Must like the cliche, writing a book is a labor of love. Tradestream took me about a year from start to finish.
And it’s true: Very few people make real money penning their investment ideas. But that doesn’t mean writing an investment book is a losing endeavor.
Here’s 10 reasons why you should write a book:

Probable Outcomes — Ed Easterling
As One: Individual Action Collective Power — Mehrdad and Quigley
Just finished two books on a recent trip to the UK. I read Crucial Conversations and Saltwater Buddha. Obviously two very different books but both really worth a read. Excellently written and happy I spent the time.
These above links are affiliate links –Amazon would theoretically pay me some lunch money if you purchase the books after clicking on these links.Thanks to Brenda Jubin PhD on a very flattering review for Tradestreaming.
Miller’s book is something of a travel guide for the investor. It’s written exceedingly well, as one expects of a travel guide. It explains an investor’s options: he can go on a guided tour, join a self-directed group, or strike out on his own. And it provides resources that the investor can tap into depending on which option he chooses.
Jubin does a good job reviewing a prolific number of books with insight and depth of an actual investor/trader. Check out her blog, Reading the Markets.
I’m proud to announce the official sales launch of my book, Tradestream your Way to Profits: How to Build a Killer Portfolio in the Age of Social Media.
It’s been a *long haul* and I received a lot of great 
help/support from many of the investment industry’s top thinkers. Thanks to everyone who’s listened to my ideas, helped me vet them, contributed their own perspectives and helped propel this work forward (you know who you are :-))
I think this is just the beginning of an exploration of the new modes of investment research empowered by the Internet in general and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in particular. There is a ton of great stuff going on at startups in Silicon Valley, New York, Europe and Israel.
I plan to continue to analyze tradestreaming strategies and the new technology platforms enabling this all to happen.
To accompany the launch of the book, I’ve compiled an ebook entitled 
“Tradestreaming and the Future of Investing”. It’s a compendium of opinions from many of the online investing industry’s thought leaders from a variety of different disciplines. It’s a really interesting view about where we are and where we’re headed in financial communications, research, and investing.
Hedge fund analysts, financial advisors and brokers, investment advisors, investment relations professionals, Internet entrepreneurs, and all investors will find something useful and thought-provoking.
