Simple yet Practical

This is a great book written by a man very confident in his trading approach. I do wish the producer of this copy included the charts, but if you can imagine the price swings of the securities listed, you can get an idea of how he determined accumulation and distribution, his basis for positioning his trades.

This book gave me the complete philosophical and spiritual insight into stocks.

Timeless wisdom from a master. Applicable a century late and for markets he was never aware of. I'm only halfway through it but it's enough for a 5* already.

This book is obviously very dated and the charts were very hard to read (some of them completely unable to be read as they were so feint). But, there was a few interesting things in here.
Not a very easy read or particularly for a beginner trader but reading the work of an "expert" - however controversial - is never a waste of time.
