Both of Larson's books are well worth the read. His treatment of trading splits is an absolute read for anyone who want to profit from stock splits whether by stock purchase or using the option route. Mark has mastered advance technical analysis, and has an uncanny ability to teach that master. I have met Mark on a few occasions, and he is really one of the good guys. He passionately cares about helping others succeed, and demonstrates that both in his seminars, mentoring program and through his books.

I enjoyed the book a lot. I have had the opportunity to work one on one with Mark Larson for a few years and I have learned a lot. I have passed this book on to a few friends that really appreciated the information especially on options. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a good primer on the basics of investing online.

(Hide Review...)  Another waste of time from a complete idiot
Reviewer Permalink
See my review of his other waste of time for more detail. I have met his guy and know that he is just a terrible trader. Everyone made (and lost) in the late nineties into 2000. The key to successful trading is having a set of methods that can work in any market, or at least keep your losses limited during tough times. This book niether provides any insight into profitable strategies that work today or lessons on how to keep losses to a minimum (in fact I KNOW that his guys averages his losing trades...losers average losers, mark). Avoid this waste of your time. Spend toime reading the educational resources on your own brokers website instead. Its free.

(Hide Review...)  It's a good book but we need more UPDATED strategies
Reviewer Permalink
This book was very good back in the 2000-2002 era. Rigth now a trader needs more practical and up to date strategies.

Day trading is all about making buy and sell decisions. When you make a trade either your going to lose money or your going to make money, and some other times you will break even. When you win some body else will lose and so forth, but that's NOT what's important.

The most important aspect of day trading is the knowledge FILTER you employ to make your buy/sell decisions. There are many "fantastic" strategies outhere, but you need to test them in order to discover which ones help you the most. That's part of your homework as a daytrader. Test, test and test again.

Complicated strategies that rely on a "boat load" of technical indicators can make you slow, and being slow in this game can be as dangerous as not knowing what to do in the first place.

I think the worst thing that can happen to a beginner trader is to get information overload. It's better to go step by step, and test a simple strategy that can show you how to focus on concrete ways to make money.

Fortunatly there are some good sites on the web today that can show you how to trade in a practical and effective way. One of those sites is Sharp Trades (SharpTrades com)

In the end, day trading is all about buying and selling according to your knowledge FILTER. Once you master and follow youre proven filter parameters like a clock, you can expect to start making serious amounts of cash on a consistent basis.

(Hide Review...)  Deceiving Title of the book
Reviewer Permalink
This is definitely NOT one of my favorite books about stocks. The title of the book is a little deceiving, the author talks a lot about option instead of stocks and half the book is about stock splits.

Chapters 1-4 are about general info, such as you must buy and sell to make money, don't hold for a long time. You must research the stock before purchase, EPS must increase every year. I didn't find anything in those chapters that I didn't already know.

Chapters 5-10 is all about stock splits and when to purchase the stock as well as when to sell. Once again, the author talks about the obvious; buy when you hear that stock is splitting and sell after the split before the after split dip.

Chapter 11 gets into more advanced trading techniques, the bull put spread. This is not something that I use or will use in my trading.

Chapter 12 is the concluding chapter

(Hide Review...)  Break free from the buy and hold strategy.
Reviewer Permalink
Trading Stocks Online has great opened my mind to changing my the way I think about investing. It is hard to break free from the buy and hold mentality. Investing should treated like a business. Your in business to make money; if your not making money then why are you in business?

The book starts off by helping the reader develop a dream and then explains the basics on how to protect those dreams by running your business, placing stop losses, and knowing when to get out. This book also has wonderful insight in to strategies that are easy to understand and implement.

(Hide Review...)  Gain valuable knowledge about the market
Reviewer Permalink
Mark Larson's book is a down-to-earth treatment of how to be successful in the stock market. His straightforward approach deals with the important issues of timing in the market, knowing when to sell, knowing how to read indicators successfully, but most importantly, how to develop an attitude of treating this as a business and learning how to make wise business decisions when it comes to your day to day decisions regarding your portfolio. I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about gaining the type of knowledge you really need to be successful in the market. Thanks, Mark!

(Hide Review...)  A ýparadigm shiftý
Reviewer Permalink
At first glance Mark L. Larson's book TRADE STOCKS ONLINE appears to be just another compilation of investment strategies. While Mark does an excellent job in elucidating options, stock splits and bull put spreads, his book is much more than this. In essence his book is an invitation: an invitation to transcend our "learned limitations." Psychologists define "learned limitations" as limiting beliefs that keep us from living our true potential. In his book Mark enthusiastically coaxes us from the false belief that in order to have our financial dreams comes true we must trade our time for a paycheck. He empowers us by having us conceptualize trading and the stock market as a business and helps us by dispelling our fears that trading is hard that it is too complicated, that trading is beyond the abilities and comprehension of us mere mortals. In short, Mark L. Larson is a man on a mission-his mission is to help each of reach our financial dreams so that we in turn can help others reach theirs. After meeting Mark I will go out on the limb and say that Mark gets more satisfaction when his students "score big" in the stock market than when he does. If you are looking for a check list of techniques and strategies or if you are looking for some erudite philosophical treatise on stock market investing, then I suggest you look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a "paradigm shift" that will allow you to secure your financial future then this book is for you.

(Hide Review...)  Trade Stocks Online - '101'
Reviewer Permalink
Mr Larson has an obvious and clear understanding of how the stock market works. But the true gift he possesses is his incredible ability to communicate his knowledge thoroughly and in a very understandable manner. Mr Larson's book was like a light house in the middle of the fog of confusing and overhelming stock market information currently available. The book opened my mind to the concept of 'Buy and Sell' for a quick, attainable profit rather then 'Buy and Hold' for the long term. It also opened my mind to strategies in a down market which are particularly exciting since stocks fall 4-8 times faster then they go up. I found this book inspiring and hope instilling. Tap into Mr Larson's experience and read this book.

Mark Larson's book provides real insights into how to make REAL money when the stock market goes up OR down. You often wonder whether the author following the principles outlined would make money. This author is living proof that the principles outlined in the book do make money. It is a complement to the author's other educational endeavors. This book is highly recommended. Thanks Mark.
