I'm not a professional finance wizzard but I am a well educated citizen of the world with a keen interest in the sector. I enjoy the lighter publications (war stories about the Brothers, Barbarians etc..) on the city/street but also the more analytical stuff.
This book has no message, no content and looses the reader after 2 pages. Don't buy it ! It is not good and does not deserve an...
Despite this being for "Dummies" it's incredibly detailed and covers just about everything that one needs to start trading with Technical Analysis.

Wanted a beginners guide to book keeping that a complete novice could understand. This book does not deliver. More for someone that has an understanding of book keeping than a beginner.

Perhaps I had an incorrect expectation - but if you want to identify usable mechanics to help your trading look elsewhere.
