Foundation book for coins.......2007-09-30

This is the first book a person should buy when entering into coin collecting. It gives a base to prices and where one might start.2008 Guide Book of Us Coins Redbook (Guide Book of United States Coins)

coin book-just what I needed.......2007-05-12

I ordered this book for my son as he is beginning coin collecting. He took up that interest after seeing the collection that my grandfather handed down to me. The book was perfect for showing him what these coins are worth today.

owlwise "comments".......2007-05-07

This is a very comprehensive, filled with pictures, easy to understand and follow guidebook for a beginner, as well as a serious collector.

Can't get by without the 2007 Redbook.......2007-04-06

Just like every other edition of the Red Book for US Coins this edition is well designed and bound (rings). I have had hard cover, paperback style, and the ring bound style redbooks in the past and prefer the ring bound for daily use.

Superficial at best..........2007-08-08

I just finished reading this book and after reading more than a dozen of books on forex and day trading I must say the book is a waste of money. Most of the topics in the book are covered superficially and the few trading strategies presented are poorly documented and contain errors.

Not so useful!.......2007-07-15

In my search for good FX trading books, I found no good book yet, and this book is no exception. This book is poorly written, has no consistent flow, and it does not lead the reader anywhere. Just few areas I found somewhat interesting like correlation between pairs, and volatility as a function of time of the day, and that is why I gave it a rating of 2. Otherwise, 1 will be enough. Someday someone may write a good FX trading book that really respects the intelligence of the reader. Not all FX retail traders are losers!

Superb resource for all active forex traders - highly recommended!.......2007-06-04

Kathy Lien has written one of the most important "must have" books for active forex traders with "Day Trading the Currency Market".

Packed with practical insights and solid trading setups, she's written a superb book that's packed with useful trading how-tos, from one of the most respected forex authorities found.

Specifically, I found her correlation tables and volatility indices very valuable, as well as her step by step explanations of how to look for both fundamental as well as technical market-moving patterns. I'm recommending her book to all my Forex traders on my forexonfire dot com site, as excellent resources to own.

Additonally, she's provided superb explanations of how the mechanics of currency trading works, and the impact of various market opens, when and how to trade various technical chart patterns, and much more.

This book, along with Boris Schlossberg's excellent "Technical Analysis of the Currency Market", are the two best forex books on the market and are highly recommended.

Good trading,

great book i used it always when i first entered forex, and still do. lots of knowledge and wisdow. not to mention it teachs you some stratagies.lots of books say they show you stratagies, but few deliver. this is one of them that does. this book was recommended to me as intermediate but i think it is a must have beginners guide, worth 4 of my beginners guide books.

Close to Ideal, Casi Perfecto.......2007-01-18

A lot a very important information for beginers and medium traders.
It is very complete from the fundamental view, has a couple a trading thechniques that I guess that works in real trading.
Overall great book!.More than I expected!
To be perfect She must write down more techniques to trade.
Is not nice the advertisement that she perform a long the book, due to the fact that the "Real & Good" information that she mention is not free in fxcm.
Finally read this book definitelly made me a better trader!!!.

Un monton de informacion muy importante para Traders principiantes y medios.
Es muy completo desde el punto de vista fundamental y tiene varias tecnicas de trading que al parecer funcionan en el trading real.
En general un gran libro,Mas de lo que esperaba!
Para ser perfecto ella tendria que haber escrito mas tecnicas de trading.
No es agradable la publicidad que le hace a FXCM a lo largo de todo el libro ya que las herramientas "Buenas y reales" no son gratis en FXCM.
Finalmente leer este libro me hizo un mejor trader!!!

Saludos
Muchas gracias Lien !

Book Description

Praise for ADVENTURES of a CURRENCY TRADER

"A truly easy, unique, and enjoyable read! Rob has done it once again to teach us in the funniest way possible how not to make the most common trading mistakes. If you are tired of reading how-to books, this is perfect for you. I highly recommend this book to all traders. Everyone will learn something about themselves by reading this book."
—Kathy Lien, author, Day Trading the Currency Market, and Chief Strategist, www.dailyfx.com

"Adventures of a Currency Trader is a must read for anyone who has ever traded or is thinking about trading in the Forex markets. Rob Booker has a unique way of taking years of market knowledge and transforming it into an educational and entertaining experience. It has quickly become a cult classic in my trading library!"
—H. Jack Bouroudjian, Principal, Brewer Investment Group

"Brilliant! Rob's humor and humanity shine through in this parable about trading and life. Filled with wisdom and wit, it's an exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the peaks and valleys of the learning curve, with many valuable lessons learned along the way."
—Ed Ponsi, President, FXEducator.com

"Rob's fable of everyman 'Harry Banes' is destined to become a trading classic. This is both the missing piece and the foundation that comes before the strategies and methodologies. The search for the Holy Grail begins and ends in the heart and mind. The journey is authentic and real and if you're willing to take it with Rob, you will be rewarded in the end. Seldom has psychology and wisdom been so entertaining!"
—Raghee Horner, trader and author of Forex Trading for Maximum Profit and Days of Forex Trading

"In a series of insightful and entertaining vignettes, Rob Booker teaches both the novice and the experienced trader some hard won truths about the currency market. It's a must read book written by a guy who survived the trenches and went on to prosper in the biggest and most competitive financial market in the world."
—Boris Schlossberg, Senior Currency Strategist, Forex Capital Markets LLC, and author of Technical Analysis of the Currency Market

Customer Reviews:

Excelent book.......2007-10-17

Adventures of a currency trader is very enjoyable to read and educational as well. I read it in a couple of days, could not stop reading. Among all the literature available for trading, and trading the Forex market in particular, this book is a genuine pearl. Probably every currency trader recognices himself in same way, I did!
Congratulations Rob !

Misadventures of a Currency Trader might be more appropriate........2007-10-17

I've been trading the forex for about 15 months and I think this book has addressed every mistake I've made (and there have been plenty!) It's comforting in a way, to know that most of the traders out there have made the same mistakes. If you've read other books on trading, this book will be a refreshing change because it's told in a story format yet you'll still learn from it. Very enjoyable read...I highly recommend it.

Good for a beginner like me!.......2007-10-17

This is the first book I've read in this area. Easy to understand the concepts, ideas of the writer. Actually, it's very helpful to me, as a beginner. I am still trading demo and have not go live yet.

Funny, Smart and Engaging.......2007-10-11

This was not my intentional purchase...it was one of those "purchase with purchase" pitches, I bit. So glad that I did. What a great insight into the minds of wannabe traders, novice traders and those of us that have managed to hang on by our fingernails for a period of time...all sharing a common thread. Rob Booker has nailed the mindset and the motivation that every forex trader experiences. This is a quick read that all traders, no matter how experienced, will relate to on some level.

Good Read, but only tells what can be wrong ..........2007-10-06

It is in a story form and lets you read quickly. Telling you about how a novice can get everything wrong, but then how to make it right was not cover in detail, probably making it too easy. The man in the book more or less lost his account in the first few trades, very typical, but then he can do it right and start making money soon afterward, not very typical .... my understanding.

Overall, fun to read, but I don't learn much from it.

sturdy/well made.......2007-10-19

This coin album works great. The coins are a little difficult to get in the slots however, that means they will not easily come out. I did a collection for my son and plan on making one for my neice and nephew. It is a great thing to keep and for children to work on collecting each coin. I love that it has a spot for each mint.

My son is having a ball.......2007-08-04

My son is collecting the 50 State quarter set. He's having fun and we're getting our money's worth from the folder! I would definitely recommend this item to amateur collectors.

You Get What You Pay For.......2007-07-17

I was a bit disappointed after receiving this item. It is a good value for the price, I suppose, but the binding was much flimsier than I expected and on the inside, the blue paper had been scratched and repainted with blue paint several shades lighter than the paper. This was just in one small area, but it stands out badly.
However, if you are not too serious a coin collector (as I am) and just want something quick to keep coins in that resembles a collector's book, then you might like this for the convenience and the lower price.

pretty good.......2007-07-12

looks robust and comes with a lot of useful information.
Just be careful putting the quarters in, they fit in a little tight.
Also to pop them back out, press from behind, dont try to pry them out, i learned the hard way!

Quarter Binder.......2007-06-08

I had been looking for these for my kids for a long time. The only negative is that the quarters are hard to get in but at least they won't fall out.

Excellent Resource.......2007-09-10

Those who collect world coins from the twentieth century will find this catalog an invaluable resource. Whether it is coins that an ancestor brought home from a war or the left over money from a trip overseas, this catalog will help you quickly identify where it is from, the metal composition of the coin and a general price guide to its current value as a collectible item. There are helpful pictures that show the actual coin you are researching. If you collect 20th century world coins this book is for you. If you have only a few coins to identify you might be better off consulting a friend or a coin dealer who may loan you a copy or let you look through theirs.

Book Description

There’s a special comfort in collecting, in surrounding yourself with familiar objects and building a store of assets. The allure of money is especially strong. Coins represent real value. The warmth of silver and the weight of gold are irresistible to some. Coins travel throughout the world and through time itself, representing and absorbing history as they pass from one person to the next. Oh the stories coins could tell if they only had voices.

Coin-collecting is a relaxing and inexpensive (although it can be very expensive!) hobby. If you buy properly, coins can be an excellent place to park your money for a rainy day, and if you buy the right coins and the market improves, you may even be able to make a profit on your collection. In fact, numismatics (the fancy term for coin collecting) offers more riches than you may realize. This rewarding hobby also opens the door to some serious life skills, such as

History
Geography
Observational skills
Organizational skills
Analytical tools.

This book is designed to appeal to collectors at every level, from beginner to advanced. This is not a hardcore coin book; rather, Coin Collecting For Dummies is a great general reference that points you in different directions for further investigation. Perhaps the most important goal of this book is to get you excited – and to keep you excited – about coin collecting. Coin Collecting For Dummies covers all these topics and more:

Deciding what to collect
Storing your collection correctly
Finding out about repaired, restored, and recolored coins
Pricing world coins
Finding a good coin dealer
Buying at auction
Understanding that condition equals value
Exploring the wild side with rare, expensive, and esoteric coins
Selling your coins

No one needs coins, but if you decide to collect them, you certainly need this book. Coin collecting can sometimes be a confusing maze of choices sprinkled with little traps along the way. Sure, you can go it alone, but why not make your journey into numismatics a lot easier by picking the brain of an expert collector and learning from the mistakes of others.

Excellent Purchase.......2007-10-09

I purchased this book for my nephew who showed an interest in coin collecting. I started reading it before giving it to him and I learned a lot! It was written in a straight-forward method, clear concise. (I gave it to him a week later)

Great broad overview for new collectors...........2007-05-27

I intended audience for this book is people getting into the hobby of coin collecting. As such, it covers a lot of ground in about 400 pages. It is written to be interesting, engaging, fun and informative. It accomplishes these tasks and gives anyone a good grounding in coin collecting. While there are other books I would get a along with this one, this is a wonderful place to start for people of all ages.

Typical Dummies book-For Newbies only.......2006-11-10

Yeah, its a Dummies book, but if you could only see how many of these books I own! This is good for beginners. I needed it to learn the basic terminology of my new hobby. It worked for me, but even a newbie quickly gets beyond the Dummies stage and wants more.

Standard Catalog of World Coins:1801-1900.......2007-01-10

Material is horribly dated. Publication date apparently 2004, using 2001-2003 price date. Effectively useless.

You MUST show date of publication in description of item.

Not likely to buy again.

Great place to start your education about trading the Forex.......2007-10-22

This book combined with their website: www.PFXgloabal.com will help anyone serious about learning what the Forex market is all about. I wish I would have started here 2 years ago. John Jagerson and Wade Hansen will teach you how to look at trading the FX market from a long term perspective combined with commonsense fundamentals and a view basic technical indicators.

You can only read it once.......2007-10-09

If you have no experience in FX trading, you will find the book useful and quite easy to understand, although there are some misleading information as someone has already mentioned.

However, if you read it again you will find lots of arguments in the book are not very convincing. For example, in chapter 6 when the author was talking about the Tic data, He list some general theory and USD/JPY charts as well as the notorious 'demand and supply' page place holder, but didn't give any real tic data during that period to prove his point. I don't want to say his conclusion is incorrect, but here I really need some insight. For example, how the tic data and rate are correlated ? Please give me some data , so that I can quantify the correlation (at least to some degree). I would say before using the using the 'tools' list in the book, you'd better do some research and find some historical data to do some back test.

thousand mile begin with the first step.......2007-07-03

very nice book for novice. this book story about what is behind the forex market. National Debt,Inflation,Interest rate statement everything are inside in this book.

look for something else.......2007-05-09

If you have some understanding about the economy look for something else. The book is too basic. All the time you see same supply/demand charts. Even at university for me it was enough to see them once to understand. Why do they have to be on every second page in the book about forex market? If it would be named "Forex for Dummies" that would be the right title.

Some times it is misleading eg. when authors compare for example forex with futures or options, or the statement about guaranteed stops...

I've bought this book and now I'm looking for some thin else that I would be able to use... This is when I'm posting this comment... because this book appeared among search results once again...

Forex made clear.......2007-04-12

It is really a great book.
It introduces the key factors that move forex market(fundamentals) and tools to know how the market will move drove by fundamentals(the technical analysis). It translates the economic factors in what really moves the market, i.e, supply and demand.
Here, technical analysis is used as tool to pinpoint entry and exit points and, again, to look how the market will move.
I am not experienced in forex, I am just starting and this book helped me a lot, to make things clear. It gives you a start point with which you can build your own trade strategy.
Although it is a basic level book, its a great start point.
After read this book, its worth have a look at Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) to dig deeper in technical analysis and also The Secrets of Economic Indicators: Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends and Investment Opportunities to improve your understanding in how economy afects the market.
