If you're a trader engaged in the daily battle for higher returns ... an investment pro with a dash of the buccaneer in your soul ... come "privateering" with Will Slatyer and discover a system for generating international bounty beyond your wildest dreams! Slatyer, a veteran stock and futures trader, has forged a unique new trading framework - one that's made waves at traders' conferences from Chicago to Tokyo, from Singapore to Sydney. Here, Slatyer reveals his system to readers everywhere for the very first time. And he shares it in such a readable, colorful way that you'll learn, marvel, and profit from every page. "Financial speculation can be termed as a series of fluid attacks on financial markets, using well-financed modern vessels that can avoid high risk by speed and daring, to capture rich rewards", Slatyer explains. Thus today's best financial speculators are like the privateers of old: quick, cunning, not so much ruthless as intelligently prepared, pocketing shares of the plunder to equal the king. Or perhaps you're more like a pirate: opportunistic, exhilarated by pursuit, sometimes fabulously wealthy, but sometimes in danger of drowning in your own bravado. Slatyer helps you fine-tune your speculative philosophy and develop a consistent policy of controlled risk. He shows how to formulate a specific, high-level investing strategy that reflects your goals, capital, temperament, risk exposure, and comfort level, offering computer-assisted methods for those who can spend only limited time analyzing the various world markets.
