Summary: THE ONLY BOOK WHERE THE AUTHOR TELLS SO MUCH ABOUT HIMSELF
Comment: This book is unique. You will not find the magic formula for making money in commodities that so many other books promise and none seem to ever deliver. Here the author takes you on a trip through his mind and heart to explore the self, his family and other social relationships, his career as a commodities trader and his experiments with God himself!
It gives one the courage to understand that just how the author had to scramble for a forgotten potato in the refridgerator to becoming a millionaire! The nice thing you will find here is an honest man explaining the good and bad about his life which many of us would prefer to hide. Many people try to create an "external self" to the public which is not true, but this book is different.
Also quite impressive is the author's family struggle to help the poor in Afghanistan where they went to the point of even adopting an entire family and "set them on their feet" in the United States. In short, God has given us and we must give to others is the best lesson to learn from this author.

Summary: This book blows the cover on the ethical struggle in the pit
Comment: This book is an incredible expose on the ongoing ethical struggle in the commodities pits. A first-hand look at what the market calls a "straight-shooter." Mark Ritchie does an incredible job at detailing his profession and his life, and being completely candid with the reader. A must read for anyone interested in the market, or just a good book. One of my top 20 books, and recommend it to anyone. Thanks again, Mark Andrew Ritchie!

Summary: Author Comment
Comment: This week America has been tragically confronted with our ignorance of the Islamic mind. This maxim holds true from the highest level of our government to the person on the street.
Allow me to cite a few references from God in the Pits that will introduce the reader to the problem: Sawawb is an important component of a Muslim world view. [Cf p. 84] Until it is fully understood, our country will continue to be confused by evil behavior. Sawawb is merit credited by Allah to a follower who inflicts evil on a non-Muslim.
How about the life expectancy of a Muslim who comes to the conclusion that Mohammed was mistaken? [Cf pp. 47, 75, 76, 126]
Please do not accuse me of using a broad brush with which to paint all Muslims. I have many Muslims friends who believe that my interpretation of Mohammed is mistaken. The late leader of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, is an example of a great Muslim who disagreed with my interpretation of Islam. Sadat was killed by fellow Muslims who agree with my interpretation.
History will record September 11, 2001 as a fleeting victory for millions who love Mohammed and follow his teaching.
