This book encapsulates their years of experience with traders and investors, and is a must-read for anyone serious about trading.

Christopher Larkin, VP, U.S. Retail Brokerage, E*TRADE Securities (www.etrade.com)

"The stock market is full of risk and uncertainty, but can bring great rewards to those who plan and execute properly. Rick and AJ give you the navigational tools to profit in the market through this book. Easy to read and understand, this book will help the novice and expert alike reach their financial goals. I recommend The Market Guys to help you along your journey!"

Astronaut Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11, 1969

"The Market Guys' Five Points is much more than five points. Creating a plan, dealing with emotions, trading psychology, and technical analysis are just some of the topics explained."

James Bittman, Senior Instructor, The Options Institute at CBOE, and author of Options for the Stock Investor

"Most people think trading markets is easy, but the process is fraught with pitfalls, snares, and delusions. This book is written by two savvy veteran traders. Applying the wisdom contained here will not guarantee success, but it will very definitely put the odds strongly in your favor."

Martin J. Pring, President of pring.com

"This is a wonderful introduction to terminology and a fresh approach to the stock market. It gives the reader a language and way of thinking that is new, providing a great foundation for further research. These authors are to be commended for an excellent book on the stock market and how it works."

James P. Gills, MD, Director/Chairman of the Board of the Ironman Triathlon

"The Market Guys have created the perfect recipe for financial success."

Nick Nickolas, Restaurateur, Nick's Fishmarket of Hawaii, www.nicksboca.com
