David does a great job exploring these areas and also helps readers to understand the many pitfalls that await them on their journeys to profitability. Highly Recommended!" -Baron Robertson, Founder Elite Trader.com Great book, David! Beat The Machines is truly an invaluable book for investors of all experience levels. I deeply value the importance that you as well as several of your interview subjects place on back-testing. This alone is worth the price of admission. I have always believed that a strategy that has not been properly back-tested is nothing more than an opinion! If I could stress one thing, it would be to back-test. Your book helps make that abundantly clear. -Thomas Trott, Founder Light Bridge Capital Management, LLC It's been a VERY long time since I've read such a comprehensive yet truly readable and enjoyable book about the financial markets and more specifically all the various tactics traders must consider when risking their hard-earned money.
