Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In Sell and Sell Short, Dr. Alexander Elder examines one of the most overlooked aspects of trading and reveals how you can protect and profit from your trades by exiting them the right way. Throughout the book, he explains how to set profit targets and stop-loss orders prior to entering any trade. He also shares real-world examples that show how to manage your position by adjusting your exit points as a trade unfolds. Along the way, Elder also addresses short selling.




Rating: - Should you buy this book or not?
$53.55 plus shipping. So is this book worth the price? I will hopefully be able to give you an objective answer through this review. I would like to preface this review by saying that I have not read Elder's "Come Into my Trading Room" for a couple years (so my memory might be sketchy). I remember reading it at the time and coming away with a profound respect for Elder and how well he outlined the steps to becoming a professional trader.

This book is a bit of a paradox to me. ... Read More

Rating: - A single chapter worth the price
I think a book means different things to different people depending on where we are in our education. I bought this book because another reviewer mentioned the method the author described for keeping track of investments--why I bought stocks, why I sold them, what I could have done differently, and so on. I have serious problems keeping a trading journal that is helpful. I wanted to see what Elder recommended.

I was not disappointed. I would have bought this book for that section alone. ... Read More

As an experienced trader, what I liked best about Dr Elder's latest book is that (1) he goes into detail on different possible selling methods and (2) when advising shorting methods Dr Elder does not try to convince the reader about his own method, but he gently presents different ideas which are very nicely illustrated. I found many ideas that I can readily apply even though I use different tools than those presented in the book.

After reading this book, beginners will want to go back to ... Read More

Rating: - A pratical guide for selling
I found it is helpful on applying selling techniques, though the examples on selling were mostly short term focused.

It lacks of what I expected on medium/long term selling, or short selling.

Rating: - One of several books a new trader should read
This reasonably sized book outlines what a trader needs to know about selling (rather than holding) stocks. It also provides a good guide on how to approach short-term buying and selling, of which I am a fan. (I am not interested in selling short, but the information provided on the subject is useful for both directions.)

It is not an exhaustive work on trading as it touches upon chart patterns, but does not dwell upon them. Instead, it helps provide the framework in which to organize one's ... Read More
