ABOUT THE BOOK

According to the author, "For years, when my stockbroker called me, I joked that I was 'talking with my bookie.' Is buying stock investing? Or is it a speculation -- a bet? After 40 years of 'investing' in stocks, I decided to try 'gambling.' I used a short term trading scheme I called 'turning on a dime.' I bet on price wiggles, rather than trying to spot a trend. Warning: my bet puts hundreds of thousands of dollars at risk -- with no guarantee of success. Read this book for entertainment, but NOT as an investment guide!"
