Anton Passauer is a German exile living in Paris during the early eighteenth century. One evening in a tavern on the city's Left Bank, he meets a young French playwright, poet, and philosophe named Voltaire. Reluctantly Passauer reveals that he is a survivor of the Bavarian massacre at Munich in 1705. Voltaire convinces him to break his thirteen years of silence and tell his story. It begins in 1705 during the early days of the people's rebellion against the Holy Roman Empire's brutal occupation of Bavaria, where quick rebel victories at Braunau and Burghausen forces the occupation army to retaliate and stop the growing resistance at any cost. The Bavarian rebellion's attempt to take back their country comes to a head in a bloody skirmish outside the walls of snow-covered Munich on Christmas Day. Author Steve Burns infuses this historically accurate yet fictionalized tale with his fifteen years of experience living in Bavaria, Germany, and a passion for history and philosophy. The characters Passauer and Voltaire trade stories, ideas, and commentary that together create a compelling, thought-provoking, and emotional narrative. Through these pages, readers can join the band of Bavarian farmers and shopkeepers in their little-known fight against the Holy Roman Empire's occupation in eighteenth-century Germany.

Murder and betrayal in ancient China. On his return to his home city of Qufu in the province of Lu during the Zhou dynasty, Yuen Meng Ji is delighted to be reunited with Master Confucius, his old friend and mentor after a five-year absence. But his delight at being home is short-lived as he is given the task of investigating the brutal murder of Shi, a complex former travelling companion and minor dignitary from the neighboring province of Qi. Set in the year 518BC, The Way of the Master is not only an account of violent murder and betrayal, but also a detailed insight into ancient China - its customs, political intrigues and philosophies. For decades the Zhou dynasty had been in a steady decline and had already disintegrated into semi-independent feudal provinces where the ruling Dukes were prepared to use treachery, conspiracy and assassination to further their own political ambitions and territorial expansion. Within this environment of political turmoil the Hundred Schools of Thought emerged, each school competing to promote their own philosophy to guide the ruling Dukes to a more stable and harmonious political situation. As a senior minister in the Lu government, Confucius is forced to try and defend his own values against other conflicting philosophies as well as trying to compete with reality where virtue and harmony have no place in a world of political ambition and territorial expansion. This account breathes life into the daily life of the citizens of Qufu, from how they acted and spoke to who they looked up to and why. Master Confucius is an enigmatic, wise teacher who guides by example, teaching his follower how to unravel the riddles he finds himself ensnared in. Only in asking the right questions, will Yuen Meng Ji ever gain the answers he so desperately needs.

Marketing has lost its way. It has become buried under layers of processes, checklists and analysis. There is no room left for creativity, intuition or original ideas. Marketing strategies are defined by SWOT charts, demographics and hundreds of pages of market studies. Decisions are made by spreadsheets and checklists. Creative marketing is dead. But there is still hope. In this book there are no boring processes to follow or checklists to memorize. There are no confusing charts to study or statistics to interpret. Instead we travel back in time to 500BC in ancient China where Lao Tzu (Taoism) and Sun Tzu (The Art of War) use their wisdom to teach us how we can manage the chaos of the market, identify real customers and use the competition to build a strong market position. They show how real products are more than just a list of features and how a customer can be more than just someone who buys the product. They also don't see the competition as an enemy. Instead they see it as a tool to help build a stronger market. Using their ancient wisdom they show us that there is still a place for originality, creativity and intuition in a successful marketing plan.

"Trading is not the path to free money; profits must be earned through homework, discipline, courage, patience, and perseverance in the markets." - Rich Trader In contrast to its precursor, "New Trader, Rich Trader", where New Trader struggled with basic issues such as development of a positive expectancy method, position sizing as well as determining which assets to trade; in this manuscript all those issues have been resolved and so at the book's inception one might imagine New Trader would simply be relating his successes to Rich Trader.As anyone who has successfully transitioned from "New Trader" to "Rich Trader" can attest, this is not the case and our authors brilliantly navigate New Trader's journey from knowing how to trade "in theory" towards flawless implementation of his positive expectancy model despite draw downs, missed opportunities, price shock events, and so on. As in all of Steve's books, I am consistently amazed at how despite his obvious mastery of our business he can recall with intimate detail what it was like to make the full gamut of "New Trader" mistakes. "New Trader, Rich Trader 2" will have New Traders reaching for their highlighters while Rich Traders smile knowingly at distance memories of painful missteps. Wherever you are in the journey from New to Rich Trader, this book is an indispensable tool filled with lots of "Aha" moments. To Steve and Janna, congratulations on a job well done, to all the New Traders reading this, pat yourself on the back for having found an indispensable aid in your journey from novice to pro.Richard L. Weissman, Professional Trader and Author, Trade Like a Casino

I love the structure of this book: Steve Burns points out huge differences between winners and losers in every area of the market. Each chapter takes up a pair of opposites, such as "New Traders try to prove they are right; Rich traders admit when they are wrong." Dozens of such pairs offer a psychological mirror to serious readers.-Alexander Elderwww.elder.comHere is a work that puts the reader in the mind of a fledging trader who makes all the mistakes then learns from them. Told in an instructive and entertaining narrative, the author takes the reader through the trading concepts with a clarity and ease of understanding. A must read for beginning and intermediate level traders.-Dr. Chris Kacher, co-founder of www.SelfishInvesting.com and co-author of "How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market"You have done a truly tremendous job with this book!  A breezy read with essential trading advice.  I think this book could become a trading classic! So many great rules are offered in this book, but I think my favorite might be Chapter 8's.  It is SO true!  Just printing out the title of each chapter and putting it on your desk would greatly benefit every trader I know.   Steve, you've done a great job! -"Darrin Donnelly, DarvasTrader.com".Steve Burns has done a superb job with his new book "New Trader, Rich Trader"! This is a must read for all levels of traders. Golden nuggets include important concepts like "I always put capital preservation before capital appreciation." Steve tackles psychology, risk control, and what it takes to succeed in this business where so many fail. As Steve says "most new traders learn the hard way by losing money...", don't be one of them, do yourself a favor and buy this book, because not only is it a great investment, but the concepts in this book will save you plenty!-Bennett McDowell, Founder, TradersCoach.com®Author: "A Trader's Money Management System: How to Ensure Profit and Avoid the Risk of Ruin" Steve Burns describes three of the most critical aspects of trading with a "dialogue-style' book between a novice trader and an experienced successful trader. Psychology - making sure your mindset is correct and in the game with a solid, realistic, and objective plan. Risk Management - the key to it all and ones ability to understand and manage all aspects of risk control. Methodology - making sure you fit a trading plan to your own unique style while understanding what prior successful traders did as well. The teacher/student lessons discussed should be of value to all traders. -John Boik, author of "How Legendary Traders Made Millions" and "Monster Stocks"Steve has crafted an easy-to-read tutorial on avoiding the most common mistakes made by new traders. Save yourself years of heartache and buy this book and do your homework. New Trader, Rich Trader should be mandatory reading for the novice investor. -Kenneth Lee, author of "Trouncing the Dow"
