Single Stock Futures

Rating:
Summary: Single Stock Futures
Review: Don't bother buying this book. It is so general and vague it's not worth the money. It rehashes tech analysis etc., that most would already know. It sheds no light into the world of SSF at all.

Summary: Single Stock Futures
Review: Good introduction to trading with futures. I appreciated the trading indicators and methods shared by the author. Knowing what stock futures are and knowing how to actually trade them are two different things, and this book does a valuable service in sharing good trading strategies with us. Thank you!

Summary: complete intro
Review: Good: Great introduction for a new trader trying to get up to speed with this investment. Author uses clear, basic approach to describing and teaching.

Bad: There could have been more information on how to spread trade with these investments. There's also a lot of basic techinical analysis overviewed (but I suppose this would be helpful to inexperienced tech traders.) And, the book is not real long and goes a little too quick.

Overall, I recommend the book

Summary: Good Teaching Tool
Review: I was interested in learning more about single stock futures for trading and hedging my portfolio, but found that this book did not have much content overall since it was published before the product began trading. There is a good review of basic futures trading but the info on single stock futures is limited and I am going to look to read more about the topic in other texts. This book offers mostly basic overview of the new product and not detail on how to use it to protect portfolios or apply to trading.

Summary: Pretty Basic
Review: Not knowing anything about futures investments, I found this book to be a great introduction to not only the book's subject, single stock futures, but also the futures markets in general. The author basically gave me an education and a disciplined roadmap to getting started with this type of trading.

Summary: Great Introductory Piece!
Review: This is would serve as a great introductory piece for those unfamiliar with the futures market. It does a great job of explaining what single stock futures is all about. But for those who are really interested in profiting from the market I will suggest they turn to specialised technical books like those of John J.Murphy("Technical Analysis Of The Financial Markets") and Edwards & Magee("Technical Analysis Of Stock Trends"). The basics of technical analysis espoused in both books apply well to the new single stock futures.
