Financial Guru Reviews

Written by one of my market heroes, a highly successful trader and money manager, this book is full of insightful fundamental and technical knowledge. I firmly believe that the best market operators are the ones who can successfully mix a blend of both forms of analysis and this is where Sperandeo is a master. Although possibly not a book for the outright beginner, it should be considered an essential read for all above the novice level.
