- A Spotty Treatment
I very much regret the money I spent on this book. I need a primer on technical analysis, one that starts with the fundamentals and builds to some more complex illustrations. This book, however, is weakly organized and compels the reader to consult external sources for the gaps in its coverage of the topic. Much of the text is preachy, sounding like the hucksters pitching an investment scheme on AM radio. The author has either done a poor job of illustrating the method behind the calculations, or has incorporated several errors in the text. I suspect both.
I looked forward to the charts, but they are not drawn intuitively, they do not support the text, and they are largely repetitive. It reads as though the author was getting paid by the page count. This one will be collected dust on my bookshelf.

- It Made Me Laugh!
I'm not the complete expert, but I favor technical analysis over fundamental analysis. This book, however, is so flawed that it would drive the uninitiated away from tech analysis. The errors and the grammar mistakes are inexcusable, particularly in a book priced like this. The author misconstrues most of the conventional knowledge in the field, and attempts some odd pastiche of research to no avail. An avalanche of charts, provided with no meaning or context. The author reminds me of the grade school student, faced with a baffling essay question, who begins flailing with his shovel, hoping to unearth some nugget of meaning. The author here, sadly, did not strike gold.
Rating: - Simplistic and Error Laden
With the plethora of suitable tomes on this topic, it is sad to see such a sorry effort in print. The author parrots some of the more familiar arguments favoured by the pop analysts, and attempts to hide the lack of useful instruction by inundating the reader with charts. The charts are given superficial examination, occasionally leading to a proper conclusion but just as often revealing a simplistic or erroneous analysis. This book is a fine guide to accumulating a small fortune, provided, that is, you begin with a large fortune.
Rating: - Full of Errors and Misconceptions
I have read many books on the subject, and I'm not sure this author has a grasp of the concepts. It reads as though it was pasted together from magazine articles, and there is very little to tie the disparate thoughts together. The author seems confused, as there are frequent contradictions, more than once in the same chapter. If you are only going to read one book on this subject, pick one where the author has a command of the topic; this one will leave you as befuddled as the author.
Rating: - Full of Errors, Poorly Written
The author takes a simplistic look at the subject; he explains nothing that cannot be found in the most basic primer. To compound the problem, the writing style is compromised. The writer has little command of English phraseology, nor apparently did his editor. I wonder if this was perhaps translated (badly) from another language? I also detected several fundamental errors in the treatment of technical analysis. Avoid this one, there are so many other books availalbe from genuine experts who know the subject and write with authority.
