In easily understood language, this book shows you how to use technical analysis to decide when to buy and sell stocks, evaluate a stock's performance, and forecast probable long-term trends in the stock market. Written for the average investor, the book provides guidelines on how to apply the same tools of technical analysis that the experts use to interpret what's happening on Wall Street. It explains exactly how to combine fundamentals and technical analysis in stock market trading in order to boost total annual return on your portfolio. It will prove especially valuable to everyone responsible for personal retirement plans, family resources, and children's inheritances-and it will also help registered representatives who want to use technical analysis to improve their timing when they buy and sell.

In these pages, you'll learn exactly how to use charts and other technical indicators to...

Pick potential winners through the trends of individual stocks, industry groups, and the overall market

Buy wisely - and at the right time - to gain the biggest profits because there's increased activity by institutional investors

Sell short in a bear market for a profit

Deal in options for maximum rewards-and with minimum risks

This practical, down-to-earth book uses case histories to illustrate its points, establishing the specific rules and firm discipline that are essential to stock market success. The glossary gives you the most complete, up-to-date explanations of terms now used in technical analysis - the only such glossary on the subject. The bibliography is equally current, citing just those books that are readily available, easily understandable, and worthwhile.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better books available, March 27, 2000
By A Customer
The world of trading, and technical analysis in particular, has advanced significantly since this book was written. Newer, more polished books are now available (e.g. Constance Brown's Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional). The book's illustrations and content are mediocre. After reading a little bit of technical analysis, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you have found the 'Holy Grail', but active traders know that chart patterns can, and do, fail and besides, it sometimes takes days-to-weeks for a complete pattern to evolve - well beyond the time horizon of most short-term traders. My advice for the beginner would be to focus on the newer books (besides Brown, you may start with Jack Schwager's and John Murphy's books), read a lot, keep your mind open, and be aware of the technical pattern over multiple time-frames (daily, weekly, monthly).

This review is from: Trader's Guide to Technical Analysis (Paperback)
This book was just as expected. It is a good read for the intermediate to advanced trader.

The shipping went smoothly and it arrived on time.
