Synopsis:

DID YOU FALL PREY TO INTERNET MANIA? Many investors were lured into the feeding frenzy of Tech stocks, Internet stocks, and dot-coms, but those who followed the proven methods of Edwards and Magee were prepared for a market adjustment. When nothing else seems to work, technical analysis does. Based on extensive research and experience, Technical Analysis of Stock Trends gives you proven trading and investing techniques for success, even in today's seemingly uncertain and unpredictable market. Get the new edition of the trader's bible. Completely revised and updated, the Eighth Edition is the newest testament to the bible of stock market timing. Edward's practical clarification of the Dow Theory, explanations of reversal and consolidation patterns, trendlines, and support or resistance are still the most useful tools you can have. Magee's proven methods remain the most effective measures ever developed for determining reliable buy or sell signals. Easy to follow examples explain how to construct and use charts to monitor trends and project with confidence when prices will fall; how far they will drop; when to buy; and how to calculate and set up "stops" that protect your investment.
