Single Stock Futures.......2003-07-18

Don't bother buying this book. It is so general and vague it's not worth the money. It rehashes tech analysis etc., that most would already know. It sheds no light into the world of SSF at all.

Helpful with trading........2003-01-16

Good introduction to trading with futures. I appreciated the trading indicators and methods shared by the author. Knowing what stock futures are and knowing how to actually trade them are two different things, and this book does a valuable service in sharing good trading strategies with us. Thank you!

complete intro.......2002-08-28

Good: Great introduction for a new trader trying to get up to speed with this investment. Author uses clear, basic approach to describing and teaching.

Bad: There could have been more information on how to spread trade with these investments. There's also a lot of basic techinical analysis overviewed (but I suppose this would be helpful to inexperienced tech traders.) And, the book is not real long and goes a little too quick.

Overall, I recommend the book

Good Teaching Tool.......2002-08-17

The book gave a solid, basic background and explaination about this investment. I like that it didn't try to be tricky or complicated. It just taught me what this thing was about,and then showed me how to go about trading in it. I like the part of the book about setting up for trading over the internet too, I thought it contained some nice insight.

Bottom line from me, a traditional stock investor, it was a clear and helpful education.

Not much content.......2002-08-15

I was interested in learning more about single stock futures for trading and hedging my portfolio, but found that this book did not have much content overall since it was published before the product began trading. There is a good review of basic futures trading but the info on single stock futures is limited and I am going to look to read more about the topic in other texts. This book offers mostly basic overview of the new product and not detail on how to use it to protect portfolios or apply to trading.

• The essential aspects of futures and stock trading that apply to SSFs

• Specific trading strategies, systems, and methods

• What works—and what doesn’t

• How to assess risks and rewards

Customer Reviews:

Comprehensive? Hardly..........2003-09-04

This book has been described as "A comprehensive introduction to trading single stock futures..." I have to disagree. The title implies that the book is a tutorial on how to trade. It would be better titled "An Overview of Basic Trading Concepts and an Introduction to the Concept of Single Stock Futures?"

I am new to trading and have been reading books for the past six months on the topic. While the author is a well-published industry expert who obviously knows his stuff, this book should have been a pamphlet. Of the 14 chapters 13 cover topics related to stock futures but not specifically about how to trade them. (technical analysis, charting, the importance of discipline, spreads, etc. are covered). If you've never read a book about trading you may get more out of it than I did. If on the other hand you are experienced I suggest you go to a bookstore and browse Chapter 14 to review three of the author's trading techniques.

For the newbie there are a few nuggets spread throughout the book but all in all I found the book lacking in any new substantive info, especially with regard to "how to trade" SSF's. Perhaps I am jaded a bit since I already understand general technical analysis and trading concepts. For what it's worth the book is a quick read. If you really want to learn about SSF's got to the CBOE web site or a site like Lind-Waldock to find out more.

Finally!.......2002-10-03

Finally a book with useful information on Single Stock Futures! Like many investors, I've been anxiously awaiting the release of the most anticipated futures contract since the e-mini. Unfortunately since this contract will likely change the entire investment arena, industry regulators have delayed it's introduction so apparently they can cross the t's and dot the i's. Fortunately however, this delay has allowed me to prepare myself to trade SSF"S, but until now I haven't had the means. Steven Greenberg may not be an award winning author, but as CEO of one of the largest futures firms, it's apparent that he knows this business inside out. As a seasoned trader of stocks and mutual funds but a novice on futures, I found this book's synopsis of futures especially helpful. Also, Greenberg did a tremendous amount of research (so I didn't have to) and seemed to provide only the information that was unique and most useful. Since this introduction to SSF (I believe it was the first) there have been a few others, but I don't believe them to be as concise or comprehensive. If you're considering Single Stock Futures as a possible investment, I highly recommend this book.

not a book but rather a collection of media release reports.......2002-05-15

Single stock futures are a very essential addition to the market.
they have been put on hold by legistrators. but now they are finnally here in the US market. as an experienced trader and investor I have been awaiting this addition for a while. I read all the reports on the internet and I eagerly baught the first book on this sunject- the one I am reviewing-. I think you will be be tter off reading internet reports and press releases because this is what the author did ...he gathered them then claimed that he wrote a book. for all of you real traders and investors out there ...this is a waste of money..offers tno trafing insights...it seems like a book wriitten by a historian rather than by a proffesional.

Everything you need to know about Single Stock Futures

"Single stock futures are an incredibly important new financial instrument for managing risk. Kennedy Mitchell provides an outstanding and easy-to-read explanation of these new products for either an expert futures user or for someone learning about futures markets for the first time."
-Peter Borish, Senior Managing Director, OneChicago

Although single stock futures may be a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, this instrument has been successfully traded for years in various overseas markets-leaving you, the individual and professional investor, to play catch-up.

Exactly what are single stock futures? They are futures contracts, within the futures universe, that have shares of listed public companies as their underlying asset.

In Single Stock Futures: An Investor's Guide, author Kennedy Mitchell introduces you to single stock futures, explains how they function, and demonstrates the various ways they can be traded. This comprehensive guide clearly illustrates how investors-both individual and professional-can utilize single stock futures independently or as an application to add new dimensions to an investment portfolio.

Single stock futures have the potential to improve the performance of professionals, novices, investors, and traders. Take this opportunity to find out how with Single Stock Futures: An Investor's Guide.

Customer Reviews:

Nice strategies.......2003-06-29

I liked the strategy section of this book talking about how to use the futures in practice not just about what they are. I have used the buy-write strategy that the author talks about and have done very well so far. I just wish these contracts were more popular so the liquidity would be better.

WAY 2 SIMPLE.......2003-02-04

I agreed with the guy who gave this book a star. When I saw the book, it looks good. But when I started to read it, I realized more than 50% of the book are definitions. It is way too simple.

Honestly, there aren't any good books on SSF.

good info.......2003-01-26

This book covers more advanced strategies that were interesting like pairs and buy-writes. Also good for learning about hedging large equity holdings in a single stock. I have read all the books available right now on the topic and this one had the most substance and information.

Basic. Rudimentary........2003-01-21

First of all, let me address the fact that every review prior to this one is a shill for either the author or the publisher.

Next, the book was far too simplistic and read more like a glossary of securities. Not too much valuable information here - better to just stick to something by John Murphy, as futures trading translates very well into SSF trading, aside from the tax handling.

If you're looking for a basic glossary, this may be for you, but it's advertised as a book with substance. It fails horribly, which is why I give it only one star.

nice guide.......2002-12-20

this guide was great in helping me understand single futures. I liked how they are explained in a manner of applying them to portfolios and not just technical details of the product.

On November 8, 2002, two new exchanges, OneChicago and NQLX, began trading single stock futures (SSFs). We study how these exchanges choose the listed products. The selection process is consistent with the objective of maximizing the market opening success. The estimated probability of listing is a good predictor of the single stock futures' post-listing success, as measured by their trading volume in the first year.

I realize this download is only [dollar amount], but I would recommend putting that money toward an actually book on the subject of Single Stock Futures. I bought this and learned essentially nothing. I also bought the actual futures book by Laffety and found it very good. So, I guess you get what you pay for with this stuff.
