Description of Uncertainty and Expectation

"If one adds Gerald Ashley's innovative thinking to his track record as a successful trader and his wealth of experience in central banking, this book makes compulsive reading!"
- David Buik, Cantor Index

"I would take issue with some of the author's comments about economists and technical analysts. But that said, by stripping back the markets to their basic essentials this book does an excellent job in explaining the core elements of investment and its associated risks to the inexperienced investor."
- Deborah Owen, Investment Research of Cambridge

"A bang up-to-date journey through the issues that influence and affect dealing in today's marketplace. Whether you are searching for the elusive snake oil of investment success, or simply to improve your understanding of markets, Gerald Ashley has produced an insightful, entertaining book that will help develop your knowledge."
- Clive Turner, Bullion Banker
