The reason why it's more of a personal journey than an investment strategy book is because I believe a lot of my gains were due to my naivety, cockiness, etc aka all personal. Of course, it was a double edged sword because I was rewarded for being undisciplined and as you read, it came back to bite me.More importantly, contrary to popular belief, microcaps and smallcaps are just as liquid and volatile as ever. On November 1, 2007, I went back to my $12k roots and I intend on turning that into $1.65 million....again. This time around, I'm posting all my trades and ideas on my website so everyone can learn this stuff! Gad you liked my book!

I think the two things I took away was that the regulations on advertising hedge funds are harsh. Also the last chapter where it seemed that he moved from trader to investor was pretty good.
