Amateurish - not terribly interesting
This book should be avoided by anyone who is even remotely familiar with the financial markets. If you are trying to teach your pre-teen about how the stock market works, then this may be a decent allegory to consider.The main character Austin, is a simpleton, who asks too many questions. Because this character is always interrupting the other characters, the dialogue is very choppy and lacks the needed cohesion and rhythm that a story needs.
The so called fianancial "strategy" is repeated in detail several times throughout this short book. As a result, these redundancies also help to contribute to the scattered flow of the story.
For those who are familiar with the markets, this story will put you to sleep. The author insists on repeating over and over that earnings and stock prices are directly related, and that most so called professionals are simply speculating when they trade stocks. Certainly nothing new here.
There are other stories out there that should satiate your finance fiction needs. "Conflicted" by Culp would be a strong choice.

A turbulent and involving story of learning to change
Dancing With The Analysts by David A. Mallach is an exciting and unusually well written novel of a son who, when bequeathed a secret gift of a million dollars from the father he never knew, must rise to the challenge and turn his life around - for the money comes only with conditions that will either make him or break him. A turbulent and involving story of learning to change, grow, and adapt, and set in the volatile and often treacherous high finance world of Wall Street, Dancing With The Analysts is an exceptional and very highly recommended read.

His system works!
My lucky days were when I attended David Mallach's financial courses at Temple University and Montgomery County Community College in 1986. My brothers and I had sold our business and I was looking for ways to invest my share of the proceeds as well as my pension fund. Dave's explanation of the financial system of our country and his investment strategies impressed me. After considerabel thought I decided to invest my funds with his employer Merrill Lynch and have Dave manage the account. This was one of the smartest moves I have made. Through the profits received from Dave's system of investments, as described in his book "Dancing with the Analysts", I have been able to afford the same standard of living as when I was in business and still have the amount of money in the account that I started with. His system works and I am one of the fortunate ones to have been benefiting from it these many years. Similar Products
