Mike S. Shapiro Releases Read the Tape with Forbes Books

Read the Tape is a powerful, novelized approach to understanding one's business and personal life. Shapiro's book follows its main character, Bennett, on his journey of personal and professional growth. With the help of Shapiro's risk-inclined, results-oriented methods, readers grow with Bennett as he reaches his greatest potential.

Functioning as a practical toolkit, Read the Tape is packed with "Mikeisms" that shed light on the difficulties people inevitably encounter on their path to success and the ways to effectively overcome them.

Taken together, Shapiro's narrative and the resulting insights bring his unique methodology into focus. It's a system based on skills he developed as a market maker and trader with the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. It was there he learned the value of "reading the tape," cultivating situational awareness to predict behaviors, leverage opportunities, and achieve game-changing results.

"To 'read the tape' refers to the old practice of using a telegraph to transmit stock price updates. But when I say 'read the tape,' I'm talking about something much bigger," Shapiro said. "It's about reading the room, reading the environment, and reading the momentum of what's going on around you. Reading the tape is really about situational awareness. Reading the tape will help you accurately assess people, situations, trends—and then use that information to do the right things at the right times in order to move forward."
