    Trading Book Review: The New Sell and Sell Short

    Friday, April 8th, 2011

    The New Sell and Sell Short

    Author: Dr Alexander Elder
    RRP $52.95

    Trader Dealer clients receive FREE freight!

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    A detailed look at one of the most underestimated aspects of trading-selling, In The New Sell and Sell Short is the second edition by Dr. Alexander Elder.

    In this book he explains how to exit a stock at the right time and how to initiate a short position to profit from a stock that is showing weakness. Often overlooked, selling properly enables a trader to cut losses and maximize profits. Moreover, short selling in a weak market can generate big profits and should be a part of every trader’s arsenal of tools. The new edition contains numerous examples of short selling stocks from the 2008-2009 bear market, demonstrating very clearly why traders do themselves a disservice by only focusing on the long side. In addition, the new edition contains an extensive study guide to help readers master the material prior to trading.

    Trading Book Review: Sharebuyer’s Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom

    Friday, March 11th, 2011

    Sharebuyers Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom

    Allan Trench
    RRP $34.95

    FREE freight within Australia for Trader Dealer clients

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    The Australian Mining Industry is a major contributor to the national economy. The export revenues from the various metals and minerals mined from ‘The Lucky Country’ read like telephone numbers; make those international telephone numbers.

    Dubious investors may be concerned whether what has become a hot sector of the Australian Sharemarket will continue to show growth in 2011, or whether all the future value of high commodity prices have already been priced into resources company share prices? For some resources stocks, the answer is yes: The values of some companies in this author’s opinion have become stretched. But for other resources stocks the answer is absolutely not: There are still spectacular share price gains around the corner for a number of resources stocks.

    A Sharebuyer’s Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom will help you evaluate which stocks in the mining sector have the best chance of outperforming the market.

    This book also includes an A to Z (Aluminum to Zinc) of commodities and company profiles of 40 Emerging ASX-listed Resources Companies.

    About The Author

    DR ALLAN TRENCH is non-executive Chairman of ASX-listed Navigator Resources and a non-executive director of Venturex Resources, Pioneer Resources and Hot Chili. He holds a doctorate in geophysics, a masters degree in mineral economics and an MBA (Oxon). Allan is Adjunct Professor at the Western Australian School of Mines and a regular speaker at international conferences on the outlook for the mineral resources sector. Allan is also an Associate Consultant with CRU Group, a global independent advisory consultancy serving the mining and metals sector.

    Also by Allan Trench: Top Resource Stocks 2007, 2008 and 2009 and Insider’s Guide to Investing in Australian Mining and Resource Stocks.

    Trading Book Review: Shares to Buy and When

    Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

    Shares to Buy and When – 2011

    Jim Berg
    RRP $29.95

    FREE freight within Australia for Trader Dealer newsletter subscribers

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    This book takes all the hard work out of the analysis and gets you on the road to investing in a fraction of the time!

    Over the past 12 months it hasn’t been easy for traders and investors alike to make money on the sharemarket. I have had thousands of investors and share traders coming through the doors of my shop wanting information to further their knowledge on how to evaluate shares using both fundamental and technical analysis.

    Few books discuss both disciplines in detail, leaving the final, time-consuming analysis to the individual. I have found that time is the enemy of most of these investors and share traders, so I was delighted to have ‘Shares to Buy & When’ to recommend.

    I was overwhelmed by the huge response to Jim’s book. The consistent message from all who read the book, was that Jim took all the hard work out of the analysis, and allowed them to get on with what’s important – family, work and the markets.

    It is again with great pride that I am associated with the 2011 edition and I have a feeling that each edition of Shares to Buy & When will become a must-have in all traders and investors libraries.”

    Trading Book Review: One Good Trade

    Friday, January 14th, 2011

    One Good Trade

    Mike Bellafiore
    RRP $77.95

    Trader Dealer Price $68.00

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    One Good Trade

    The proprietary trading firm consists of a group of professionals who trade the capital of the firm. Their income and livelihood is generated solely from their ability to take profits consistently out of the markets. The world of prop trading is mentally and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it offers substantial rewards to the select few who can master this craft called trading.

    In One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading, author Mike Bellafiore shares the principles and techniques that have enabled him to navigate the most challenging of markets over the past twelve years. He explains how he has imparted those techniques to an elite desk of traders at the proprietary trading firm he co-founded. In doing so, he lifts the veil on the inner workings of his firm, shedding light on the challenges of prop trading and gives an insight on why traders succeed or fail.

    An important contribution to trading literature, the book will help all traders by:

    *Emphasizing the development of skills that are critical to success, such as the fundamentals of One Good Trade, Reading the Tape, and finding Stocks In Play

    *Outlining the factors that really make the difference between a consistently profitable trader and one who underperforms.

    *Sharing entertaining, hysterical and page turning stories of traders who have excelled or failed and why many, trained by the author, with an essential trading principle wrapped inside.

    *Becoming a better trader takes discipline, skill development, and statistically profitable trading strategies, and this book will show you how to develop all three.
