Negative Positive
Title: Where's the Beef?
Review: This book should be titled, " The Investor's Tax Primer: A Basic Reader." There are no fewer than 47 exhibits consisting of blank IRS forms occasionally referenced in the text. This reader was left with the impression that the author did not have much to say regarding a "trader's" perspective on taxation. The author did, however, add a liberal sprinkling of his political views and heavy endorsement of the tax planning profession. If you are new to finances or have never actually seen a tax form, then this book is for you. If you are an experienced trader with a basic knowledge of taxation, you will find a few useful tables and an interesting chapter or two. No one should expect tax advice specific to his or her own financial situation in a book of this nature. In sum, this book has a few useful tidbits, but is not accurately titled or described.
