They say the best view of the Manhattan skyline is from across the Hudson River. Dave Gretta has spent most of his life analyzing large amounts of financial data, having worked in his twenties in the skyscraper across the street from the New York Stock Exchange as a Financial Analyst for a billion-dollar international financial services corporation.
Dave is also a student of the stock market, earning an MBA in Finance just steps from Wall Street. Now, this brand-new book from the author of the popular stock investing book Night Trading details everything he learned on Wall Street about how to mentally approach and succeed in stock investing…and life. Dave teaches that to attain wealth, you must talk to and learn from people that are already wealthy. Dave details in this book what he learned from meeting a billionaire, a hedge fund manager, a high-profile NFL football player for dinner, a PGA tour golfer, a multimillionaire stock trader, and other stock investing book authors.
Dave is a long-term stock investor, but also does swing and options trading, all while holding down a full-time technology job as a Data Analyst. What is and is not important, in regards to analyzing stocks and stock charts, is thoroughly discussed. The stock market doesn’t care about your investing plan. First, though, you need to have a plan. This book educates you in stock investing no matter your skill level.
