Title: CNBC 24/7 Trading: Around the Clock, Around the World by Barbara Rockefeller, CNBC, Barbara Rockefeller ISBN: 0-471-21530-9 Publisher: Wiley Pub. Date: 10 May, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.18 (11 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Misleading
Comment: Whereas this book definitely has its good points, the title is quite misleading. As a matter of fact its focus is quite limited mostly to foriegn markets and evaluating these investments combined with trends within the many international markets. On a general level this is discussed fairly well but the details are explained in a matter where it is assumed that you have taken a good number of economics classes. In addition, the different chapters seem to touch back to the same point that when investing overseas you have to look at not only the stock market but the state of affairs within the country both ethically and economically. You must be a good follower of the currency markets as well. This is not easy for most investors to understand on an in depth basis which is needed to trade overseas.
What is also annoying besides the constant redundancy of this book, is the matter in which the author sites references and website addresses for more information. The author must have included at least fifty if not a hundred sites that support each single example. What would have helped the overall presentation of this book, if the author included a list of helpful web sites to locate key information at the end of the book rather than interspersed within his blah blah blah commentary.
There is some useful information in this book and one who likes to explore new web sites might find more value here. However CNBC could have made this book reach a wider audience by organizing this book in a more easy to read manner. Therefore a 2 1/2 star rating fits the bill.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent resource for serious market watchers
Comment: The last couple of trading books I've picked up (and decided not to purchase)were too fluffy, celebrity driven. This book is different. No theory for theory's sake -- lot's of thoughtful strategies that seriously improved my ability to analyze market trends as well as individual stock offerings. I'm not a professional trader, but I do take investing very seriously and have been doing more of it myself (without a broker) and have begun exploring trading 24x7. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a serious investor and is already familiar with the consistent and reliable financial reporting of CNBC.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent explanation with lots of research leads
Comment: This book is an excellent addition to a collection of a small investor who wants to learn about the benefits of international investing. However, it is also a great reading for somebody who is just starting in the field of Finance. It explains basic concepts very carefully, so that a good base is established for further explanations. Yes, to a certain point it concentrates more on non-U.S. markets, but I believe this is only because U.S. market information is readily available to us every day. The book is very well written and deserves a full five-star rating.
