Summary: Day Trading Made Easy!!!!
Review: I found this book extremely informative and yet written in an engaging and easy to understand manner. The power of this book lies in the author's clear and concise message; beat Wall Street at its own game by avoiding the volatile internet stocks. It is simply the best book I have read on the subject.

Summary: Make Money by Betting With The House
Review: There are 2 techniques explained in the book. The first 176 pages (10 chapters) explains in a lot of detail the conservative technique the author uses to make profits a bit at a time by betting with the house and day trading like the specialist. The rest of the book is about momentum trading. Don't let the author's age fool you. He's only 25, but he's traded more than 15 million shares. That kind of REAL WORLD experience is worth reading. I rate this more than 4 stars, but not quite 5 stars.

Summary: Noone ever made me angrier!
Review: A pamphlet would have accomplished what this guy said in the entire book! I wanted to strangle him! Repetitive, condescending, overly simplified and so BOOOoorrring!!! Here is the nuts of it all: Pick a stable stock with a narrow spread between bid and ask. Buy 2000 shares and then sell it 1/16 higher right away. Everything else is simply preamble... over and over and over. Hope I saved you 20 bucks.

Summary: Overall, a powerful book
Review: With the advent of decimalization, the technique Farrell uses no longer works anymore, not for him and not for anyone!! It was a great idea for a while but Wall Street put a stop to it because Day Traders were taking too much of their money. Don't waste your money buying this book!!!! It should not even be allowed to be sold!!!

Summary: NYSE All the Way!
Review: I am a fan and follower of Chris Farrell's NYSE trading strategies - this book, to sum it up, is a guide to anticipating and exploiting temporary supply and demand imbalances in NYSE listed stocks - Farrell terms the strategy "scalping" - the author was pounding the table back in summer 1999 when this book first came out saying that the NYSE is a better market to trade than NASDAQ and that traders should stay away from trading NASDAQ stocks because the order handling rules are less fair than the NYSE - he is still saying that now in 2002 - those that have listened to that advice have fared very well -
