    Description of The Fast Investor

    Malcolm Pryor, who has already written a bestseller on financial spread betting ('The Financial Spread Betting Handbook'), has now written a book for investors.

    "The Fast Investor" has a punchy and economical text, presenting much of its teaching through carefully chosen examples of charts. The focus is on practical trading techniques which are relevant to investors aiming to enjoy the advantages of price movement in the markets, both up and down, rather than for instance adopting a "buy and hold" strategy.
