Proven ways to profit from the most critical energy shortage in history
At a time when commodities have taken a hefty hit—crude oil has dropped 28.8 0.000000rom its high on May 2, gold is down more than 25%, and natural gas has corrected 49.5%—one commodity is moving higher by the day.
The fact is, this wonder metal—uranium—is not only moving up, it's continued to set record highs throughout 2006, even during the most severe market corrections. It's up more than 50% this year and a staggering 435ince 2003, and as the Investment U research team knows, chronic supply shortages and unprecedented demand mean this boom is far from over.

As part of a new Investment U series created for the savvy investor, Investment U's Profit from Uranium provides you with the top picks and key strategies to take 3,150% returns or more from the most critical energy crisis in world history.
While the facts are clear and the time is right, only investors who follow the advice found here will be prepared to capture the incredible profits that uranium has to offer.

Investment University's Profit from Uranium.......2007-03-08
In today's turbulent markets, anyone who is looking past Uranium as one key component in a balanced portfolio will most likely regret it.

Beyond Uranium, this book's opening section details "12 Timeless Rules for Investing", while its final section offers sound advice and specific techniques for becoming a successful investor. Good stuff all!
Book Description
Successful trader Mark Whistler draws from the fields of psychology, spirituality, and philosophy to emphasize how self-honesty, self-esteem, emotional balance, and confidence form the foundation of successful trading. He demonstrates how adherence to a small number of core principles vastly improves chances of success, and shares interviews from top traders to exemplify his point that even the most successful traders have had to overcome setbacks.
Customer Reviews:
Too shallow and loose. Not helpful at all.......2007-07-20
The samurai on the front cover made me believe that it's of the high quality of "The way of the warrior trader by Richard McCall". I had been very wrong. The author's heavy coverage of psychology subjects like fear, anxiety, humility, self honesty, goal setting, relaxation, visualization etc (please check the table of content) were too shallow and loose to impress and help, despite the many interviews with financial and sports professionals. The chapter on Developing Intuition (with the legendary option trader Joe Ritchie interview) is particularly disappointing. Perhaps I had been indulged by books like Market Wizards I&II by Schwager, Trading Psychology by Steenbarger and so on. Anyway, I suggest you to give this book a pass.
p.s. Despite my negative opinion, there are some good passages (or I might already have rated it a one star) I would like to share with you.
All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. - T.E.Lawrence pg 3
To win (Liar's Poker) you have to have the "ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups." Trading is exactly the same. It's a constant game of bluffing and emotions. Those who make it are just exceptionally good at reading the emotions of the collective whole. pg 124
Want to stay centered and focused ?.......2007-06-06
This book will undoubtedly put you in the right frame of mind,in your tradeing and in moving forward in life.
When you are in doubt,and freeze up, when the markets move against you,Mark will teach you how to get centered and put it back into perspective and be decisive.
This is a book you will want to read again,because of how positively it makes you feel about yourself and your future! very nice work,thankyou!!!
RW Campbell
Self-Discovery.......2007-06-05
This is a fantastic book. Many thanks Mark, you have done an excellent masterpiece. At the end Trading is like the Olympism, it is the discovery of oneself through an activity that force us to express all our potential.
This book will bring the reader into an intimate journey inside his soul and spirit. Thanks again Mark. Pier Luigi Pellegrino(ppellegr@eutelsat.fr)
What you really need to know,......BEFORE you trade !.......2007-05-05
I would give this book seven stars if possible. This book is written by a real trader, not a "wannabe". The books resonates with honesty, sincerity and things you need to address, if you ever expect to be a solid and consistent trader. I've been trading now for eleven years in the futures market and I have read, sold, and given away a lot of expensive books about trading.
This one is going into my "permanent library" of trading books, which consists now,..of only about ten books. Great work Mark !
An absolute read for anyone in business........2007-04-04
This deeply researched and eloquently presented piece will serve everyone that is seriously engaged in the markets. If you have capital at risk, money to invest, or simply want to better understand your place in the economy, don't just read this book; take it to heart and find your purpose!

Book Description
As the art world gears up for the 100th anniversary of Whistler's death, "a sparkling narrative that gives us a very intimate account of the artist's life."-Hilton Kramer, New York Times Book Review.
He was the most notorious and misunderstood American artist of his time, and also the most influential. To this day James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) is one of the most recognized names in painting because of his celebrated (and endlessly satirized) Whistler's Mother, one of the treasures of the Louvre. He was, to say the least, a character. Born in Massachusetts, he claimed to be a Southerner and wound up living most of his life abroad-in Russia, France, and England (though he could not tolerate more than brief periods in France and thoroughly disliked the English). Whistler's sense of belligerent alienation erupted in ways that were endlessly fascinating to both Europeans and Americans. His insatiable urge to take his grievances to court (including literary and artistic grievances); his feuds and vendettas with such worthies as Ruskin, Wilde, and Beardsley; his acid wit and libelous invective; his ability to set fashions in art, dress, even lifestyle; his love affairs and relentless social climbing-his was a flamboyant life, told here "with clarity, judgment, and liveliness" (Leon Edel).

Find the perfect pairs and you're there...........2007-09-01
As a trader, I found the book gave a good overview on "Pairs Trading", but many of the examples, including the "Trading Diary" on Chapter 22 provided little inspiration to someone looking to make sizeable profits out of pairs trades. For example in Chapter 22, titled the "Trading Diary", after just 30 business days (41 days) the model trade in the book yielded a return of just 1.04%.
Indeed, the basic premise behind the pairs trade, forgetting all the fancy statistics I found is to simply to look at the chart and see if it's tradeable (i.e has it got a range-bound movement!!!). The secret is to find the charts. To accompany this book you really need some good pairs trading software to find these charts. There's limited providers but I'm going to try http://www.pairstrade.com.
Ideal Book for Pairs Trading.......2007-03-16
I strongly suggest to anyone who is interested in the Wall Street strategy known as "Pairs Trading" to read this book. It is extremely well-written and easy to follow. It also provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to build and implement your own pairs trade. Overall, I could not be happier with my purchase and I recommend this book to all. Thank you.
Practical.......2007-01-05
I work in finance and have read a number of books on the topic, I did recently purchase a copy of 'trading pairs'. I havn't finished reading it yet, but I can understand it is a little hard to follow but either way it does target the correct people.
I myself am not a math genius so the simplicity works with me, for hardcore quants this book will leave you fairly unsatisfied, though for everyone else it would be more practical.
A great start.......2006-10-26
If you are new to the concept of trading pairs, like I was, this book really gives you a strong foundation of knowledge to build on. Like any advanced trading strategy, it certainly takes a commitment on your part to really understand the technique thoroughly, but in the end - it's worth it.
An Unheralded Gem.......2006-08-22
I had the occasion last weekend to find a copy of Trading Pairs buried deep in a local bookstore. I was browsing the finance section and have an interest in Hedge Trading. When I saw the title, I immediately picked it up.
What a find! This is an excellent primer for hedge-trading - it lays out the groundwork for novices who may be thinking about Hedge Trading. And then helps the reader use that new knowledge to gain a first-hand, practical, and easy to put into play knowledge of pairs trading arbitrage.
I bought it on the spot, and poured through it that night. To my surprise, the book also went into a fairly deep discussion of more sophisticated trades. Not that a lot of people ask me about hedge trading, or trading pairs, but now, if they do, I'm pointing them out to Whistler's excellent book.

overpriced.......2007-02-07
I thought the booklet of 36 pages was certainly overpriced. The information was not mind blowing by any means. If you were to pick up a copy of Barron's at the library, you could cull this kind of information.

Best resource we had with us!.......2004-03-20
This book was wonderful -- we did a trip along the Yellowhead using it to direct us to lodging and the "hidden" best places -- and the only time we went wrong on our trip was when we didn't consult the book. We're planning another trip this year, because we didn't get to all the places the book directed us to.
BTW -- Louise's Kitchen in Smithers has what may arguably be the best food in Western Canada!
Some things should remain hidden.......2003-07-28
We just returned from a trip to BC where we used this book in conjunction with others. Some of the information is useful, but time and time again we were disappointed, especially in the area of lodging. Several B&Bs and Lodges that were given very positive reviews were either very ordinary, motelish or were just plain dreadful. There is a good reason why these are hidden, and should remain so.
