1 out of 5 starsA Pile of Doo Doo, 2003-02-06
This is the WORST BOOK EVER! Sunny Harris should be ashamed of herself - or at least Locked Up!

1 out of 5 starsNo substance, a waste of paper, 2001-09-26
The book starts with 112 pages of very basic information, information for the totally clueless newbie. If you have more than 3 months of investment experience or if you've read 2 beginner daytrading books or if you've surfed investment sites the last 3 months, you won't learn anything new here. The next 200 pages are references, website addresses, and stuff that belongs in a phone directory. Page 189 to page 313 is a listing of NASDAQ stocks!?!?!? All it shows is the ticker symbol, company name and which sector the company belongs to. NOTHING ELSE!!! I would have rated it zero stars if Amazon.com had such a rating. This book is all bun and no burger, I read my copy at the library (313 pages in half an hour). Leave this PoS on the shelf!!!!!

1 out of 5 starsRipped off!!, 2000-10-19
I couldn't believe that I bought this crap. I didn't learn anything from this book. It has so little content. Most of the book is an appendix listing the stocks on the Nasdaq. This is most likely an attempt to make money from the day trading craze. I bought this because of the last few glowing recommendations but they must have been paid to write it. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. There are better ones out there that provides better details on day trading.

2 out of 5 starsNot much substance, lots of filler !, 2000-10-09
This book is 350 pages but all of the relevant information could be squeezed into 1/3 that amount. I got 1/3 of the way into reading the book when I realized that the rest of the book is all appendices. Approximately 127 pages of the book are names and the corresponding symbols of Nasdaq listed companies. This might have been helpful before the Internet, but now it is a waste of space. It does give some basic information for the begginer who has no idea about day trading, however if you base the price on relevant information, in my opinion, the price should be under 10 dollars. If you have a little knowledge about day trading, you will not get much more info from reading this book. If you have no knowledge about daytrading, you might want to look around first, in my opinion,you can do allot better.

1 out of 5 starsalmost worthless for someone trying to start out, 2000-05-05
I am a new investor buying stocks I believe will grow within the next couple years. I enjoy both fundamental and technical analysis (again I am a newbie at this too) but I was interested in doing a little more aggressive trading such as short-term or day-trading.

This book is WORTHLESS. It will only wet your appetite but to pay ... for this is a ripoff. Please DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money on this book. She pads this thing with the listing of EVERY Nasdaq listed stock and loads of other junk. It is insulting. There are less than 100 pages of info that actually tell the reader anything and that didn't even tell me much. This isn't a 101 course or an overview. This is a "class description" found in a college enrollment catalog stretched out over 342 worthless pages.

I returned it the next day (read it in about 2 hours) and purchased Toni Turner's "A Beginner's Guide to Day-Trading." I have not read it yet so I cannot recommend it to anyone.

If you are going to day-trade, please DO NOT think that one book is going to make you a trader. Trading is not a "get rich click" method. Read all that you can get your hands on and practice your technique.
