- Couldn't put it downI received my book on Monday afternoon. I could not put it down. Today (Wednesday) I finished it. Great read and well written!
This book serves a great purpose; it gives an insight into who is winning in the markets. We have all been lead to believe that Buffett, Soros and others are the big players in the market. There are others who are silently making money for customers without the fan fare of Buffett or the political bias of Soros. The book tells you who the major players are (Dunn for instance) and how much money they make over time.

- Acceptable Review of Trend FollowingAn interesting perspective on trading. Readers are told to hire a trend following manager or to learn from the masters outlined in the book. And if you read and fully absorb the timeless wisdom of the pages of the book the vital truths are all there.
There is little by way of trading tips in this book so you will have to do plenty of hard work and probably read some other books or take come courses if you are to gain from Michael's messages. As a real trader, what I would have liked to see was more steak.

- Great read for all types of tradersAs a student of the market for decades I was blown away by this book. It is one of the top five investment books of all time. The author describes what trend following is and who the players are. It simplifies the issue of how to profit in the market. How can anyone argue with the cold hard performance numbers.
It does not give you the save all formula for trading. It does not provide the secret forumulas on how to make money. They don't exist. It does provide valuable information from existing trend followers who have been using the method for years - decades.
Its easy to read and quick to comprehend. Should be on every traders bookcase.
Well worth the money.

- Financial Manna from HeavenHaving been an active investor for over 20 years, I found the
material very enlightening. The basic strategy of trend
following opened my eyes to the opportunities in both bull and
bear markets. Wished I had read this book a few years ago!

- The Tony Robbins of trading....Michael Covel [...] did quite well in my opinion in researching and bringing out a message to the masses in what makes a successful trader with his new book. [...] I applaud Mike for debunking the Buy and Hold strategy and the message of there is no one to blame but yourself for your own losses in trading. [...]
With Mike, one has to see and not look whereby you have to see things for what they could be and not for what they are on the surface. His new book is written with good intentions in educating and empowering the individual trader to master his or her destiny through self-discovery and research. If you are someone who is looking for a quick answer and a quick fix, you have come to the wrong place. Yet if you are someone who has an open mind and decides to take control of his or her life and destiny, Mike's message is a good start. (...)
