About this title

From the Author

comments are welcome ...
This was a challenging book to write. Math, because it is so exact, is often made overly complicated. My goal with this book was to explain everything for the benefit of the investor. I avoided statistical complexity and concentrated on explaining formulas and techniques that I thought would be helpful. I am pleased to say that the book has been selling well. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, I would appreciate hearing from you. I expect that a subsequent edition will eventually be coming out, and I will incorporate any reviews, questions or suggestions at that time.
