My Biography

For the last ten years, I wrote nonfiction books about investing and trading in the stock market. I've also written hundreds of columns and magazine articles on investing and trading. In addition, I’m a featured financial columnist for Marketwatch.com, writing articles specifically for the rookie trader.

I've been interviewed on dozens of national radio programs and have appeared on several financial news programs such as CNBC and ABC's World News Now to talk about my books.

My most popular include Understanding Stocks (McGraw-Hill), the best-selling Understanding Options (McGraw-Hill), All About Market Indicators (McGraw-Hill), and my most recent, Start Day Trading Now (Adams Media).

Novels

My first official novel is The Last Au Pair, a story about the adventures of three au pairs who live in South Florida.
