"This book provides an important understanding of how the crowd operates in the markets. Steve Briese has given us a complete explanation of the metrics that are required to actually use contrary opinion methods."
-Woody Dorsey, President, Market Semiotics, and author of Behavioral Trading
"Steve Briese is the master of the COT and here gives us the benefit of many years of experience in using the Commitments of Traders reports in his trading. Steve guides us, with wit and humor, through how the COT is calculated, why it is valuable, and, more importantly-how to use it to uncover an edge in your trading and investing. You will profit from this book."
-Charlie Wright, Chairman, Fall River Capital, LLC
"I have followed Steve Briese's analysis for two decades in trading the commodities markets. His methods and conclusions from COT data are fact based and often properly contrarian. In today's world, where commodity hedge funds have become even larger players, Steve Briese's work assumes an even higher importance level for commodity market participants, individual and professional alike."
-Brent R. Harris, Head of PIMCO Real Return and Commodities Desk; Chairman, PIMCO Funds
