The Investor's Quotient, 2nd Ed: The Psychology of Successful Investing In Stocks and Commodities

Why do so many traders and investors--ones with sophisticated, powerful, and diligently applied systems--lose? As Jake Bernstein explains in his classic on the psychology of trading and investing, even with the best system the weakest link in the chain is always the trader. The Investor's Quotient offers a complete and highly effective investment psychology regimen that puts traders on the road to consistent profits.

Traders will discover practical, proven techniques for sharpening perception; developing positive attitude and confidence; learning from failures; losing less on bad trades and making more on profitable ones; and finding the system best suited to their personalities.
