Talkin' Big

I just finished Tom Dittmer's bio, "Talkin' Big". I highly recommend this read.

He may have been the last of the "pedal to the metal" commodity speculators. Lots of stories including how he started REFCO, then lost it and $120 million. Lots to learn about style and speculating.

Chapter 64 details the fundamental shift in futures markets; that part alone is a must reading and sure gives some good trade ideas.

Tom writes well but swears a blue streak whenever he writes. So if foul language is an issue, you will end up putting it down way before you get to chapter 64.

Speaking of blue…he quotes Teddy Blue…shocked me to see Teddy quoted. My great grandfather made Teddy's saddle.

Amazon has the best price. Buy it now, or put it at the top of your Christmas list to give or get.

Good Luck and Good Trading,
Larry Williams
