This review is from: Finding Winners Among Depressed And Low-Priced Stocks (Paperback)

This is a very informative book. Evans' thesis is that low-priced and depressed stocks account for the major stock gains. In the first chapter he outlines the risks in buying these stocks and some precautions to take. The second chapter covers technical analysis, and the third chapter covers using the technicals to evaluate the charts of companies that have gone through major pullbacks, built bases, and seem ready to go up again. Chapters two and three are excellent, and really seem to be the book's center of gravity. However, later chapters go into numerous case studies which are very good teaching stories. The writing is accessible and clear, and should appeal to beginners as well as more advanced investors and traders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant book, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Finding Winners Among Depressed And Low-Priced Stocks (Paperback)

If you are interested in buying stocks in the low price range, $20 all the way down to penny stock range, this is the book for you. Evan's methods add a bit safety to this volatile price range by sticking with larger companies or depressed and distressed blue chips.

You will appreciate all his research, some from noted financial journals, as well as his numerous charts and examples. The first chapter goes through his rational and many studies on why low price stocks outperform. Chapter 1 alone is well worth the price of this book. Very well written, a definite classic.

I was not sure what to expect when I picked up the book, but for [the price] why not check it out. It was much better than anything I expected or have read in similar titles. The author gives the reader a solid foundation for entering and exiting low priced stocks. The book is filled with lots of good examples of the right time to buy beaten up stocks. The primary focus of his selection technique is technical analysis, although there is a fundamental bent thrown in. If you are thinking that there are bargins to be had after the past 2 years in the market, this is a title well worth checking out.
