Customer Reviews:

Very informative.......2007-03-27

I found the book to be very informative in both the fundamental and technical aspects of stock speculation. The book has plenty of historical and statistical data for the stock markets that some may find useful.

Great book from a great trader.......2006-08-16

Mr. Sperandeo's books belong to the classics of trading literature, and yet or perhaps of this, they are not as widely known as they deserve to. They combine a superb research, common sense, and straightforward approach to trading that are far from ubiquitous in the literature that more and more frequently revolves about esoteric nonsense, hype, and self-promotion. Not so in these books, written by a master trader and fund manager with outstanding credentials. Anyone aspiring to successful trading should give these books more than a cursory consideration. There is something for everyone in his books, from beginners to advanced aficionados of trading, so nobody will feel disappointed. Their scope is broader than in many other books on trading, which certainly reflects author's great erudition. His gentle style and numerous personal stories from his trading career guarantee that the books are a pleasure to read. These are books that you may want to revisit time and again to learn more or to get a new perspective on things. There is some overlap between Vic I and Vic II, but definitely not great enough to dismiss Vic II as a rehash of Vic I. I recommend both of them highly to all of my clients and to everyone interested in intelligent, particularly long-term, speculation in the financial markets.

Strong Materials.......2006-06-19

This book has been read and re-read many times over. It has gone over with multiple highlighters. The material is solid. It is a little rehash of Trader Vic I but still is awesome material. I use it consistently as a reference guide. I am always learning things from it. Having said that, I do not consider myself a successful bottom line trader, nevertheless, an intelligent one. I don't trade for a living or even on the side anymore, but this is one book I won't donate to the library.

Better than part I.......2005-12-11

I think this is the better book (as compared to part I). It includes the material covered in Part I, plus other new material/techniques. Definitely worth reading.

Self - Taught.......2005-10-10

I feel Mr. Sperandeo has done a very good job in writing this text book. I think the reveiwer who critized him for not having formal university experience should perhaps learn that EDUCATION comes in many forms and fashion. If one was to look into History,it could be proven that the Greatest Men aside from the Apostles were self taught. It's sad that most of these Great Minds sacrificed their lives for what they knew to be true. We have now made their principles the Foundation and Cornerstone of all Disciplines taught at the expensive universities(I wonder how much you paid). I'd recommend this book to anyone, not just for it's insights pertaining to trading but for any type of business.

Book Description

All persons, in whatever occupation, use interpersonal communication. Mistakes occur because the proper conduction of message and reception among speakers and listeners is marred through verbal and physical (1) inattention, (2) disrespect, (3) mismanagement, and (4) ambiguity.

Because we talk, discuss, argue, and debate among ourselves at home, at play, and at work, communnication is an obvious necessity for both personal and professional growth and strength. The mastery of making one's words effective to another is vital.

This book demonstrates how these problems may be avoided through the demonstration of proper speech making techniques and interactive discussion.

Though packed with information, that is both practical and theoretical, the reader will discover that the lessons revealed will not only improve communication in work and play, but will increase their enjoyment of life and substantially increase their income.

Customer Reviews:

Never read the book, but..........2004-11-25

he is my speech professor. He is great fun to be in class with. He is very smart, and he knows just about everything about speaking (and most other topics). You should buy the book because that is what he would tell you to do.

A brilliant, well-needed book.......2004-06-27

This is a simply tremendous book-a great blend of the techical and the informal-should be required reading not only for Speech and rhetoric but a large number of other college-level courses. The author has acadmic, parctical, and professional experience in a wide variety of areas, conventional and non-conventional, that few others can match. Also, at a great price!

Book Description

The Internet still has many great applications left up its sleeve. Chief among them is the seamless integration of voice transmission with text, audio, video, and graphics -- all delivered simultaneously through the high bandwidth of the Internet. As Chief Operating Officer of Net2Phone, author David Greenblatt guided the firm to a 40% share of this snowballing market, known interchangeably as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or IP telephony. With sister company Adir Technologies, Greenblatt is leveraging his knowledge and vision in collaborations with powerhouse companies like Cisco, Yahoo, AOL, RealNetworks, and Microsoft.

The evolution of Net2Phone and Adir forms the framework for a revealing look at the immediate and long-range future of communication and information delivery. The Call Heard 'Round the World describes the evolution-in-progress of VoIP technology, from its current applications (it powers each of the untold millions of instant messages sent over AOL, MSN, and Yahoo) to the impact it will have on business models and investment strategy in a broad range of industries. In addition to the author's own experiences and perspectives, the book features observations from respected analysts, investment professionals, business leaders and industry experts.

Book Description

Regulatory Competition and Economic Integration addresses one of the hottest policy questions on both sides of the Atlantic: at what level of government should regulation be undertaken? Whether called 'federalism' or 'subsidiarity', the struggle between those who wish to centralize governmental functions and those who seek to decentralize them looms large. Esty and Geradin bring together top-notch scholars from both Europe and the United States to examine the various aspects of the debate between 'harmonization' and 'regulatory competition' across three comparative dimensions: first, across regulatory areas (environment, banking, corporate law, labor, tax and antitrust); second, across models of economic integration (from highly integrated systems, such as the United States or the European Union, to loosely integrated regimes, such as the WTO); and third, across disciplinary perspectives (law, economics, business, political science). The book provides a sharp focus on the circumstances that would yield gains from regulatory competition and to contrast those cases where heightened co-operation in standard setting or broader regulatory harmonization might increase social welfare.
