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: - a definite thumbs up ...
Selling and selling short are among the skills commonly neglected by traders and investors. Most of us tend to avoid these subjects, and instead apply the bulk of our efforts to the different aspects of selecting and buying equities. However, research shows that our ability to sell successfully is far more important than buying.

Sell & Sell Short focuses attention on several fundamentals of trading that are essential to success, yet are often overlooked or ignored. Starting with ... Read More

Rating: - Practical discussion of common trading issues
Sell & Sell Short addresses most of the questions which beginners ask about selling stocks. If you have reached the point where you understand that the selling decision is critical to the process of making successful forays into the market, this book is for you. I found this book to be fascinating. I could not put it down.

It has been written in three parts:

Part One

Rating: - Why so many five star reviews? Did I miss something?
I really had high hopes for this book, but I just can't recommend it. It strays too far off track and spends very little time focused on what I believed it would, selling and selling short. Although there are several useful bits of information provided in this book, none of them were original nor very insightful beyond what you would get in any beginners guide to trading. Sorry to say, but this is the only product that I have returned to Amazon...

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. On ... 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
