Last Book, eh?


my Last Book


From (about) 1995 to (about) 2010, I studied stock market strategies, figuring I could make a $bundle.
Needless to say, I didn't, but became fascinated with the subject and wrote a gaggle of essays in HTML format.
Having retired after some 30 years as a math prof, I was intrigued by the mathematical components.
Recently, I decided to write about what I learned in the form of seven eBooks.
More recently, I combined all seven into a single, gargantuan tome, namely *this* eBook.

(Alas, the earlier eBooks suffered from the conversion from HTML to eBook format. Hence, the price reduction to $0.99 for each of them.
Most of the sloppy conversions have been corrected here ... *I hope*
... hence the price of $9.99 :^)

If you hate math (doesn't everybuddy?), you won't like this eBook ... tho' there are 500+ pretty charts!
It's a conversation betweem me and my sidekick - who seems to question every statement I make!
(Indeed, that's what I did during the 15 year investigation of stock market trading rituals.)
I learned a lot, made a $little and enjoyed almost everything.
Hopefully you'll do the first and last :^)

Book Seven:

The contents?
Lots of awful mathematical stuff
on Stochastic Calculus and
its application to the markets.
(Because of that, this guy sells for just $0.99)

Did I mention that this is GREAT FUN !?
