Format: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.

too simple October 7, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
it covers most of the basic basics of market timing. i feel it has too little emphasis on market psychology, and does not really reveal any striking insights or cool practical examples. a lot of the book is just about generalities.
