Being an intermediate level trader, I'm always on the lookout for books that get back to basics. This "Trading for Dummies" seemed like an ideal book for refreshing fundamental trading skills.Likes:*Although intended for intermediate to more advanced traders, this book is simple enough to understand for most novice traders with its "Dummies" icons: Tips, Important points to remember, Warnings, Trader's secret for more advanced traders, and Stockcharts how to.*The authors have solid credentials in the financial world. Michael Griffis, MBA, is also the author of "Economic Indicators for Dummies"; Lita Epstein, MBA, also authored "Bookkeeping for Dummies".*Good reviews of basic trading skills such as fundamental analysis (FA), technical analysis (TA)/charts, developing specific trading strategies based on FA & TA, basics of swing and day trading, derivatives, Forex (Foreign Currency Exchange), etc.*The chapters that I found most useful were Chapter 22: More Than Ten Huge Trading Mistakes, and Chapter 23: Ten Trading Survival Techniques. I've made my share of trading mistakes that were mentioned. Hindsight is 20/20 but it's certainly good to acknowledge mistakes and move on. These chapters are immensely helpful to avoid repeating prior trading mistakes.Limitations:*Lots of information and advice that most intermediate to advanced traders already know from other books, TV, or online trading resources.*Most trading topics covered only skim the surface. There are plenty of other trading books, TV, and online resources that provide more in depth details and information.*Over emphasis and reliance on TA and charts is unsafe. Traders should use ALL resources and skills available. Nothing beats actual trading experience.
