5.0 out of 5 stars Duarte nails it in this very useful and easy to read book on market timing., June 19, 2009

By	John Duke (Mesquite TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Market Timing For Dummies (Paperback)

Market timing eluded me for years, then the principles and strategies laid out in this book have made timing a useful tool for me.

I found the section on methods and strategies especially enlightening and this may well have been the missing piece in my own education. The application section is a definite help in understanding timing.

The section on sectors has really made me money over the last year in the area of financial services and even more so in energy. I doubt that my trades would have been nearly as productive without this information.

Finally, the Ten Game Saves is a top ten list that every investor should memorize and use whenever trading.

All in all, I would give this a five star rating based on clarity of the concepts, usefulness of the information and the helpful illustration of the techniques and strategic approach.
