Confusing, and I'm not sure the method still holds up.......2006-06-02

This was the first book I ever read on trading stocks, and it almost turned me off of technical analysis forever. It suffers from a sort of catch-22-the book contains information that is pretty basic (support/resistance trading) and straightforward, and thus should be suitable for a beginner, and yet at the same time Oz's teaching jumps around so much and leaves such holes in the teaching of his techniques that one would almost need to already know what he's teaching before reading the book (which would, of course, defeat the purpose).

This brings me to another point about the clarity of the book. Oz's writing is, well, awful. I wish there was a more delicate way to put it--there isn't. I found myself reading and rereading almost every sentence, searching for a meaning and trying to follow every non-sequitur and piece of faulty logic through to Oz's disconnected conclusions. I recognize that the man is not a professional writer and that some allowance should be made, but I think its enough to have to understand the technique being taught without trying to figure out what he means by every misused word that comes out of context. Of course this criticism is coming from someone who studied literature and history in college, so I guess my judgment can be taken for what it's worth.

As a previous reviewer has pointed out, one of the problems inherent in a system like Oz's is that it depends on the participation of enough people (who also use support and resistance) to make the system viable; otherwise, it fails. I believe his system is too oversimplified for today's market, and I for one only started to make any money to speak of when I moved away from his technique and used it only as an afterthought.

In all fairness to Tony Oz his section on psychology is pretty good, and his risk/reward calculator can be useful (though the formula is so simple and obvious that it could be done easily with a calculator). These points, however, would not be sufficient reason to read the book, let alone buy it at such a high price. There are much better books out there on technical analysis that are easier to get and are much more thorough and straightforward. I'd recommend looking for something more readily available (and published by a major publisher)-I really don't think you'll miss out.

searching for non-randomness.......2004-05-17

I always find it amusing when someone publishes a book detailing a specific trading strategy. Why, because although certain behaviors never change in the markets (fear and greed), the market internals are always changing and evolving. What this means is that virtually all trading strategies become useless over time. This is the most recent of Oz's three trading books, and although published in 2002, it was written mid-year 2001.

Oz started trading during the Roaring Nineties, and in all of his books he states that his trades are always based on support and resistance levels. Support and resistance levels are self-fulfilling prophecies, in that if a critical mass of enough traders believe in such levels, they will cause these levels to materialize by entering and exiting trades at such levels. This works great in powerful markets when such a critical mass of traders are present. However, the 2000-2002 bear market effectively purged the markets of this critical mass of traders, and hence I no longer see consistently tradable support and resistance levels in the major indexes, and also in individual stocks.

Traders are always searching for non-randomness, that is any pattern that repeats itself enough of the time that it can be profitably traded. I have reviewed Oz's system of support and resistance trading, and also his use of scans to find breakouts, reversals and gaps, and have not found them to be viable in today's market. I also note that his website does not appear to have been updated since 2002, which makes me wonder if he is still able to trade profitably using this system. I doubt it.

This book is worthwhile as an introduction to using scans to find specific stocks to trade, if one is interested in trading stocks rather than indexes, which are inherently more risky (for example, Oz mentions that he once was long in a stock at 13 when it was halted for trading; it opened several days later at around 5). Also, his practice of seeking a minimum 3 to 1 return on every trade is important, because it allows you to be profitable even when only 50 percent of your trades are successful. I would not, however, pay the inflated price of the book.

Amazing Book.......2004-04-16

This is an amazing book - in fact it is one of the better trading books that I have ever read.

If you're a novice trader, however, I would recommend you read one of the many introductory books and then a more advanced book on technical analysis before reading this one.

This is a marvelous piece of work by someone that can convey the message to his readers in a very clear way. The book is an easy one to read, it's well put together in simple English. It has a lot of charts and well classified.

this is how a pro would trade.......2003-12-20

this is an easy to read, straight forward book.

tony oz simply shows you how he trades in one month. this is what's in the book. tony oz opens a new account for writing this book. in the next month, he recorded all his trades on this account. giving you every detail about his trade. it is like living in his mind (during trading hours only, of course...) for this month. he tells you how he chose entry and exit points, why he chose them, how he manages his trading money etc everything you need to know to trade well.

this book is about as close as you can get to understanding how to make day trading successful. assuming the author is honest in his writing here (i dont doubt him), he has just shown us how you can make money on ONLY on the long side of the market in one of the most bearish months for decades (he made some pretty decent profits!).

read this book, if only to get some inspiration!

Wasn't expecting this good.......2003-11-20

From some of the negative reviews I was kind of expecting a book that was probably useless except for maybe a few helpful tips. Boy was I wrong. This book is right up there with Alexander Elder's books as far as giving you a widespread view of trading, along with detailed views of Oz's preferred methods. Excellent coverage of money management and risk evaluation. He includes a link to a free download of his risk calculator.

Oz even takes you into his daily world, both psychologically and technically, and has a ton of examples of real trades with detailed explanations of why he made them, why he entered them when he did, and why he exited them when he did. He even includes some of his failed trades. There is plenty of coverage of chart patterns, including candelsticks, and what Oz considers to be the most important indicators.

I found this to be an honest and detailed look into the mind and procedures of a trader. I know he pushes some of his other services, but you really don't feel that too much from the book, although his screening parameters might make you want to subscribe to the Oz Screener if you use Real Tick. He also mentions that the screening formulas are available in his earlier books, but for some legal reason he can't print them in this one (maybe some kind of agreement with Real Tick, since the other books are out of print). He goes into detail about his screens and why he uses them. You could probably figure out the formulas without too much effort just by understanding what he's screening for.

The other thing I really enjoyed about this book was its concise nature. Oz is an excellent author. There is no filler here. He writes simply and to the point. Unlike many other authors he seems to understand that clear communication and not showing off his IQ is the goal of writing a book. For those who have read a lot of trading books you know how rare that is. Oz is a relaxing read, not a tension-filled one.

I've read a lot of trading books, but along with Elder's books this is probably the only book I've read that by itself has enough to get you started on the right track in trading.

Book Description

The Moral Dimension of Marketing is a collection of essays that explores the tension between economics and ethics that all marketing executives face on a daily basis. The essays are all based on real-life situations that students and professionals alike will recognize, and they are grouped under familiar marketing headings: targeting, products, pricing, promotion and advertising, distribution, privacy, and inappropriate marketing. Each essay concludes with two or three questions that focus the reader's attention to the critical issues raised in that essay. The book is designed to be used in virtually any marketing course as a supplemental reading to stimulate thoughtful analysis of moral issues; it can also be used as a stand-alone text in a marketing ethics or a business ethics course. It should be provocative reading for marketing professionals as well.

A stimulus for the moral contemplation of Marketing Ethics.......2005-05-04

Kirk Davidson composed The Moral Dimension of Marketing: Essay on Business Ethics as a stimulus for readers to contemplate the moral dimensions of Marketing that affect many segments of society. The book provokes thought, but does not give direct solutions for how to handle the Marketing dilemmas. It is divided into seven sections pertaining to targeting, the four P's of Marketing, privacy, and inappropriate Marketing. Davidson addresses key issues facing Marketers in today's business environment, such as vulnerable target audiences, seller and buyer responsibilities, fair pricing, advertising deception, large versus small retailers, the scope of a customer's privacy, and ethical implications of unacceptable marketing. He explains that social issues in Marketing result from opposing ideas or actions about ethical behavior. Since buyers and sellers have contrary positions and interests, there is an element of tension in business transactions that brings about a need for ethical decisions. This tension not only affects the buyer and seller; it impacts society as a whole-including communities, government agencies, advocacy groups, media, suppliers, etc. When combined with an imbalance of power, this tension is even more problematic. Throughout this essay, I will provide an overview of the book's seven sections and conclude with a discussion of Marketing and Business Ethics, as described in the book, within the framework of the Technological Project.

Introduction
Marketers are often characterized as naturally competitive and aggressive so that they can outsell the competition and gain market share; therefore, less-than-attractive qualities sometimes emerge such as greed, selfishness, and unethical behavior. Despite this downfall, Marketers still serve an indispensable link between production and consumption, which drive the free market economy. Marketers can elect to treat customers with respect and develop long-term relationships or they can choose to deceive the customers and turn a quick profit.

Targeting
Davidson defines the vulnerable target audience as children, senior citizens, disabled individuals, minorities, and the less educated population. His core argument is that these vulnerable people are not on equal standing with the sellers; therefore, Marketers are faced with a situation where they have a significant advantage over the customer. Targeting a vulnerable market becomes an ethical issue for Marketers when products with some health or welfare risk, such as sugar coated cereal, cigarettes, or malt alcoholic beverages, are added into the mix. Whether the buyer's impediment is lack of knowledge, maturity, or poor judgment, Marketers must question the fairness of the relationship. The free market economy will often chastise the Marketers who chose an adversarial relationship with vulnerable target audiences because society does not tolerate exploitation.

Products
In terms of product liability, it is often debated who is responsible for the harm caused to consumers and society. Whether the distinction between right and wrong is determined by the legal system or public opinion, it is constantly changing and the blame is often shifted back forth between seller and buyer. Society ponders: Is the buyer using the product for its intended use? Could the seller have made the product safer? It may be in the best interest of the seller to make safety alterations, but the buyer must take some individual responsibility. Other ethical issue involving products are packaging, which can harm the environment, downsizing, which can deceive the buyer, and working conditions under which the products are made. In order to ameliorate these ethical concerns, both the seller and the buyer must exercise some sort of restraint and good judgment. Greater responsibility, on the part of the Marketers, for the interests of the buyers has the potential not only to prevent more government regulation, but also lead to greater long-term profits through a competitive advantage. Buyers are in a position where they can withhold purchasing power in order to influence the business patterns of the seller so that the seller is better aligned with the ethical beliefs of the buyers.

Pricing
What defines a fair price? The seller wants to get the most money it for the product, while the buyer wants to pay the least amount of money possible for the product. Both the seller and the buyer want to believe that they got a good deal based on the terms of the transaction. This is where the tension between the buyer and seller lies. Price gouging is clearly unfair, but the buyer does not always realize that the seller is charging an abnormally high price. The seller's satisfaction is based on profit, while the buyer's satisfaction is derived from an emotional or perception. One way to approach this issue is for the buyer to demand a more transparent transaction. Some examples of complicated transactions are the costs of credit cards, wireless telephone services, and health insurance. For there to be a fair price, both the buyer and the seller must clearly understand the product and the buying process. This transforms marketing from an adversarial relationship into a cooperative relationship. Both the buyer and the seller should benefit from a fair price-meaning the seller must give up the zero sum game strategy.

Promotion and Advertising
The purpose of advertising is to inform potential buyers about new product and services and where they can be purchased. The tug of war between the buyer and seller exists because the buyer wants the whole truth, while the seller wants to portray the product or service in the best light possible, which may entail brush over some of the truth or expanding boundaries. Marketers must decide how much information is necessary in the advertisements, how to present the product or service in an appropriate manner, and when puffery is taken too far. Factual representations might reveal some of the weaknesses about the product or services, but they will serve as a foundation for relationships built on trust and honesty. Over time, society changes what it classifies as offensive, however, campaigns involving sexual images, corrupt values, and/or cultural slurs have proven to be taboo in many situations. Providing false expectations and taking advantage of human weaknesses often brings about ethical concerns. There is a fine line between playful puffery and malicious deception that Marketers must draw and not cross.

Placement or Distribution
Unlike the other areas previously discussed, distribution is more likely to bring about conflicts between two or more businesses, not a buyer and seller. In some circumstances, the manufacturer favors the larger retailers over the smaller ones which brings into question whether the manufacturer is fairly distributing its products. When a dependency relationship exists, whether it is a retailer relying on only one manufacturer or a manufacturer distributing to only one retailer, there is further complications in the business relationship. Along with size comes power. Smaller retailers fear being put out of business by the larger retailers, such as Wal-Mart. Since the smaller retailers cannot compete on quantity and assortment, Marketers must stress personal service and specialty items. It is unethical and illegal for retailers to exhibit monopolistic power and eliminate the competition. Also, collusion between manufacturers and retailers to eliminate another manufacturer is of questionable ethical behavior. If Marketers practice restraint, then maybe this can prevent ineffective legislation from having to regulate the practices. Another area of business ethics regarding distribution is whether the retailer has an obligation to depressed areas, especially when the retailer sells food. Businesses that contribute to these problems or have the potential for solutions need to be involved in finding a solution.

Privacy
Sellers acquire information about buyers in order to develop personal relationships and serve the needs of the buyer more completely. Privacy problems arise when personal information is used to increase the profits of the sellers. For example, sellers can benefit financially by selling the lists of buyers and their information to phone and mail solicitors. Through the collection of information, retailers, such as Amazon.com, know exactly what and when the buyer made a purchase and the preferences of that buyer. Selling this information could complicate the relationship between the buyer and seller. In order to alleviate the concerns of buyers about sellers profiting from the sale of their information, the sellers could institute an opt-in clause that gives the buyers a chance to allow or deny the buyer from selling or using their personal information. Some buyers believe that giving their personal information to sellers has many more benefits, such as convenience, better service, and rewards, than drawbacks, such as identity theft. Life is a series of tradeoffs and it is up the buyer and seller to determine which tradeoffs are worth the consequences.

Inappropriate Marketing
Major segment of society perceive some of the practices in Marketing as offensive and unacceptable but not serious enough to classify as unethical. Inappropriate Marketing behavior creates tension between economics and respectability, social acceptance, and good taste. The Marketers attempt to draw potential buyers away from competitors and capture their attention thought creative advertisements, placements, and sponsorships. Joking about ethnic backgrounds, displaying sexual images, and/or demeaning a rival's product will draw attention to the product or service, but it is a very tricky tactic that can blow up in the Marketer's face. Even though Marketers are tempted by short-term gains, they must remain focused on the long-run. In order to avoid being thought of as inappropriate and offending potential buyers, Marketers must conform to what the majority of the population defines as acceptable.
Marketing and Business Ethics within the Framework of the

Technological Project
Marketing is a product of the free market economy that fits within the framework of the Technological Project, defined as the control of nature for human benefit. In order for a free market economy to function, it requires a limited government that provides the legal context for maintaining law and order and for enforcing contracts. Also, the limited government should not interfere with the competitive and innovative process of the market since it is subordinate to the requirements of commerce. In the same respect, Marketing should be loosely monitored by the government so that contracts are enforced, but the responsibility of practicing ethical business behavior falls on the members of society. The purpose of the government is to protect the rights of individuals who pursue their own individual interests; not to further a collective good, serve the bureaucracy, or favor particular faction. It is characterized by the rule of law as seen through a legal system that constrains government.
In order for the government to remain limited and not become either authoritarian-totalitarian or subject to mob-rule, it is necessary that the citizens of that government be special kinds of people: autonomous people, who rule themselves and impose order on their lives through self-discipline in order to achieve goals that they have set for themselves. Autonomous people are inner-directed and therefore capable of participating in the Technological Project in a creative and constructive way. As autonomous people, it is the responsibility of marketers to realize the implications of their actions and exercise restraint in matters that limit the freedom of other individuals. In fact, the ultimate purpose of the Technological Project is not to create wealth but to allow autonomous people to express their freedom. If Marketers attempt to deceive society or prey on vulnerable target markets, then they will be limiting their freedom and the freedom of those who are affected by their actions. Freedom and wealth are two major factors involved when Marketers are faced with conflicting decisions regarding ethics and economics. Wealth is a means to achievement and freedom, not an end in itself. Davidson contends that it is possible to reach sensible economic goals and at the same time honor ethical values. As a result, Marketers can achieve both profitability and fairness through ethical business practices. Since autonomous people ultimately want to be recognized for their autonomy, they seek to promote autonomy in others who will then understand and appreciate the self-discipline that this lifestyle requires. The ultimate self-interest of autonomous people is never in conflict with the ultimate self-interest of others. Such a mentality does not allow people to take advantage of disadvantaged individuals.

Conclusion
Business ethics is not a stand-alone field, rather it needs to be woven into every level of the business. In today's competitive society, Marketers are torn between the drive to increase profits, thereby pleasing shareholders, and the desire to act ethically, which satisfies buyers and other stakeholders. Marketers must practice restraint when tempted by short term gains and remain focused on long term profits that can result from ethical business behavior and ultimately further the Technological Project. A well thought-out cost-benefit analysis of financial and non-financial results with consideration for personal, external, and social forces will lead Marketers through an appropriate decision making process that influences their business behavior. It is not totally up to the seller to take full responsibility for every problem associated with a business transaction. Some of the responsibility needs to be taken on by the buyer. Marketers should not run campaigns that will intentionally hurt society, but the society needs to show some form of restraint and knowledge to make decisions on their own. Both the buyer and seller have ethical obligations.

From the supplier: A study by Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies predicts that the residential remodeling market of professional contractors and home improvement retailers will remain strong through the year 2010. Remodeling sales is expected to be fueled by increasing demand of do-it-yourselfers and the buy-it-yourself market. To take advantage of this growing market, professional contractors and home improvement retailers are advised to introduce marketing programs that are specifically targeted to this consumer type.

The sons thoughts.......2002-10-31

I read this book with intensity, and believe me I don't read very much. I never understood the complexity or the intensity of WWII until I read this book.
I am a navy sailor and I have spent most of my time not realizing what that ment. I read this book after 9/11 and it helped me understand the sevarity of war and how tragic it is.
And even though it might be thought that I have a biased opinion towards my father's book, this is one that you will not put down!

Outstanding.......2002-06-26

Some books of this type are tedious and rehash the same stories of an awful time in our recent history. I began this reading with reservations, but immediately found it not only an easy read but a page turner. Being written in the first person gives life and excitement to what could have been just another story. This book puts you there. You feel their anxiety. You experience their near hopelessness and rejoice in their triumph. This is a must read for anyone.

David Gilbert is a true hero!.......2002-04-04

David's story starts on the day the German army attacked Poland at the beginning of World War II. It chronicles one man's struggle to save his family from the Nazis and the heroic efforts he made to save hundreds of other people in the process. David never stopped believing in life and he never stopped believing in God. Through every twist and turn first, while hiding from the Nazis then in the Warsaw Ghetto and finally in Bergen Belsen his quick thinking kept his family safe.
