--Victor Sperandeo, CEO of Alpha Financial Technologies, and author of Trader Vic on Commodities
"In today's macro-driven environment, Ron provides a roadmap for
investors to embrace macro factors in their investment decisions.
Ron's entertaining stories make complex concepts understandable and
help investors protect their downside. This is an insightful read
about the pitfalls of not having a global macro viewpoint and the
need to stick to a basic set of "Iron Law" investing rules to keep
out of trouble."
--Mark Argento, Senior Equity Analyst, Craig-Hallum Capital Group,
LLC
"Ron navigates the dangerous waters of today’s markets and
proves that he is much more profit than prophet, laying out a short
side strategy that enables investors to surf volatility and come
out a winner. Ron bares it all, and not just the glorious winners
but the painful losers as well, using each to masterfully
illustrate key principles. Like case studies, these investment
stories put flesh on the cold hard axioms and make Ron’s
strategy come to life. This book is a pleasure to read."
--Bob Scott, MBA, investor and fellow student of the "School of
Hard Knocks"
"I was privileged to read an early copy of this book prior to
the financial meltdown in the markets. As the news headlines in the
weeks that followed began to echo Ron's predictions seemingly
play-by-play, I found the book to be almost chillingly clairvoyant
in its timeliness, scope, and accuracy. It’s clear, concise,
and entertaining--a must read for today’s "average Joe"
investor."
--Tom Burchill, author and "average Joe" investor
