Review title: Cheesy log rolling not worthy of Amberger
Product review: C'mon, Chris, quoting Karim Rahemtulla as an "independent" reviewer is misleading and sleazy - Karim operates an option trading service (specializing in covered calls, iirc) that's part of the same Agora "empire" as the Taipan Group - why don't you get "independent" reviews from Porter, or Steve Sjuggerud, or Chris Mayer or Dan Denning (maybe he's the Dan who reviewed the book, or was it Dan Ferris..)? It's a touch suspicious as well that two of the four positive reviews come from Baltomore or the Maryland suburbs, Agora's and Taipan's home base - ask for some favors down at the Yacht Club, did we?I've been a happy subscriber to Taipan for years, and I've always liked Amberger's work. Four stars for a good book, demeaned by Chris's response in this list of reviews.
