Timeless classic
(Jersey City, NJ, United States) August 2, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars

A lot of timeless insight and wisdom. If you are only looking for the latest and hottest indicator, this book is not for you. It does have a small chapter with definitions of some recent (i.e. less than 30 years old) oscillators, but it mostly discusses area patterns like gaps and head and shoulders (the first edition was written in late forties).

On the other hand, it's amazing how timeless the simple (in a Zen sense) market wisdom and insight is. Like "Reminiscenses of a Stock Operator", this book gives you more than a new spreadsheet formula -- it gives you deeper understanding of the nature of the Market.

On the other hand, I think you shouldn't use this book as your first TA course -- you'll probably wish to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible.

The book's subtle points will be lost on you, while you'll be angered and frustrated by anachronisms. On the other hand, if you know the TA basics and are looking for refining your understanding, the same old charts and anachronisms (i.e.

calling Dow Jones Transportation Index "Rails") can be a welcome way to gain some insight into the history of subject, while enjoying the timeless wisdom of the founding fathers of Technical Analysis.
