Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A fresh perspective on predicting the market
The experience of Wall Street investment manager and analyst Michael McDonald offers a new perspective on how to navigate the turbulent ups and downs of the markets. His innovative approach to the stock market teaches investors how to use new investment strategies intended to replace the "buy and hold forever" strategies of yesterday. McDonald discusses what a "trading range" market is-a roller-coaster ride in which the market will neither gain nor lose much ground-and guides readers through this market with his proven investment strategies. This book provides an understandable way to make sense of the unpredictable stock market, taking into account more complex theories, including chaos and contrarian approaches. Along with his expert advice, McDonald presents four investing paradoxes that will help investors make smarter decisions now and predict where the market is heading, using his proven theories.




Rating: - Much more a pack of writings to entertain or promote himself than to educate the readers
This is one of the worst trading/investment book I had read for long. The book title is completely misleading. I guess that the author, in 2002, had predicted a range trading market in coming years and so he wrote a book to backup and document his hypothesis to sell to his brokerage customers. I dont mind whether he made it right or wrong. However, I am very disappointed of how messy and disorganised his book is, that I really cant understand how he reached his conclusions with very brief coverage ... Read More

Rating: - A must read for investors
This book by Michael McDonald is an excellent one for obtaining an insight into the workings of the sometimes confusing stock market. His method of presentation makes it understandable, especially for the average non professional investor like myself.

How many people who invest in bonds really know how they are priced, or what fair value of stocks is, or how lump sum pensions are calculated? This information alone, based on stacking the money theory, is worth the price of the book.

Rating: - An Excellent Introduction to a Complex Topic
I found Mr. McDonald's work to be extremely interesting. As an investment professional, I can appreciate the considerable skill and erudition the author brings to bear as well as the straightforward, admirably lucid quality of his writing.
The author presents a remarkably attractive thesis and fully articulates it, making what could otherwise be an obtuse economic postulate a functional, successful model for avoiding the pitfalls of investing.
Above all, Mr. McDonald convinces the reader that ... Read More

Rating: - Recommended reading
Very seldom do you find a technical book that is interesting to read. I found this book to be not only understandable to people of the profession but also to people who know very little about investing and the way the market works. The author achieved this through an ease of writing with explanations understandable to everyone and actually fun to read. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about market.

Rating: - Excellent explanation of technical approach to investing
McDonald's book is a thorough examination of how technical analysis helps investors both understand how the stock market has performed in the past and how to use these tools to make more intelligent investment decisions. The author explains complex theory in a friendly and approachable fashion. The book should help both novice and more sophisticated investors.
