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.

Book Description:

Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, is a critical reference for investors--especially in today's tumultuous markets. This seminal book--the first to produce a methodology for interpreting and profiting from the predictable behavior of investors and markets--revolutionized technical investment approaches and continues to show traders and investors how to make money regardless of what the market is doing.

Now, with the addition of noted technical analysis authority W. H. Charles Bassetti (editor)--as well as charts and graphs that pertain to today's market environment and major stocks--this completely updated and revised edition confirms the wisdom of the original work for today's markets. Technical traders and chartists will turn to it for:

* Information on utilizing electronic markets, the Internet, wireless communications, and new exchanges, plus current ideas on portfolio management and risk management

* Chapters on futures and derivatives charting and trading

* Expanded treatment of ""runaway"" markets--to help put the recent Internet stock craze in perspective

""Chart formations,"" states Charles Bassetti in the preface, ""are the language of the market."" Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, translates that language for a new generation of technical traders and investors."
