The Dean's Book Reviews: The Wallstrip Edge By Howard Lindzon
Its been often observed that anyone who invests in the stock market needs
to have a very strong sense of humor....indeed; no truer words were ever
spoken.
And the truth is, Howard Lindzon took that observation quite literally.
Indeed, Howards creation -- Wallstrip.com -- has become just that - a total
melding of humor and investing, or as the New York Times observed about
Wallstrip - Its Squawk Box meets Saturday Night Live. Wallstrip.com pulls
in between 5 and 7 million visitors a year, and the shows rabid following

includes stock market enthusiasts, venture capitalists, traders, and others
who tune in to hear, see, and talk about whats happening in the markets.
If you havent been to Wallstrip.com, well, youre in for a real treat. Lindzons
parodies are priceless. And in THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard captures
his most unusual (but very smart) approach to how he picks winners, and
you can too.
In THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard Lindzon shows readers how to profit
from his straightforward investment philosophy -- a unique trend watching
philosophy that makes Wallstrip.com such an amazing phenomenon,
including how to look at trends from a different perspective, knowing when
to buy a certain stock, how to hold it, and of course when to sell. Its all
done using the power of the Internet and your own instincts. Its a
surprisingly simple (and fun) strategy that works, and best of all, you dont
need to be a financial genius to make it work for you.
Personal Review: The Wallstrip (TM) Edge: Using Trends to
Make Money -- Find Them, Ride Them, and Get Off by Howard
Lindzon
"You need to start thinking that there are no boundaries to what can be
done by someone with an idea and a will to succeed- from any corner of
the earth." (page 185)
Howard Lindzon's premise for The Wallstrip Edge is very simple: You Can
Use Trends to Make Money. Throughout the book he explains an
investment strategy that he coined as `trend-following'. He proposes that
you can become a very successful investor if you maintain a strict focus on
3 things: (1) canceling out 100% of life's `noise' including TV, (2) constantly
seeking out opportunities while maintaining a `glass-as-half-full' mentality
and (3) following stocks that are trading at 52-week highs.
The book is entertaining, easy to read, and is packed with mainstream
references including Seinfeld in order to help every Average Joe reader
understand concepts in an easy-to-grasp manner. Howard Lindzon is a
very talented writer and uses the same writing style that's helped him
generate thousands of dedicated followers at his blog @
HowardLindzon.com.
He uses many of his own life experiences in The Wallstrip Edge in order to
teach the concept of trend-following and he's 100% transparent about his
past & present investments--both his home-runs and embarrassing flops
alike. Some of the book's best lessons come from Howard's failures as an
investor and his openness, honesty and ability to poke fun at himself kept
me very engaged as a reader.

The book covers a wide variety of topics but Howard always finds a way to
relate the content back to his central theme of trend-following. The last few
chapters of the book serve as Howard's "trends to watch" and his personal
insight into social networking trends have inspired me to act immediately.
Why? Because in his opinion social networking (Facebook, Twitter,
Youtube, etc.) is the faster-than-a-speeding-bullet train that's leaving the
station right as I type this book review.
The Wallstrip Edge is a book that every entrepreneur and investor must
own. It's a great tool that's given me both `real world' education and plenty
of inspiration to act. It would have been nice to read more of Howard's
thoughts regarding his exit strategy for Wallstrip the show... especially
since he emphasizes the importance of selling the trend. But considering
that's my only complaint after finishing the book I'm very pleased to have
invested my time in The Wallstrip Edge by Howard Lindzon.
Key Takeaways:
(1) Shut off your TV and all other "push" content and start focusing on
web-enabled content you can choose to "pull" in.
(2) Be sure to have an exit strategy in mind whenever you invest and
always remember the importance of selling.
(3) The world is always flushed with opportunities- whether it's a bull or
bear market.
(4) Right now the internet is the 500 lbs. guerilla in the room and there are
enormous profits waiting to be made.
(5) Anyone with an idea has the ability to change the world with the right
resources and work-ethic.
Sincerely,
Thomas McCarthy
