USED CONFESSIONS FOR SALE
Potential readers of this book should look at the number of used books available for sale. 22 COPIES!!! If that doesn't tell you something I'm not sure what would. At some point in the near future, I expect Mr. Lanyi will have to pay people to read his book. My advice, don't take the bait; life is too short and time is too valuable. "Confessions" contains little of value for either the novice or experienced investor. One last comment to the guy trying to sell an autographed copy for over $20 - you're dreaming. An autographed copy is probably worth less than a normal copy.

St. Augustine Need Not Worry
Look up the word meretricious in the dictionary - you'll probably see the cover of this book. This is the worst type of non-fiction- boring to read, misleading and worst of all dangerous if the "advice" within is followed. Is anyone else suspicious of the sample "client portfolios" provided? Hmmmm....a client has over a dozen positions in the portfolio and guess what - all big winners, no losers. Anyone who has spent a minimal amount of time studying the market knows this is highly unrealistic. Lanyi must think his readers are either suckers or fools. I can only assume he has something on the publisher and/or editor to get them to back this vanity project. After reading Confessions, I wondered why Amazon does not offer the option of giving a book no stars. If ever there was a book that deserved it - Confessions of a Stockbroker is it.

Waste of Time
After reading this book I can honestly say that I didn't walk away with one valuable information other then not wasting my time reading a sequel to Confession of a Stock Broker. A waste of time and a waste of money would be the best way to describe this book. If you're looking to read a book which wont provide you with any benefits then this is it.
