Trader Vic on Commodities: What's Unknown, Misunderstood, and Too Good to Be True (Wiley Trading Book 300)

Trader Vic on Commodities advocates an approach which entails investing in both up-trends and down-trends in a variety of commodity, currency, and interest rate markets. It explains how these markets operate, removes mysteries and uncertainties involved, without taking giant leaps on capitalizing commodity market trends. It provides a great deal of historical research and demonstrates how his methodology allows investors to benefit from commodity trends with relatively low risk.

"The book is a treasure of statistical tables to show both the 'how to' and the validity of Sperandeo's trading strategies. Readers will still find him, as Barron's titled him years ago, Trader Vic: The Ultimate Wall Street Pro."

—Elizabeth B. Currier, President, The Committee for Monetary Research & Education


"Trader Vic on Commodities will surely become one of the must-read books for anyone interested in trading Commodities."

—Thomas Finley,  Managing Director, Global Markets & Investment Banking, Merrill Lynch


"Only the legendary Trader Vic Sperandeo could bring such clarity to what to most is a complex and indecipherable subject. This book is a splendid achievement from one of the investing world's true originals. The only thing I'd recommend more highly than the book is taking Vic's trading advice."

—Keith Styrcula, Structured Products Association, CEO, WealthNotes Capital Management
