Review
“Will likely be doing the rounds on commuter trains and among the City’s grad scheme applicants.” -CityAM
“Like The Naked Trader the writing style is light, humorous and entertaining, but the subject matter is important and serious ... It's the sort of book which I will keep on the bookshelf and enjoy dipping into on a regular basis over the next few years.” -Blissgull, Stockopedia
“[A] very good guide to trading psychology and could be applied to all forms of investing, not just share trading.” -Honest Betting Reviews
“Robbie Burns has done it again with Trade Like a Shark. Like all his other books it is written in the same unmistakable humorous and entertaining style.

Overall, a fin-tastic and jaw-some read!” -Richard Gill, CFA, Master Investor
