 Great book August 2, 2009
TrendTrader
I agree with many of the comments above - this book is excellent at relating historical patterns to current trading in the stock market. I subscribe to a site - [...]- that uncovers the same type of historical trends for individual stocks. It has helped my trading tremendously to use this stock history along with some simple technical indicators.

I wish I would have dicovered this book ten years ago.
So much for the lost decade.
Armor, shield, and sword for stock market battles October 24, 2007
Keith J. Chung (Los Angeles)
This book and the yearly Almanac by Hirsch Organization are the very basic staple weapons for Battle for ultimate victory in stock market. I simply would not engage in the market without them.

This is a great reference, where is contains a lot of compiled data of the years and tries to give some reasons for the tends presented. One main thing I took away from the book was that the market is really just a wild and crazy beast, but there might be some signs that can point to "warm fuzzies" for guidance in timing the market (sometimes).
Must have for an investment library December 7, 2006

This book is a must have for its research in patterns. Weekly, daily, monthly, and presidential election patterns are all examined to show you the probabilities in trading in specifies time periods. From the data shown it is essential to stay in the market for November and December this is where 40% of the gains have come in the past 80 years. The stock market tends to decline on Thursday and Friday with traders getting out of their positions for a stress free weekend and then the market generally rises on Monday and Tuesday with the reentries. It is essential to fully invest in the stock market in the year before the presidential election, they have returned over 20% in the S&P over the past 4. Stay out of stocks in August and September, they are historically terrible months.
Also the chapter on the cyclical stocks shows you what sector to buy in what month and when to sell. For example :buy consumer stocks in May and sell in September. I can tell you from watching my company's stock over the past 4 years that this is true and one of the best ways to make money in the market. The graph with all industry sectors and showing the buy and sell months is worth the price of the book.
I have returned an average of 20% in my investments over the past 4 years and I can tell you if I would have had this book I could have increased my returns by at least 10%. I would have also decreased my losses during the bear market years by 10% by staying out of the markets in the worst 3 months.
Buy this book and read it to increase your probability of trading success dramatically. I promise you the book will pay for itself in one trade using its principles.
