Nothing new.......2006-03-03

I thought this book might give me some breakthrough short term tips, but it is the same old stuff. I have always wanted to be a writer, but when I see how many pages a writer takes to say something that could be said in about ten percent of the time,I realize I am to much of a get to the point guy to be a writer--Another words this like so many other investment books, should be and article instead of a book.

The Worst Author - Ever.......2006-02-14

Save your money. Never, never waste your funds on the drivel this author produces!!

A profitable trader would never have time enough to write even one tenth the quantity of words this person produces.

Find traders that actually make money to learn from. There are a few that have written good books.

As starting points:
For equities traders try: Professional Stock Trading
For futures traders try: Trading Day by Day

These are simply starting points, but are written by REAL traders, not worthless-book producers.

Stock Strategies 101.......2005-08-12

This book is a good basic starter quide. Like taking a class called Stock Market 101. It is a good place to start. I just happened to read this book first then followed it with the Investors guide to technical analysis. It was a terrific double feature and recommend reading these two together. It was worth the money but not fitting the "hot" title.

Find a better book.......2006-02-08

This book really is a waste of time. Like all the other reviewers say, it is vague and promises to explain things later then never does. I had a good laugh at the two page chapter on Dollar Cost Averaging that was supposed to be more complete than other books.

I can't even find most of the methods they describe in their book available on charts on the internet. It's very frustrating when you're trying to learn and apply the knowledge, and where the hell is the Moving Average of Highs/Lows????? Bogus!

Perfection in printed form........2005-07-12

The first thing you notice when you read this book was the elegant prose. Instantly, you are reminded of truly great authors like Garcia Marquez, Hemingway, and Flannery O'Connor. This book is truly the stock market's Citizen Kane.
Once you move beyond the lush and textured yet subtle and graceful writing style, you find a veritable treasure trove of helpful hints. I find it rather impolitic to discuss how my portfolio is faring but I will mention that the information I gleaned from the Bernsteins was nothing short of revolutionary.
This book is a true delight and I can't recommend it enough. It makes a great gift, also, for dads and grads.

This book is pretty horrible.......2005-01-04

Usually I research investing books before I buy because there is so much garbage out there. I happened to be walking through a bookstore and the cover caught my eye. Unfortunately for me I should have kept to my book buying strategy of researching books online to see what others say before I picked this one up. I thought that a book titled "Stock Market Strategies that Work" would have some specific strategies to find winning stocks, but for only $15 - I wasn't expecting too much.

What the book has is very basic information on MA, SI, DMI/ADX, and a few others. For each indicator a few sentances on the assets and liabilities are given with a chart thrown in every now and then. The problem is that what is given as a strategy is nothing more than a hint.

The most annoying aspect of this book is its vagueness. They breifly introduce something only to say it will be explained later, I am still waiting for the explaination.

For Example Page 60:
"In order to know exactly when to buy and sell, you will need to be able to define the following variables:"
Trend...
Support...
Resistance...
"The fact is that all three can be ascertained with relative ease. For the time being, suffice it to say that specific methods for doing so will be presented. Our intent at this juncture is simply to introduce you to the concept."

The funny thing is that Trend, which is fairly important, is listed in the index as only on page 60.

Most everything I have read in this book is available on free websites. A lot of web sites will give you a "investing school" or "training" section that is a tease to get you to subscribe. They usually have basic trending, indicator, or charting information available to anyone. That is what this book felt like. You could google trading strategies and get more indepth information that is given in this book.

There are some good books out there on the subject like High Probability Trading by Link, which I am currently going through again. They explain indicators and actually give some Stock Market Strategies that Work {slight pun intended}.

Save your money on this book.

Book is terrible.......2005-01-04

I read the book and agree with the other reviewer - the book is vague and I got the feeling it is really just a marketing tool to get readers to sign up and pay for their website. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK! The authors talk a good game in the book but lack the information to back it up - the title and info it says it provides is just not there.

Horrible Book.......2004-05-03

This book is disgusting. Don't be fooled by the title. I was skeptical, but figured, for ~$15, why not take the chance there might actually be something useful in this book.

This book is nothing but fluff and vagueness. Grandiose claims that go long on promises, but come up short on deliverables. 50% of the way into the text the author is still claiming that more details will be provided later on - by the time you get to the end of the book nothing useful has been provided, just a bunch of buzz-words and phrases to give the illusion that you actually learned something you could apply.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.

Book Description

a very public offering

"Stephan Paternot has incredible drive, the kind of drive you see in people once in a lifetime. He's a young Richard Branson. He has this `positive irreverence' that allows him to tackle incredible things against all odds and the establishment, and lift people with his vision and enthusiasm. What he did with theglobe.com is purely phenomenal. He made business history." --Laurent Massa, Co-founder and Former CEO of Xoom.com

"Even for one who was there, Stephan's recounting of the entrepreneurial journey of theglobe.com is a great read. It brings back the thrills and spills of this Internet saga. Those reading it afresh are in for a real treat." --David H. Horowitz, 'Angel' investor and (until 2000) a director of theglobe.Com and former CEO of MTV Networks

Great read - must for young entreprenuers!.......2007-09-17

This book was great! It is inspiring and touching and informative about the inner workings of the tech business in the late 90's. Being that I have several ideas of my own which I'm attempting to get off the ground it was a great read for me - so much so that I read the entire book in a day. That's how easy of a read and how interesting this book is!

a whitewash by a callow founder.......2006-11-17

At an age when he should have been interning in an NGO or assistant-managing a fast food outlet, Paternot became a tycoon on paper. That was a topsy-turvy, demented era that evokes only embarrassment and disdain now. Now Paternot, who was part of vaporizing trusting investors' money, tries yet again to make a few bucks off the corpse of that era. Don't help him. Borrow the book through interlibrary loan (it is unlikely your particular library will own it) and struggle through his amateurish prose for free.

A great story.......2004-01-07

I really enjoyed this story. Having grown up in the same time I could relate with the description of reality as the writer describes. He is clearly not a writer by profession, which makes the book seem even more genuine and accurate. This book is a keeper!

excellent book!.......2002-11-27

I just finished reading this book and I just wanted to say that I think this story is very fascinating. It was akin to reading a private diary. ( I wish I could write like that too.) To be so young and hit it big is the sort of thing that people dream of, myself included. I am 30 years old and so I can relate to some of the things he went through. As was pointed out, on the one hand, Steph and Todd had to conduct themselves as mature businessmen running a company. And on the other hand, he wanted to act the way other 23-year olds act, fun-loving and party-going, with boundless energy.

The last chapter, The Second Coming, was my favorite, as he poses self-searching questions about what new direction to take with his life. I find myself in the same position at this very moment. Good for him that he found his calling--- writing and acting. Hope to see the movie when it comes out.

Internet mania.......2002-07-09

I am 29 years old and was looking for a book to read by an author of my generation. And I stumbled across this one by Stephan Paternot. His true story almost reads like a novel because it sounds so exciting and adventurous. Being about the same age as the author and having been swept through Internet mania and lost my share of money, I found his story very engaging. I saw the review in salon.com after reading the book and was rather disappointed that the reviewer did not share my enthusiasm. Apparently, the book did not meet the reviewer's high intellectual standards, when in fact, Paternot's writing style was (I felt) a major strength in the book. It's as if the negative reviews (from other websites) I have seen are not so much about his book as they are begrudging of Paternot who possesses youth, movie-star looks, worldly upbringing, entrepreneurial family heritage, and Ivy League schooling. So his company failed. But other than maybe Michael Dell or Bill Gates when they were starting out, how many under-30 CEOs do you know have the poise and savvy to lead a highly publicized and publicly-traded company?
