Gatis and Grayson have penned a very thoughtful and personal approach to investing in the stock market. As you read this, you will hear a voice of experience. The book is broken into stages for you to go through to accelerate your own development of investing skills and to avoid learning things the hard way . A nice touch is a bullet point style summary of the important points of each chapter called Key Takeaways . This is the kind of book you will read more than once.

Thom Hartle, Director of Product Trading, CQG, Inc.; former editor, Stocks & Commodities Magazine

I have been investing for many years, but it was not until I studied under Gatis Roze and learned the  Tensile Trading concepts that I became truly knowledgeable about how to succeed as an individual investor.  Tensile Trading has helped me to gain clarity of thought, become well organized and better understand my Investor Self . This is an insightful book that investors should read closely and then review on a regular basis. It is an invaluable resource.
