Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Learn how to think like Soros and make a killing in global markets
With the advent of reliable, relatively inexpensive electronic trading systems, global trading, once the exclusive domain of specialists such as George Soros, is now open to the masses. In this book, Barbara Rockefeller tells the average trader everything he or she needs to know to access the global markets and profit from them. Clearly and simply, Rockefeller explains the nuts and bolts of global trading. She examines the importance of futures trading, stock indices, currencies, and other information necessary to be successful. She describes various costing schemes, how to keep and maintain accurate records, and how to deal with a host of common problems encountered in the global markets. And she explains how to understand and use various key indices and types of knowledge required to analyze and successfully trade foreign markets, such as macroeconomics and political analysis.
Barbara Rockefeller (Stamford, CT) is the founder of Rockefeller Treasury Services, an independent research firm specializing in foreign exchange forecasting and currency management. She is also a columnist for worldlyinvestor.com

Rating: - BOOK NOT RECOMMENDED
This book is full of misinformation. For example, the author claims that value investors rely on the efficiency of the markets, when, in fact, what they do is exploit market inefficiencies. I have yet to meet a value investor who believes the Efficient Market Theory. She also compares trading to investing by saying that the goal of trading is to make money, while the goal of equity investing is to preserve capital!
