This book was easy to read and it really flowed well. This book changed my investing approach forever because it has me better prepared before I enter a trade. I can anticipate what a stock is going to do before it does it. I hope Mr. Hooper writes another book on trading in the stock market. I have read this book two times already.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that is trading stocks or considering trading stocks.
This book describes a whole new way to trade stocks. It shows you how and when to buy, hold, and sell stocks buy letting the stock its self tell you what to do.

I really like the concept of using events that are in each stock and the market as your guide. I found the event concept so easy I don't know why I did not think of it my self. I also found the chapter on market psychology very interesting.

This review is from: Stock Market Trading: The Event Driven Method (Paperback)

First, the name of the book is misleading. Event driven trading is about selecting stocks that will or have experienced an 'event' that drives the stock higher or lower. The entirety of this book is just a summary/rehash of several other stock picking books based on technical factors and analysis.

That said, the only reason I would recommend this book is for someone who has had no previous exposure to the markets.

Good thing I only borrowed this book from the library!
