Skip It...

What did you like best about The Naked Trader? What did you like least?

I didn't like anything about this book. I Hated It..

Would you ever listen to anything by Robbie Burns again?

Never Again.

How could the performance have been better?

Focus more on the subject, less on tea and toast, and stop Trying to be witty.

Who do you think would benefit most from listening to The Naked Trader?

Perhaps British folks who can tolerate his humor.

Any additional comments?

A very British book written by a very British Author. Perhaps the Brits can appreciate this book but this American could have done better buying something else. Full of British colloquialisms. There does appear to be some useful information, but not at all worth what I paid for it.

Dated, not very useful for the American Markets.

A british book written around 1997. Not enough discussion of the American stock markets to be useful to a US trader.

What a gem!

I felt I was taking a bit of a chance on this one (I'm not English and I don't trade on the FTSE), but what a great listen this turned out to be. The material in this book is so practical (some would say obvious but I don't agree). There are no hidden catches and he definitely paints the picture warts and all. It is filled with practical advice and 'real' examples of traps and pitfalls... all the time compelling me to trade smart. Thanks Robbie, you're a POM, but nice work!
