  Hi Steve --

  I have read it.  There is some overlap between the content of this book and 
Tharp's earlier book, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom.  And a lot of the 
material in Definitive Guide can be found in Ralph Vince's four books, as well 
as other books on trading, position sizing, and risk.  But there is some new 
material, and some thought-provoking comments about risk and position sizing.  

  You can read the entire Table of Contents and Preface here:
  http://www.iitm.com/Table-of-Contents-Definitive-Guide.pdf

  I get most of the trading books that are published.  I keep some and return 
or sell some.  I paid retail price for my copy, and I'll keep this one.  The 
biggest drawback is the high price (about $145).  And shipping is apparently 
handled by a contract agent who charges way too much (about $15) for service 
that is not very fast.

  Thanks,
  Howard

    Hi - I was just wondering if anyone has read Van Tharp's new book
    "Definitive Guide to Position Sizing"
    and if you think there is enough new material there to justify buying it?

    Thank you for any opinions.
    Steve
