Valuable addition to stock market traders' libraryDecember 26, 2008 Mr. A. Davidson(London, UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A book focused on market timing rather than individual stock picking. The author, drawing on research from Investors Chronicle, where he is companies editor, dissects historical, technical and economic data to find lessons for future investing. The book gives valuable insight into how the stock market works, its seasonal impact, when bull and bear markets are likely to start and end, and the times of the year when it is best to buy or sell, including in specific sectors. There is a lot of focus on technical indicators. I welcome this book not because it contains the wholly grail for stock market traders (no book does) but because it provides usable trading ideas and, more importantly, a comprehensive analysis of how the stock market has reacted to events, seasonal pressures and trends, and the historical odds that they will continue to do so.
