About the Author

Humphrey Neill, the celebrated sage of Saxtons River, Vermont, has inspired generations of contrarians. His advice to investors: Beware of the crowd, don't be swept up by euphoria or down by despair. When everyone thinks alike, watch out. They're probably wrong. Neill's sharp thinking and homespun aphorisms are no less appropriate today than when he began to formulate the theory of contrary opinion three quarters of a century ago. In fact, Neill's ideas formed the basis for the Contra Fund that Fidelity Management established in 1967 and still manages today.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ, MUST FOR ALL INVESTORS, October 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tape Reading and Market Tactics (Paperback)
The book has given a real inside of market psychology, tradingtechniques.Written in a very easy,and digestible manner. Author's sharp observation , and the charting techiques is worth learning for all the investors.

I bought this book as was recommendated by Investor's Buisness Daily. There are few other books listed which I have bought.Not all the books are avilable but most are. This is one of the best books I have read.

This book is worth reading, learning, and definately pays the price you paid for the book.

I would recommend 1. How to make money in stocks - william o'neil 2. Battle of investment survival. 3 Remminsence of the stock operator. 4 Technical analysis of the finicial market- John Murphy. 5 Trading for Living -Elder,

I believe this book should be in the your personal library if you are an investor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Traders, June 24, 2003
By 
"edwoo88" (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tape Reading and Market Tactics (Paperback)
IMHO, one of the two best traders books ever written, alongside Reminiscenes of A Stock Operator. As opposed to most traders' books that are very much focused on price-centric indicators and pays lesser attention to volume, tape-reading is truly a gem that observes the important co-relation between price and volume, the latter being the fuel of every play.

Tape-reading doesnt predicts target prices of a stock play as opposed to most methods (eg elliot wave) but lets volume (or lack thereof) be the ultimate determinant of a continuation of a move or otherwise. Since I have never been a technical indicators' fan, I now trade solely on tape-reading principles with simple charting techniques using candlesticks (paying due attention to volume on formation of important patterns) and doing very decently ever since.

Great stuff !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wanna make money? read this book!, September 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Tape Reading and Market Tactics (Paperback)
As an active and profitable day trader (who makes a living trading) , I've read almost all the classics, in my opinion better than any book i've read! Definetly as good as "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator".

Wish all books were so succinct, i would've finished college in 1 year.

If you want to make money, read it!
