Profits in the Stock Market by H.M. Gartley was originally published in 1935. To get the most out of this discussion, the whole books, should be carefully reviewed. To gain the greatest benefits, two complete re-readings are suggested. Experience has indicated that such re-readings will enable the average person to find a wealth of material, part of which he has passed over, and part of which has been obscured by the great mass of detail. Now, with the entire Course in mind, the reader may hope to gain a great deal by this review of the whole Course.
In Chapter I, great emphasis was laid upon the necessity for a plan of operation. In reviewing the Course, the following outline, classified according to the two primary problems, namely “When” and “What” to buy or sell, may prove a useful guide. Next, we find section II, under the heading “The Working Tools”. These are market phenomena which develop as the trends unfold. They form the remaining part of the “When” question study. Once decisions have been made concerning the outlook for the future course of the market, the technical student is then ready to give serious consideration to the “What” question. This we find in section III, under the heading “Comparative Studies”. As the market is so complex, and includes such a vast number of individual units, the process of filtration is essential. This consists of studying groups of several stocks each, which are properly classed in a single category.

Its a book about technical analysis by a wise man , his logic has meaning, his writing style shows a well educated gentleman ,some pages of his book are telling the story of today .His charts are clear, simple, almost naked charts but so nice. In investing factory u can meet any type of guys here u meet a book who wants from u to work every paragraph looking charts but also thinking.Buying this book is like opening a new way of thinking not finding formula’s for the millions waiting in the corner after the office of ur stockbroker.Read it if u like to think like a professional dont read it if u are looking for something like ” the new system of ..” , knowledge of past era is power.

This is a classic trading book with extensive studies of the markets during the depression. It takes a long time to work through all the material, there are other books on the market that are updated.

Harold McKinley Gartley had a stock market advisory service in the mid-1930s that had a large public following. This service was one of the first to apply “scientific” methods and research to resolution of the stock market problems: 1)what to buy; and 2) when to buy. This correspondence course is a summarization of Gartley’s findings through 1936. The original course was issued looseleaf, in a green, three-ring binder. Lambert-Gann, Inc. has reissued this course in a more convenient book-format along with a separate package of oversized charts for easy reference against the textual explanations.

If you are a serious investor/trader then this book is for you. Though the primary focus is technical analysis, Mr. Gartley explains the importance of fundamental analysis and the psychological affects that affect the decision-process as well. He explains that you cannot have one without the other if you are a serious investor and you must have all the tools at your disposal if you are going to be successful in the business of investing. The emphasis is technical in nature but very fundamental in utilization of all tools necessary to becoming a successful in the business of investing. Remember investing is not a game, gambling, or hobby. Investing is a Business. If you are in the business of investing, this book is for you.

This is one of the best books I have ever read about technical analysis. Although the charts aren’t what you would call ‘contemporary’ (the 30s and back) the wisdom in it still lives today. It’s a Complete Course, which used to be sold by chapters, but now, bound in a single book you’ll be able to read all there is to it. The law of supply and demand hasn’t changed that much ever since, just the participants in the markets. With all the knowledge within the book you’ll get a series of accompaning charts to help you in your study that show in a nostalgic, although informative way, how to build a trend following system. The trading style devised will be greatly appreciated by everyone who knows the virtues of patience on trading – waiting for the ideal timing with high probability of sucess. Buy this one and you’re trading is almost guaranteed to improve.
