Synopsis

The Almanac is an extremely valuable and unique reference work providing traders and investors with the strategies, methods and data to tackle the markets throughout the year. It is the one essential book for the serious trader or investor.

The Almanac consists of four main sections:

1. Calendar
The Calendar provides 12 two-page summary articles of the main features of each of the months of the year. This includes the historic average performance, the sectors and shares that tend to be strong or weak in the month, the month’s major anomalies and seasonality patterns, the significant dates coming up, and a chart of the average daily performance throughout the month.

2. Strategies
This section describes the major anomalies and seasonality effects in the UK market and how they can be exploited.

3. Analysis
In-depth analysis of the characteristics of the UK and international markets, to help give traders and investors an edge in the markets they are active in.

4. Reference
The Reference section includes background information about UK and international stock indices. Topics covered include basic facts about the market, trade codes, a timetable of the trading day, a timetable of company results announcements, and a look at the original constituents of the FT 30 of 1935 and the FTSE 100 of 1984.

About this title

About the Author:

Stephen Eckett started his career with Baring Securities and then later worked for Bankers Trust and S.G. Warburg, during which time he worked in London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. After settling in France he co-founded Harriman House which has become the leading independent publisher of financial books in the U.K. He also writes books on finance including, most recently, the Harriman Stock Market Almanac.

Review:

"Harriman’s Stock Market Almanac is a very useful and interesting guide for traders and investors of the UK stock market, indispensable perhaps. The numerous strategies provided have application for other stock exchanges as well. Certainly a book that UK traders will want to keep on their desks for quick and regular reference, which is a benefit of a book format (as opposed to electronic) as well. The book is based on the time-tested phenomenon of repeatable anomalies that occur on the London Stock Exchange, most of which occur on the US stock market as well.”
-Colin Abrams, CMT, technical analyst and founder of TheMarket.co.za

"The bible of market anomalies."
-The Telegraph

"An annual publication which is a must-read for all fans of stock market investing - it combines a mixture of some trivial but amusing anecdotes and facts about the stock market with some more interesting analysis of trends that recur each year and other kinds of anomalies... things that, theoretically at least, you can make some money out of if you are aware of them.”
-Jonathan Davis, journalist, editor of Money Makers and The Investment Trusts Handbook
