My goal is to become a long-term investor, not a short-term trader, but I still think it's best to understand both sides of the market. This is a good resource for learning about some of the most common stock chart patterns, but it doesn't go much deeper than that. It's a useful little guide, but a starter resource at best. If I could give it three and a half stars, I would, but four stars would be a bit generous.
Organized presentation of basic concepts
I would five a "5" if this book would have more details on more advanced subjects. But in general, a good book for most people to start with. Some reviews give this book a "1" or "2", I would say those people bought the wrong book in the first place, not the book itself.
Just like everything else, you can't emphasize enough about the understanding of basic fundamental concept. You don't need to read too many books, read this book, digest the ideas, and apply what you learn. You won't regret.
I found this book to be a good, down to earth, book for all of us that are not math guru's and just want to learn basic chart reading and the cycles that go along with the various patterns in charts. I wish I had of read this book before
I lost five hundred dollars in the stock market last quarter.
