Reviews

[Aman Shefedin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A timeless read that stock speculation is built on, as Dow is often considered one of the fathers of technical analysis. Even though the book was written in the early 1900s, much of the principles and concepts in the book still hold true in modern times. A good book to get a general understanding of where the current technical analysis practices stem from and what general principles are.

Mr. Charles Henry Dow, formerly the head of the Dow- Jones News Bureau, Wall Street's largest news gathering agency, had unusual opportunities for observing the methods of traders in stocks, both successful and unsuccessful. And it may be added that at the time of his death it was found that he had profited substantially by this accumulated knowledge.

- The Pursuit of Happyness
This is a work of nonfiction. I have rendered the events faithfully and truthfully just as I have recalled them. Some names and descriptions of individuals have been changed in order to respect privacy. To anyone whose name I did not recall or omitted, I offer sincere apologies. While circumstances and conversations depicted herein come from my keen recollection of them, they are not meant to represent precise time lines of events or exact word-for-word reenactments of my life. They are told in a way that evokes the real feeling and meaning of what happened to me, in keeping with the true essence of the mood and spirit of those moments that shaped my life
