did you read it? what did you think? and do you intend to apply any of the ideas in practice?

i have read up to pge 64 and i enjoy it but i wish i had a hard copy of it. i wanted to read this book because i am going to start investing on my own and heard that this book had good strategies.

i liked it, but depending on what exchange you intend to invest on, some of the strategies may be hard to implement (specifically, a lot of the short selling, and purchases of more exotic convertible instruments).
good luck.
