Rating:  Summary: I can't believe I fell for it. Review: With all the great ratings and rave reviews, I had to buy this book. After reading this book and it's collection of useless facts, it's obvious to me that these authors are NOT winning traders. Then I re-read the reviews, and I noticed how similar the language were. It is my humble opinions that the authors loaded the reviews here to entice us to buy the book. I have bought over 50 books, and this is ranked in the high forties. Don't get duped.

Rating:  Summary: OUTSTANDING INSIGHT! Must read or be behind the powercurve! Review: Wow! Baird and McBurney's book does all it promises to do regarding giving readers a firm foundatation in the principles of successful day trading, and I would highly recommend it for this alone. In addition, however, I found the authors' review of the history of day trading to be particularly enlightening. I was shocked at all of the anti-small-investor practices implemented by the big Wall Street brokerage houses, who missed not a single opportunity to place the small investor at the greatest disadvantage possible. Just one example of many is how clients were consistently overcharged by brokerage collusion to keep spreads artificially high. And these unfair policies went on for decades until stopped by Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission investigations and fines! If "60 Minutes" gets hold of this book, they will have to do two segments, one on Baird & McBurney's strategies and unmistakable emphasis on proper training, and the other on an exposee of the underhanded practices of the big brokerages. No wonder they're trying to trash online trading and day trading with every new news report. Well, if the big brokerages haven't liked what the Internet has done to them yet, just wait till they see what's in this book!
