Review: Very poorly designed - Useless product Review: A Learner's Guide to Applying Financial Astrology - I am a retired teacher, and a friend recommended "A Trader's Guide to Financial Astrology" to me as he uses astrology along with other methods to determine his investment choices. Thirty-five years of classroom teaching has left me with a pension, Social Security, and a next egg that must be actively and wisely invested as I realize that my egg's risk of cracking is greater than ever given today's volatile economic conditions. I'm continuously exploring diverse sources of information and methods of investing. The book defines financial astrology, how it has and can significantly assist in analyzing successful market forecasting. After reading the book, I now have a foundational understanding of how astrology can be one more analytical device, a sort of universal ratchet in my investment toolbox that I can add to my financial planning strategies. "A Trader's Guide to Financial Astrology" reads like a well designed text book. It's streamlined for learning about astrology and its application to financial planning. The format of the book contains chapters with sections that are organized for optimum comprehension that include: An Introduction; Key Concept Questions; Summary; and Key Concept Review. I can now see how astrology could help define and forecast market movement and outcomes. The book uses objective research, scientific, method, and statistical analysis to support its process. The empirical evidence was impressive. Efficiency testing showed a strong correlation to astrological comparisons and market trends and events that took place between 1895 and 2013. The book emphasized that human behavior is the driving force behind the markets, and that astrology is one method of understanding how outside forces influence human behavior and ultimately market movement. The Appendix sections contain information I can apply immediately to my personal financial investment choices. I have trusted and used Wiley publications throughout my teaching career, and this book lives up to the excellent reputation the company has for its learning materials. R.M. White
