A breakthrough explanation of how any investor, regardless of experience, can use technical analysis tools to significantly improve performance You may consider technical analysis as beyond your expertise and of little tangible value. But evidence proves it can help you achieve your long-term investing goals more quickly. Technical Analysis for the Rest of Us clearly explains basic areas of technical analysis, such as price pattern interpretation and resistance/support levels, and focuses on those areas that are most useful and relevant to individual investors. This book presents a four-step process for using technical analysis to evaluate your portfolio holdings, sell investments that don’t match your objectives, locate stocks that both meet your objectives and provide superior long-term potential, and reshape your portfolio to improve overall performance.
A very beginner look at technical analysis. It covers the basic concepts behind TA, has some simple charts, and some quick quizzes to check your understanding. It's a quick read with textbook-only examples that you'll rarely see in the real world, but still a good basic learning instrument for anyone wanting to understand the markets better.
This is a good book entry-level book on the topic of technical analysis, the study of stock price charts. Frankly, an investor can dramatically improve their stock market success using the information in this book, and never study the topic any further. Caveat: the book does not remotely discuss fundamental analysis, the study of a company's balance sheet/financial data and stock valuation. I would not personally ignore fundamental analysis in the stock selection process, although the author certainly seems to be a proponent of that idea.
