 Book is very elementary and has too much reference material June 21, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
While I liked the general information in the book, I found it very basic regarding Forex. [...] A fair to good basic discussion of Forex, but lacking in usable information to actually trade with. The discussions of technical indicators is very weak. On page 167 it discusses the "Head and Shoulders Pattern." It defines the left shoulder, the right shoulder, and the Head, but does not say what the pattern means or what a trader could use the pattern for. I would not recommend the book to anyone who is seriously trading the Forex market.
 A Good Reference Book May 23, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
For a novice, I found The Complete Guide to Currency Trading & Investing a good reference book. I would like to have seen a few illustrations to support some of the prose that was a little difficult to follow. For example, illustrations would have helped to better comprehend the descriptions on the symmetrical triangle pattern, flags and pennants pattern.
A Great Tool for Any Trader March 27, 2008
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
Jamaine Burrell's "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" is an excellent reference manual which offers a well-rounded background to foreign currency markets. There are extensive descriptions of each major central bank and their relationships with one another and the global economy as it pertains to currency trading. Someone unfamiliar with trading foreign currencies and the unique language associated with it should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals once reading through this book. As a seasoned stock and options trader, it was refreshing to get a different view of trading from the Forex side of things. The fundamental analysis was very complete and covered many economic indicators for all the major countries. There could have been more detail in the technical analysis portion and it would have been nice to see examples of charts for easier understanding. However, the information provided in the appendices completes the book nicely and makes this book a great tool to keep in any trader's collection.
 A Great Introduction to the FOREX Market March 14, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have heard about currency trading and investing but was not well-versed in this market. Who knew that the Euro may someday replace the United States dollar as the "currency kept in reserve by the world"? I certainly did not. Of course, you see, most of what Jamaine Burrell talks about in his book, "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing," is stuff many of us do not know about until after years of experience in the market of Foreign Exchange (or Forex). This book is especially good for novice investors, who need to have complicated investing concepts explained. The great thing about Burrell's tone is that he is not condescending, or "dumbs down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice.
I was particularly interested in this book, especially as our nation is facing a weakening dollar, because I hear so much nowadays about the foreign markets and how many are investing in and trading currency. Apparently, the Forex market really is an accessible investment that can pay the investor quite well if he or she knows how to get involved in the Forex market and understands how it works.
That is why I felt Burrell's book was so helpful for me. It explains how the Forex market works, why the United States is such an important player in the world market, how to get involved, and does a great job illustrating the many indexes, factors, and issues that contribute to currency-value fluctuation and the overall global economy.
For anybody who fears getting lost in a book about a complex investment market like Forex never fear. Though Burrell quickly dives into terminology, acronyms, and details at length some topics, he clearly was aiming the book toward novice folks like myself and does a good job at clarifying complicated matters and never introduces an acronym (like GDP) without telling the reader what the full term is (Gross Domestic Product) and how it relates to the topic at hand ("The GDP is the yearly total value of all goods and services produced," as he explains on page 157). That is yet another great thing about this book---Burrell's tone is not condescending, nor does he "dumb down" the material. He clearly covers most every complexity about Forex and does so with a professionally instructive voice. If you are looking for a book that introduces and explains some of the basics (and details) about foreign currency trading, I feel "The Complete Guide to Currency Trading and Investing" makes for an ideal guide indeed.
M.oney Trading February 7, 2008
5 out of 14 found this review helpful
Well Jamaine has done it again. She has written another book about m.oney. This time we are going to learn about currency trading and investing.
Now the US dollar is the cornerstone of the worlds economy. What we learn from Jamaine's book is that the euro is now used by 300million people. It is fast becoming a rival.
There is a nice little write up about the G8. Now did you know about the power wheeled by the central bank? When they lower interest rates this makes it easier to borrow m.oney. In turn this stimulates economic growth and consumption.
I've learnt that Japan has the world's second largest economy. Switzerland the 4th largest holder of gold.
The Forex market operates 24hrs a day around the world. The reason for this is there has been an increase in global trade and foreign investment. Forex is a global network of currency dealers.
The Language of Forex, which is found in chapter 4, gives a run down on different terms. Such as:
Base currency
Ticks
Quote currency
Cross currency pairs
Pips
Market order
Limit order
Stop order
She shows how your m.oney can be doubled. Jamaine tells what to look out for and what not to do. There are traps and pitfalls so be careful. Technical analysis is the most used method of making decisions. And always remember, only invest what you can afford to lose.
