Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Great guide, just a little outdated! (Michigan United States) December 15, 2003 - 5.0/5 stars
This book has two sides to it. First of all, it gives some psychological
tips to investing, which is not a surprise, given that the author is
psychiatrist.
I bought this book expecting psychological theory of
investing but it turned out to be rather a minor topic.
The book is
concentrated much more on technycal analysis. I probably haven't read many
books on investing but from everything I read this one provides the most
complete picture of different methods of technical analysis (not
forgetting to describe mass psychology related to every method).
Yes, in
some cases the book is outdated but the fact that after all the changes
related to Internet, introduction of discount brokers, etc the book is
still has a great value, speaks for itself.
This book can serve as a very
good step toward understanding technical analysis assuming you will get up
to speed of today's world leveraging more recent publications
