Posted: 14 Apr 2025, 08:37
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Small Stock Trader" by Mika.]
While the author chose to refer to this book as a small book in the introduction, I will choose to refer to it as more than a small book because what makes a book is beyond the page count; it is the quality of information and knowledge that the reader can draw from the book and apply to their lives. This book matches up to these criteria, and I must commend the author for this insightful book. The Small Stock Trader by Mika is a book that explores everything any reader wishes to know about the stock market.
This book is divided into two sections. The first half discusses the stock market, including the traits of a small stock trader, risk management, knowledge of your competitors, fundamental analysis, short selling, flexibility, and more. The second part of this book discusses psychological topics that readers beyond the stock market can apply to their daily lives.
As a reader who has limited knowledge about the stock market, I found the traits of small stock traders inspiring and helpful. The author related his discussion to real-life scenarios that I could relate to. This made this book more engaging to readers and made the author's writing easier to comprehend. The second part of this book was very informative and had a blend of history, which I found very appealing. I love that this book was simple and written in a clear and concise manner.
The only thing I do not like about this book is that a newbie willing to explore the stock market will not easily flow with some of the topics contained in this book. I would also have loved illustrative pictures or diagrams related to the stock market added to this book. However, these had no impact on the fun I had reading this book. The editing of this book was excellent, and I could not find any errors in it.
Therefore, I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars due to the positive reasons listed above. I recommend this book to those looking forward to exploring the stock market.
