Customer Reviews

Excellent topic coverage - one of a kind book

Written in clear, concise language and covers the topic well. I have bought several tech. analysis books and none others cover the topic as well or with such clear explanations. Recommended for the novice and non-tecky reader.

Finally, I understand!

This book really explained how technical indicators work. I have bought several books before this but didnt understand because the treatment was not practical. This book explains things clearly. How refreshing!

a word from the author

This book is not a highly "technical" treatment of the topic like so many investment books. It is aimed at the typical investor who wants to know what technical indicators are, how they work, and most of all, how they can help improve investment performance. Too many books are academic and impractical, and this book is designed to help you understand what works and, more to the point, what does not work. I have been writing professionally since 1978, and before that I was in the accounting business. I began writing books aimed to help average people master problems. My goal is to explain things honestly and thoroughly. In this book, I use a lot of examples, graphics, highlighted key points, and other tools to assist you. "Mastering Technical Analysis" is not like other books on the topic. I find that most investment books in general tend to be overly technical and do not provide easy to follow guidelines for making smart investment decisions. In addition, most books do not challenge some of the inane indicators popularly followed, like the typical market indicators (which provide you nothing of value in deciding what to do in your portfolio). Some insiders will not like this book because it does not go along with some market myths; but I think most investors will appreciate the information and point of view that the book provides.
