Fuzzy Math.......2004-06-06

Although there is much informative basic material in this book, I cannot stand the fuzzy math this author uses. The percentage gains he reports in some of his examples are blatantly deceptive. An example is Fig. 5-10, where he shows the possible gains achievable using the "gap" method. He quotes a profit potential of $21062, which I dont dispute. However, there is no mention of the actual money necessary to make the trades shown, which is probably somewhere around $30,000 (minimum). This would yield a profit of around 67%. The figure, however, quotes a profit return of almost 700%!! Whether or not these figures are his, or if he borrowed them from another source does not matter. He should know better! This sort of misleading "fluff" does nothing but confuse the amatuer and leads to the expectation of gains much better than realistically possible with a small account balance. Throughout the book, math like this is used to over exagerate possible gains from day trading.

Disappointed! Too simple, sometimes naive.......2002-09-16

This is the second Jake book I had read up till now. The first one is "Investment Quotient" which I gave my highest rating. That does not lead to my negative comment on this one because of over expectation. It's just that the content and quality of this so named guide just cannot be described as compleat.

In one single book of only 200 pages, Jake tried to discuss many important elements of day trading, including history, mechanism, player characteristics, market structure and even sophisticated technical tools like Stochastics, MACD, Momentum, various forms of Moving Average and even AI. The problem is: he tried to cover so many things that the whole book becomes very shallow and far from what is needed for this highly risky game.

I dont understand why many reviewers gave this book such high ratings. I am afraid that many amateurs had already been lured to enter the game under the false illusion that they became better, if not well equipped, after reading this book, and had already fallen prey to the market crocs.

So simple, so good..........2002-04-03

Jake has writed no news about trading world, but all that the traders need is into this book. Sometimes we read a bit of trading system, a bit of psicological approach, etc. Jake said that the book is dedicated to day traders and aspiring day traders the world over. Doing day trading is arduous: the challenge immense. The promise of victory and lure of wealth inspire you daily to confront the odds of success. Jake give us this book in the hope that his efforts, research, suggestions, systems, and methods will help us achieve our goals.
Great buy!

Compleat Guide to Day Trading Stocks.......2002-03-18

The Compleat Guide to Day Trading Stocks is just that: one of the most complete and very best books ever written on the subject of day trading. Its highly regarded author, Jake Bernstein takes the reader from the very basics such as realistic risk/reward considerations, the essential mechanics of trend-following systems, fundamental vs. technical analysis, timing indicators, stochastics and charts, all the way to clear and precise systems and methods as well as the Psychology of Day Trading. He goes out of his way to make sure that the reader is absolutely aware of all aspects of day trading before making a commitment - including the long and painful learning curve that is inevitable - and clearly states who should not undertake day trading. Having said that, if the reader understands this, and is still firmly committed to making day trading a success, Mr. Bernstein gives his utmost support by going deeply into the nuts and bolts of the art by providing a solid foundation with proven strategies that can be thoroughly back-tested. This is really the most beneficial part of the book for the experienced investor, and is that which sets it apart from the many more general works on the subject. The reader is encouraged to learn and test these methods and systems and to incorporate the ones that are best suited to his/her own investment style. Pitfalls are clearly stated and the writing is extremely fluid and easy to understand. Best of all, the reader subconsciously develops the proper attitude that is so essential to succeed - that day trading should be treated as a serious business which can and will only be successful if done with the proper frame of mind, diligence, hard work, and risk management as well as a dedication to discipline. I highly recommend it!

ANSWERS, ANSWERS AND MORE ANSWERS.......2002-02-17

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO GET ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT SHORT-TERM AND DAY TRADING. THIS BOOK TELLS YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND IT EXPLAINS HOW TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT TELL YOU ONE METHOD OF TRADING. HE LAYS THEM ALL OUT FOR YOU TO DECIDE WHICH METHOD BEST SUITS YOU; WHICH IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN ANY ENDEAVOR. MR BERSTEIN IS A VETERAN AND HE TELLS YOU WHAT HE THINKS. TO ME THAT MEANS A LOT.
THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION IS ASTOUNDING.
A MUST READ.

Book Description

In 1662, Amy Denny and Rose Cullender were accused of witchcraft, stood trial and were hanged in Lowestoft. A Trial of Witches is an in-depth study of this trial and an analysis of the court procedures and the larger social, cultural and political concerns of the period. The authors consider the participants in the case, their institutional importance and their part in the fate of the women.

Thirty years later, the Lowestoft trial was cited at the Salem trials. Through detailed research of primary sources, the authors explore the important implications of this case for the understanding of hysteria, group mentality, social forces and the witchcraft phenomenon as a whole.

Book Description

This updated book provides a broad view of the field, with a consistent style, that leads you from one step to another in the understanding of the science, and includes problems for you to work in order to help build on the information presented in the text.

The text assumes that you have little or no knowledge of the science of adhesion and has also been written in such a fashion that even a person who has a meager knowledge of these subjects can learn something about adhesion science from reading this book. That is, the emphasis is on understanding the science rather than a complete and detailed exposition on any part of it.

In this new, second edition, each section or chapter starts with a simple view of the subject area, starting at the same point an entry-level textbook would begin. Each section or chapter then builds to a point at which more detail is available for the reader who is or wants to be a practitioner of the art and science of adhesion.

Book Description

Presents the state of the art in improving bond strength between different materials for many manufacturing processes. The text explores up-to-date, high-quality adhesion technologies for a wide variety of materials, explaining current capabilities of adhesion promotion for both students and seasoned researchers. It reviews the suitable chemistry or morphology for enhanced adhesion to metal, plastic and wood surfaces.

Fair coverage of a broad subject.......2004-11-16

The adhesion between different materials is something people rarely consider when they think of science or engineering, yet few subjects are more important to practicioners in so many fields such as biology, materials science, chemistry, construction, medicine, etc... This book takes a big stab at trying to describe the studies of adhesion between different classes of materials such as polymers, metals, ceramics, and even biological organisms. The book also includes a chapter on the modeling of adhesion at the atomic scale. As such, it is worth reading... but the problems arise in that each chapter is written by a different author(s) and one clearly notices the biasness of each author towards the research they do. Each of the different topics end up focusing on a few test cases. For example, the section on metal - ceramic adhesion deals with really one ceramic, alumina, even though many metal - ceramic couples are being studied quite extensively. Because of this, I would not recommend this book as an introduction to the field. It does make a good reference for those who work with adhesion.

Book Description

This book is an international commentary on the state of adhesion science and technology. It is also particularly noteworthy, as it includes premiere papers from an international symposium on ''The Interphase''—the region created between interfacial surfaces upon joining, which has physical (mechanical and chemical) properties separate from either adjacent surface and influences the characteristics of the bond.

Book Description

The increase in the number of earthquakes and in the temperature of the hot springs that occurred between 1995 and 1997 on the islands of Saba and St. Eustatius, located in the Northern Lesser Antilles, was more than a mere fluke in subterranean activity: a mild volcano-seismic crisis had produced an increased heat flow.

This book investigates this correlation and other geologic activity of the active volcanoes in the Northern Lesser Antilles. A well-researched document of the volcanoes on these two highly populated islands, the book also features five detailed maps of the region and is an ideal accompaniment to the Netherlands Geological Survey’s geohazard report, which recommends the initiation of routine monitoring of both islands.

Book Description

This volume contains a selection of lectures and seminars given at the Ninth International Workshop on Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures which took place in Viña del Mar, Chile, in December 2001.
This book consists of two parts, the first one has three lectures written by Professors H.R. Brand, M. Moreau and L.S. Tuckerman. H.R. Brand gives an overview about reorientation and undulation instabilities in liquid crystals, M. Moreau presents recent results on biased tracer diffusion in lattice gases, finally, L.S. Tuckerman summarizes some numerical methods used in bifurcation problems.
The second part consists of a collection of selected seminars which cover different topics in nonlinear physics, from an experimental, numerical and theoretical point of view.
This book should appeal to mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, and nonequilibrium systems.
