Format:Spiral-bound
The average investor probably believes that stock prices are a "random walk" and that no one can benefit from analyzing stock market price history. These investors would be "wrong" as is the case with most of the conventional wisdom on Wall Street. The stock market exhibits many recurrent calendar-based patterns that intelligent investors can use to enhance their personal investment results while decreasing risk.

This calendar/organizer/planner is in its 40th edition and the authors have done a masterful job of presenting the information in a useful and easy-to-understand manner. They've provided investors with a complete historical perspective on daily, weekly, monthly, and annual stock market patterns and strategies.

There is particularly useful data on how to take advantage of the presidential four-year cycles, the best six months strategy for the DJIA and S&P500, the best eight-month strategy for the NASDAQ Composite, and the strongest and weakest months of the year.

Traders, as well as short-term and long-term investors will all benefit from the insights provided in this "gem" of an investment almanac. Traders, in particular, can benefit from the many daily and holiday, and seasonal market patterns occur with a high frequency. Every person who invests in the stock market, without taking into account the vital information in this almanac, should not complain about his or her poor performance.

Also included in this almanac are extensive statistics (point moves and percentage moves) on the DJIA by year and month going back at least 50 years. In addition there is information on the 10 best and worst days by percent and points for the DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 1000 and 2000. Moreover, this data is then replicated for the 10 best and worst weeks, months and years for these same indexes going back to their inception.

In summary, the Stock Trader's Almanac is a masterpiece of stock market history that keeps getting better every year. It is an indispensable guide to successful investing. I highly recommend it to all investors and traders.

This book is set up like a journal for taking notes through out the year. It is a quick read if you go straight through. It is meant to be read through out the year giving you an over view of how each month has done in the stock market over the years. It has great inserts of information after each month that explains past patterns like the pre-election years and how they out perform other years (The stock market has been up 68 years straight in a presendential pre-election years 2003,1999,1995,1991 etc.). The best 6 months strategy shows how investing from November 1st-April 30th out performs May 1st-October 31st over the last 55 years. If you invested $10,000 in only Nov-April in this time period you would have had an average return of 7.9% and $544,323, with May-Oct you would have had .3% and only $9,728. It has a great section about seasonal trading which explains what sectors go up and down traditional each year based on their business cycles. Buy this journal and use it if you are a serious trader of stocks. It will make you a lot of money.

Data galore, Fine ideas December 29, 2006
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
In its traditional and well-known format, the Almanac provides its readers a "heads-up" on potential trends that can be seen on any particular trading day or month. Of course, people believing in such patterns will absolutely love this book, while those sceptical of pattern-based stock trading can use this book as the poster-child for deriding the strategy. Either case, the book has tons of data. Each day, in calendar format, has a witty (more often than not) quote or saying. The seasonality of specific sectors is perhaps the best portion of the book. The book could have used some more rigorous editing, though - there are tons of typos in the reviewed edition. Overall, a good addition to one's information sources, especially for its price.

Driving and looking in the rear-view mirror, what will that get you?
First, if you buy the hard cover from Amazon do not be surprised if they send you a spiral bound poorly bound book. I sent it back.
