Trading Secrets uncovers all and more importantly explains why these trends occur, so that you can be confident your investments will pay off, even when the market is falling. The great advantage of studying the stock market, and trends in particular, is that we can quickly identify certain patterns forming that bear a scary resemblance to ones from the past. History may not repeat itself in exactly the same way, but in some cases it gets eerily close and that’s what Trading Secrets is all about. It reveals the trends and apparent stock market anomalies that have stood the test of time and, for those in the know, provide a regular source of profitable trading opportunities.
Author’s Introduction:
When I decided to write Trading Secrets, I had a very clear objective: to produce a book that encapsulated the best stock market trading ideas that I have discovered during my 20 years of following financial markets. I wanted the book to be both educational and practical, with the intention that both experienced private investors as well as those with little or no knowledge of the stock market could benefit and profit from these strategies. In fact, Trading Secrets has turned out to contain all the trading strategies that I wish I had known about when I started following the stock market during the 1980s bull market. It has taken me two decades to get this far, so the book will give all investors a head start, and a profitable one at that, in their investing careers.
Each chapter is broken down into sections, laid out in an easy-to-understand format. A description is given of the stock market trend or apparent anomaly that enables shrewd investors in the know to consistently make money. Knowing that a trend or anomaly exists is one thing, but more important is understanding why it occurs, so I have included a section entitled ‘Reasons for the phenomenon’ in each of the chapters before outlining the best trading strategy to use to profit from those trends and anomalies.
The book includes trading strategies that can be used by investors in either the short or long term, the economic and stock market cycle and are specific to the US and UK stock markets. This makes Trading Secrets unique as it offers clearcut strategies for all investors to follow, with each one being easy to implement. Most important of all, these Trading Secrets have proved very profitable.
