Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 8511
A Classic work on Technical Analysis (Baldwinsville, NY United States) June 12, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars
I read Edwards and McGee, Technical Analysis of Stock Market Trends with
great enthusiasm. Here was a book that was originally written in the
1940's that is equally valid to anyone trying to play the stock market in
the Twenty First Century.
It also gave me insights into the wild times on
Wall Street in the Roaring 20's, and taught me how the pros did stock
manipulation and organized "bear traps." Understanding Wall
Street irrational exuberance in 1928 helps a smart investor understand the
irrational exuberance in 1999.
I started reading and then using
Technical Analysis because I found I couldn't make money on the market
just using the fundamental analysis that my accounting professors taught
me in business school.
I bought stocks based on detailed analysis of the
firm's fundamentals and then could not understand why the prices of my
"smart" investments immediately dropped like a rock.
Technical
analysis provides an investor with insights into the market forces (supply
and demand) that affect the rise and fall of stock prices and give a
rational investor understanding of the psychology of the herd of
investors.Modern web technology available from Clearstation and
E-trade take the drudgery out of the technical charting, and make it easy
for an amateur investor to become an experienced technical chart reader.
Edwards and McGee was the book that helped me develop this skill. I can
not praise the authors of this book enough.
