"How refreshing! A book that rises above the old NLP model of the 80's
and provides insights on how our relationship with the market is indeed
a very personal one. Not only has Steenbarger provided some fantastic
tools for the trader to transform his mindset, but he has contributed
unique trading ideas as well. Brilliant!"

"'Investigate, before you invest' was for many years the slogan of the
New York Stock Exchange. I always thought a better one would be,
'Investigate YOURSELF, before you invest.' The Psychology of Trading
should help you increase your annual investment rate of return.
Mandatory reading for anyone intending to earn a livelihood through
trading. "

Almanac
"This highly readable, highly educational, and highly entertaining book
will teach you as much about yourself as about trading. It's Oliver
Sacks meets Mr. Market-extraordinary tales of ordinary professionals and
individuals with investment disorders, and how they successfully
overcame them. It is a must-read both for private investors who have
been shell-shocked in the bear market and want to learn how to start
again, as well as for pros who seek an extra edge from extra inner
knowledge. Steenbarger's personal voyage into the mind of the market is
destined to become a classic."

the market."
