Major disappointment. The author uses the term "Dow Theory" in order to get people to buy the book, yet only about 10 pages are devoted to Dow Theory. Of those 10 pages there is one chart, which isn't easy to understand, describing the buy and sell signals. The rest of those 10 pages is a history of Charles Dow and the Dow Jones Industrial Average/Transport Average (AKA, Railroad Index.) Big deal. The rest of the book is all about the run of the mill indicators anybody can use on a stock chart such as stochastics, RSI, Volume Acc/Dist and Williams %.
No great shakes here. Mega Bust. If you're looking for a book devoted to Dow Theory don't start here. This book may benefit some investing newbie who believes that he can beat the market by creating a chart and watching the 50 DMA along with a little 14 period RSI for overbought/oversold levels. Good luck with that.
