Say what? I was recently contacted by Martha Brozyna, one of the co-authors, of the book Contrarian Ripple Trading and she offered to get me a copy of this book to read and review. I do accept these generous offers from time to time but, as many readers of this blog can probably tell, I’m not always great about turning around reviews very quickly. Also, since I don’t promise positive reviews, I always feel like its nice to give a little plug before I come out with an official review.
And, since this book looks to be a pretty quick read, I’m also writing to let my readers know that I’ll be taking a quick break from reading Margin of Safety
to read this book. I’m sure Seth Klarman just spat out whatever he was drinking, but I’ve only got about three months left of being able to actively trade (I will be starting a full time job soon), so it would seem prudent to spend some time researching trading strategies now as opposed to later. Feel free to sound off if you’ve read this book yourself or know anything about this “Contrarian Ripple Trading” strategy.
Also, for people new to the blog (much to my delight I’ve had an influx of hits lately), let me recap my policy on sponsored reviews. While I will accept requests for sponsored reviews, I don’t promise positive reviews in exchange. I do, however, try my best to see things from all sides and generally will try to highlight both the good and bad of a book or product as I believe there are few things that are completely without merit. If you’d like to see how your tastes match up with mine, check out my past book reviews.
