 Excellent., 2008-08-12
I have been a subscriber to Mr. Fry's ETF Digest newsletter for the past 4 years. His insight and commentary have been extremely helpful in guiding me, along with his subscribers, on how to maneuver thru this volatile market minefield. One needs to be nimble and open and those who wish to protect their long-term purchasing power cannot afford to park funds exclusively in CDs and money markets anymore.
Mr. Fry's book provides its readers an education and understanding of the world of ETFs. Highly recommended. Those who understand volatility, market breadth data, and other related subjects and who can combine that information with a fundamental + technical approach have a much greater chance of success than those who ignore market sentiment.
[Regrettably, the lowest mark given by one reviewer is entirely undeserved and marred by an elitist viewpoint. A disservice at best.]
The author's book and blog must be read in tandem. Principal protection must become the primary focus in order to preserve capital to fight another day.

Excellent., 2008-07-17
Dave Fry writes about the essential approaches of global macro long/short and aggressive growth strategies in constructing and building your personal hedge fund using ETFs -- one that can take advantage of both bullish and bearish conditions in today's market environment.
Good section on the resources and tools for the novice trader who wants to become more active and market-street savvy.
Chapter 10's discussion on the use of both technical and fundamental approaches, as well as trend following, to achieve the alpha that most investors seek is particularly relevant. Anything exposed to a market has a behavior because of the human element driving the market entity, and TA facilitates in understanding that behavior. Ignoring it is careless.
I highly recommend this book.
Further, his annotated charts and commentary on his Dave's Daily ETF Blog is extremely valuable. I've been following it now for the last two years and he has been right on the money.
His blog is a must read.

A good read., 2008-06-19
It has useful nuggets of information for the novice investor as well as some concepts that I believe every professional investor/financial advisor should be aware of in this volatile one world market. The author offers short-term or long-term approaches and methodologies to using ETFs in the construction of your own portfolio. Very helpful and he presented it in a straightforward manner that was easy to read and understand. Not one of those authors that "talks down" to the reader and tries to impress you with their self-inflated and more often these days, highly-conflicted opinions.
Definitely worth a spot on the shelf if you are inclined to read investment books!

A good read. Highly recommended., 2008-06-19
I am an avid fan of Mr. Fry's amusing Dave's Daily Blogs especially his excellent technical chart analyses. True to his style, this book is easy-to-read (conversational), easy-to-understand yet has a wide range of learning tools so that the reader develops practical skills that may be used immediately.
Chapter 13's Tool and Resources is an entire chapter in finding technical resources and market information links you can use to get started.
Highly recommended. This is a good choice of book.

 Deceptively titled., 2008-04-27
This is an interesting read based on the author's extensive hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of the wily ways of Wall St. But it has precious little to do with the actual rigorous analytical process of creating your own ETF hedge fund! I am, in fact, surprised and disappointed that Wiley Finance (publisher) didn't suggest a more appropriate title.
