Biography of a day trader:

Entitled: Where has all the money gone ?

Author: B.R. Oke

A riches to rags story of how one man thought he could beat the market on a daily basis using nothing but his computer and his own intuition. Selling when the price went down and buying when it went up he quickly found himself on the wrong side of most every price move in every stock he played. Thankfully, his brokerage commissions ended his agonizing trading sooner rather than later forcing him to face his wife who quickly enrolled him in GA (Gamblers Anonymous) and started him on the long road to recovery. In this book you will see through his own eyes and live through every pitiful trade and the weak minded rationalizations he told himself to justify his actions. A must read for all those who would consider entering the exciting world of the "Day Trader".

Forgive me if I trampled. Sometimes my lack of belief in something causes me to do that. Never occurred to me to check the book stores, because I thought that physical writing and editing etc would be to slow and long drawn out a process for them.

I guess I overlooked the fact that some of them will do anything if there's a perceived nickel in it. I'll try to curb my instincts.
