Recommended,
I’m professionally obligated to read a lot of books on finance, and it’s rare that one comes along that’s both enjoyable to read and teaches me something I didn’t know. Bernstein’s “Sector Trading” manages to do both. The structure of the book is a week-by-week review of the financial and emotional ups and downs of a year in ETF (Exchange Trade Funds) trading. Studying this, you learn lessons about the kinds of decisions an ETF or index trader must make if he wants to succeed, but you also get a sense of the psychology, both individual and market, that accompanies this kind of trading. Most books on trading that I’ve read either serve up a dry, indigestible mound of statistics and numbers, or decend into raw psychologizing. Bernstein eschews these typical strategies, and instead grapples with the nuances of particular circumstances in a way that’s neither dull nor trite. On the negative side, the index really isn’t very helpful, and a book arranged this way could use a decent index. Also I would like to have seen more time could be spent on counter-trend trading strategies. Still, overall, a good and helpful book for learning the mechanics and psychology of sector trading.

Interesting. I heard Bernstein talk at nyc ETF evolution 2007 on International Exposure and emerging markets and bought this book. Mostly a collection of what moved ETFs on a weekly basis in a particularly volatile year. Carbon based economy, geo-political, biotech, those kind of macro analytics. Only a small nod to quants. But with the world outlook as it is, it seems these kinds of issues may be driving things for awhile. I would have liked a lot more focus on the macro analysis than he fit in here, but then it would be an expensive textbook. The breakdown into macro-indicators by week is unique and could be a worthy tool if developed more.

|A year of ETF trading,
I was disapointed with the book. I was hoping for a varifiable process that I could follow and test. Instead I got guesses as to what happened to a market on each specific day. The usual kind of media invented stuff that you get when the pros can’t figure out what really happened with the market. I got through about thirty days of the year and gave up[
