Summary: Patience does work
Review: Have read a TW book twice in life... in college and failed to see the wisdom... and this book about 5 years ago. Tried my best to learn and also followed a newsletter dedicated to TW market strategies. Three years ago portfolio account started and traded buying at TW breakout points and not before(equal shares in each holding), cutting losses on all stocks that did not follow through after breaking out...letting the others ride. The results as of today: current long 6 stocks up 3%, 103%,196%, 292%,323%,& 1074%. It is not get rich quick, but it does work. Up almost 11 times your money is nice but it is time to let this one go...check 3 year chart on OHB! Judge for yourself!

Summary: DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN OPEN MIND!
Review: I had received the Ken Roberts (junk mail) and started to look into the method used by Ted Warren.By the way,i borrowed a used copy of Ted Warrens book. I had found that it is possible to make the money that he claims you can make. I have been using this method for one month in the simulation and have made a 210% gain on the 5 stocks i picked. The simulation starts you at $100,000. Do the math, if i had invested real money, my wife would be a very happy woman (shes a shop-o-holic).If you ask 100 people how to make money in the stock market, my guess would be you would get at least 80 different ways. If you buy the book,or any book ,use it as research and not as "The investing bible". Take the time to study the stock market, and be your own wizard.

Summary: Excellent. Very good reading.
Review: I have recently read Mr. Warren's book and found it to be extremely insightful concerning the scary stock market. It brings answers to some of the happenings in the futures and stock markets. I found it very easy to read and understand. Ted Warren stumbled on something brilliant and wanted everyone else to know what he found. Some will listen, some won't. SO WHAT! The 'One Star Wonders' that review this book need to keep listening to their brokers and reading up on fundamentals and keep the odds stacked in our favor. They make less competition for the rest of us 'Investolators'. Ted Warren's principles are sound and proved over decades and still work today. Just take a look at a set of monthly charts and you too will see the 'light'. I wish people who open their mouths or let their fingers loose on their computer keyboards would expand their cognitive processes just a little and get out of the 'herd' and see what is really going on in today's markets. If what Mr. Warren says is not true, how do you explain the consistency of his teachings. Those of you who lost money and didn't feel confident with his methods, why did you put your hard earned money into the market without first 'paper trading'. This is 'The worlds one perfect business'. Thanks Mr. Warren and you also Ken Roberts.

Summary: one piece of the puzzle
Review: I read this book several times and i think it's worth reading for any investor. there are some aspects of investing that are not covered very will. money management, and taking the short side of the market. it mostly covers the timing and psychology of entering the markets from a long position. ie; buying the stocks outright. it doesn't do any justice to several other ways to "investolate" in the markets. for a strategy on being long the market, i think it is one of the best books out there... but not because of the technical analysis.(there is no ground breaking info there) the market psychology is what is worth reading about.

Summary: excellent "guide" for stock market investing
Review: I've had Ted's book now for about 10 years. Like any other "advice" book you don't want to follow it blindly but use common sense. When Ted says don't take a loss - he's mainly just trying to keep you from panicking when the markets fall. O'Neil says "take a loss if your stock falls 7% below original cost" - that's utter bull****. I bought one stock at $2 to watch it drop to $1 (didn't bail) to then watch it soar to $38!! I actually bailed at $22. You have to look for the basic trends that Ted's talking about - look in your local library and compare. The bases, triangles, etc are all there. Read his book 2-3 times, look for the patterns in current stocks, and you'll make money. I found additional patterns that he didn't mention or didn't explain very well - and made a lot of money. So use your own mind in addition to what you get out of the book. Happy Investing!

Summary: Goofy and asinine!
Review: If you like to read investment books written by in-your-face, stock market evangelists - this one might be for you! The late author rants and raves about evil insiders and the invisible-but-powerful "they" throughout the book. He seemed to advocate that his life-experience gained as a grade school drop-out, lumberjack, and stevedore gave him a unique perspective on viewing financial markets and qualified him as an investment authority. However, it is doubtful that this book will help you attain your investment goals.

The major problem I have with this book is that its methodology is based upon a common scaling error found in numerous charting systems. The author suggests purchasing issues that have had a significant decline in price and have broken-out of a subsequent, multiyear accumulation base. This accumulation base appears as a quiet period where the price fluctuates in a very narrow area while it is passing from weak to strong hands. The author used M. C. Horsey's "Stock Picture" as a resource for discovering such issues. Unfortunately, the monthly Horsey charts are arithmetically scaled. Stocks that were once at 50 on the chart and have declined to 10 will have all the lower priced activity compressed or squashed by the nature of the arithmetic chart. A 10% advance beginning at 50 would take the price up 5 to 55, while a like advance beginning a 5 would take the price up by only 0.50 to 5.50. Therefore, what appears to be an ideal trade set-up for Mr. Warren totally disappears when a more correct semi-logarithmic scale, which is calibrated to indicate percentage movements, is used. The reality described by Mr. Warren may not be the reality one encounters in real-time trading. The arithmetic quiet period is often a semi-logarithmetic roller-coaster, since lower-priced shares can be extremely volatile - for example, EFJI's share price recently collapsed by 11% in a single day! After selecting and purchasing a stock (or commodity), the author would follow his trades by traditional technical analysis tools such as trendlines, etc. I feel that his description of the technical method is rudimentary and simplistic!

Earning a superior investment return is hard work in a highly competitive field. Un- or inadequately-prepared dilettantes generally lose their capital sooner rather than later: the average futures account is bankrupt after only four months! There is much more utility and pre-packaged wisdom for the average investor in the standard works written by John Murphy, Martin Pring, and Alexander Elder - who all know what they are talking about and are excellent writers. I am certain that using the prescriptions outlined in Warren's book will disappointingly fall far short of "making the stock market make money for you!"

Summary: Amazingly simple approach
Review: It is amazing how simple the techniques used and taught by Ted Warren are to be successful in the stock market. This is no get rich quick program as other authors might try to sell you. If you remain patient and disciplined, you will be well on your way to retirement with no worries.

Summary: Amazingly simple approach
Review: Ted methods truly work. I use his methods to buy and sell stocks. At first I thought this guy must be crazy, but I was wrong. This is not a get rich quick scheme. It is not uncommon to gain 300% or more in a two to three year period. Read this book, follow the principles and you will make money.

Summary: Please don't buy this book
Review: The first edition of this book was completely bought up and presumably destroyed, as the information contained is so dangerous to the powers that rock Wall Street. Read it carefully. It is simple to understand, and then apply it. You do not have to wait until the market itself is down, anytime at all is always good if you do what he tells you to do.

If you are already invested, then get this book and never worry again when the market goes into a sell-off.
