The book consists of interviews with some of America’s best-know brokers. They go far in revealing incidents and secrets they acquired during their long experience. Tom Dorsey, himself no lesser expert, interviews them in a clever way. He compliments what they are saying and prompts them with cues that sometimes trigger more details than they may have wanted to give.

Written for the broker the book is highly accessible to the average investor. The many real-life examples and useful practical advice will help new brokers succeed and investors make money. The issues range from the appropriate emotional disposition “the key to success for any broker is confidence” to the utility of technical analysis “the beauty of the Point and Figure method is there is no room for subjectivity.”

Dorsey’s insights extend into the 21st century. He has a clear vision of what the new century (technology and the Internet) has in store for brokers and investors.

Not to be overlooked are the book’s two Appendices. The first one gives summary information on 350 web sites for brokers. The second presents the basics of the Point & Figure Charting technique, something that no ones is to better suited to speak about than Dorsey himself.
