You must make a choice: Do you remain in the terminal, eating the stale vending-machine food of outmoded thinking?

Do you enjoy the in-flight snack of virtually unlimited information access, secure in the knowledge that when you encounter the inevitable turbulence of rapid market fluctuations, you are holding, in this book, the "automatic pilot" of expert advice and guidance?
