Ambitious work, badly written,
By book maniac (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Psychology of Successful Investing (Hardcover)
What's the point of this book? I really couldn't get it. Is it a book about technical analysis? Yes, it is. It puts a great effort to expound how to predict markets by observing cycles and patterns. But the rest of the book about technical analysis is limited and shallow, except for its evaluation of the Elliott wave principle. It's writing style is too complicated and hard to follow as well. I genuinely don't think it can get the message across effectively to those who want to learn more about technical analysis in order to 'forecast' financial markets. Having said that, I found the fourth part of this book: 'The trader at work' actually quite useful. It helps you to understand your personality type toward financial markets; it also provide you with advice about how to rectify the drawbacks associated with your personality. Lastly, it's never easy to forecast financial markets. I was impressed by the book title when I came across this book. Unfortunately, I didn't find impressive arguments in it.

The Best Book on Mass Market Psychology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Truth Behind Technical Analysis (Hardcover)
Tony Plummer's recent visit to New York and his speech at the Princeton Club had prompted me to reread his book. In his quiet, understated but with a tremendous clarity and style this professional money manager reveals mass psychology behind market moves. If the markets drive you crazy with their seemingly irrational swings, read this book to see the logic behind disorder. Tony Plummer illuminates market movements for you in a way that will impact your understanding for as long as you trade. Then he shares some of his analytic techniques. This book belongs on the desk of every serious technical analyst and trader! MAKE SURE you get this latest edition - Forecasting Financial Markets, published in 1998. For some reason, the three editions of his book have been published by three different publishers under different titles (marketing geniuses!!!) who continue to sell their outdated editions. So make sure to get the latest one!

Terribly written...but with a redeeming end!,

This review is from: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Psychology of Successful Investing (Paperback)
I totally agree with the first reviewer of this book. The "price pulse" theory is terribly written and very hard to understand??? But saying that the last few chapters "The Trader at Work" are redeeming...but not enough to raise the book above a 1 star.
