I find myself constantly telling people about it. I was just wondering the same thing myself. I have looked, but I'm unable to find it. You should try ordering the book off of their website, I get the impression this book has old secrets in it.

Read the book with an open mind but also with caution.  I am sure that the book is not entirely worthless, although I have not read it.  I just read the synoposis and reviews on amazon.  However, I am familiar with books like this: Benedictine monks going on a spiritual journey, often making use of Buddhist and other Oriental thought.  \n\nIn my honest opinion, I believe that books like this reflect a great thirst in the West, even in long-standing churches, for genuine spirituality.  I think the amenities of popular culture as well as over-rationalization, among numerous other factors, have eliminated to a great extent a sense in Western culture of the sacred.  My advice: look into Orthodox Christianity, or perhaps at traditional Catholic spirituality.  Of course, if you're Protestant, this might be an issue with you, and if so I can't help you!

I actually do make money with it! It took time and effort, but once I understood the concepts and applied them I continually make money. Nobody is going to do it for you though, and nobody is going to just send you free money. I found it cheaper here: www.witcfb.biz/bonus-offer

There is a website (www.madmoneymachine.com) that has created some mock portfolios based on Mr. Cramer's recommendations.  Look under "Portfolio Challenge" and you'll find some in there.  There's also an accompanying podcast where he regularly talks about Jim's picks.  Recently the site has turned its attention to Index Funds and their merits, but there is still lots of Cramer talk.  Good site.

"A Random Walk Down Wall Street" would specifically address your needs with regard to math.  "A Random Walk Guide to Investing" is a good book and would suffice for most people, but wouldn't have the emphasis on math that you desire.\n\nPersonally, I like "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias.  It too is a little lighter on the math than I think you'd like, but it gives a very good overview of the different kinds of investment vehicles available and what the risks vs. rewards are for each.  Of course, all the math in the world won't help you determine what your risk tolerance is; formulae can only get you so far.  This book helps you determine that, and risk tolerance is to a large degree what you should base your financial decisions on.

That book is just a scam, and you fell for it. Lucky for you, though, you're smart enough to see that the book doesn't really say anything and in fact doesn't make any sense. Lots of people got suckered into the babble before they figured out there's nothing there!

I've read quite a bit of it, and the more I read the more I realize how utterly bogus it is when taken literally.\n\nOh, and I think "jackiedj8952" ment to say you needed to have your ears poisoned and be brainwashed by a preacher or someone. That's what she ment by "spiritual ears". \n\nShe's right in a way, you first need someone to tell you that this book is perfect in everyway and if you don't believe in it you will go to hell, because without that it'll just be another book of fantasy and make believe.\n\nI encourage christians to be honest with themselves and go here to give your ex-christian testimony:\n\nhttp://exchristian.net/

I too was in the same boat as you a few years back. After having discussed this with several professionals and traders, I was recommended the following and support their thoughts as well:\n\n1) Options As a Strategic Investment by Lawrence McMillan\n     The book is heralded as the "The Bible" for option traders. It comes complete with explanations, charts, and commentary; a complete package and stand-alone volume. It is often called the "OSI book."\n\n2) Option Volatility and Pricing by Sheldon Natenburg\n   This particular book delves more into the structure and pricing of the option rather than the many applications as OSI covers.\n\nConclusion: Anything by the above two authors is a safe bet to be a complete study tool in learning about options. From beginning investors wanting to know the basics through the advanced traders who want to brush up on concepts and application, you are bound to be satisfied.

I would recommend spending $19.95 on a book Called “Financial Peace” Written by Dave Ramsey. “More than Enough” is also a good second book if you like the first written by the same author. The book is written on an easy to read (6th grade level) It covers budgeting and gives sample budget's it also encourages you to sit down with your spouse to establish and keep a budget. I do not use all Dave Ramsey's suggestions but anyone that does will not go wrong. The base of his teachings is very valid and useful. I firmly believe anyone starting out with these tools will not go wrong. Remember in life though a little common sense goes along way Good luck to you
