"Ron brings his high–energy trading style to this well–written, fast–moving book. His views are certain to raise a few eyebrows but he′s never been one to line up with the establishment. He also keeps the arcane trading terminology to a minimum, which makes the book relevant to even the novice investor." Guy Adami, Managing Director, Drakon Capital, CNBC′s Fast Money

"In today′s volatile investment climate, it′s imperative for investors to understand the risk of reward. Ron′s stylistic approach is a thought–provoking methodology throughout the process of price discovery." Todd Harrison, founder and CEO, Minyanville Publishing and Multimedia, LLC

"After sixty combined years of being intimately involved in the financial industry, we thought we′d seen everything until we saw Ron′s Lamson Grail timing indicator trading the S&P E–Mini in a live demonstration. To say that we were extremely impressed would be an understatement! Get an introduction to ′The Grail′ in Chapter 12 of this book." Robert Boshnack, Chairman, and Howard Rothman, President, Vision Financial Markets LLC

"I truly enjoyed this book. Any investor will save a hundred times the price of the book by learning without losing. Forty years in the investment business with twenty on the floor of the exchange has taught me a lot, but I still learned from Ron sharing his experiences." Clyde Harrison, President, Brookshire Raw Materials Fund, and founding member, Beeland Management Co. LLC

"With an ease of expression, Ron has identified a number of important clues and benchmarks in this book to help investors deal with the complexities of today′s tumultuous environment. Ron offers in–depth discussions of the lengthy period of stagflation we have just entered but, in his upbeat way, he is quick to point out that volatility, while scary, contains elements of both danger and opportunity. With the objectivity of a mentor, he shows readers how to profit from such opportunity, even in the most topsy–turvy world. I love this book." Steve Shobin, former vice chairman and chief investment strategist, AmeriCap Advisers, LLC
