About this title

Review

There's one simple tip when planning stock market investments--don't take tips. Use your own research and there's every chance that you can outperform the market, says David Linton in this major revision of his bestseller. He is firmly of the view that turning in profits and avoiding losses is not as difficult as it may seem, with graphs holding the key to success. It is in the interpretation of what they contain-- "everything that everyone in the market already knows about the stock" according to Linton--where profits can be made. His methodical system enables the investor to spot reversals and identify trends with the help of software that allows private investors to have a home system comparable to the sophisticated equipment used by The City.

The book offers sound advice in a no-nonsense style and repeatedly highlights the simple central message--cut losses and let profits run.

There's advice too on buying a PC, obtaining information from the Internet and other sources, and suitable software to help you on your way, plus the offer of a free copy of the stock market simulation game Profit for Windows, which retails at £9.99. Essential reading for the growing number of small investors. -- Stuart Russell
