Provides a very good intro to active investing - combining fundamentals and technical analysis.
I am a bit hesitant to apply his Market Tops and Bottoms signals as he does not back them up with any history - maybe I'll do some research some day - when I get the time.
The Cup and Handle pattern looks promising - has anyone had any success applying this?

Along the same author flavour, I'm in the middle of reading O'Neil's "How to make money in Stocks". The first part of the book I think is well worth reading as it gives an investor (he calls everybody speculators) an appreciation how to evaluate healthy, well performing companies from the riff raff. He's approach is to seek out those growing companies with proven earnings records but to stay away from the traditional dinosaurs (think blue chip) who have already experienced most of their growth. In the least it has given me an appreciation for evaluating companies. Forums like these a valuable. Also use the Amazon.com user reviews as a guide on books.

cup & saucers & handles -
success - yes and no - i have problems determining the length of the cup - but i've noticed that when a handle forms, it'll often finish with a slight dip and serious vol contraction before taking off. the trick as a trader is to get on without getting shaken out through misreading the timeframes. (eg me 2 weeks ago on AUN). or BRZ nov 2001 - got shaken there too, although that was a pretty short cup through oct.

Newboy just placed a querie re- YAM.
In my humble opinion, if you look at period 2000 thru now, is this not what a cup and saucer are supposed to look like.
Looking at short timeframes - cannot work as the balance between us all mug punters (Buyers & Sellers) hasn't stabalised.
(No animals were hurt in the formation of this opinion or the cration of this email)

myklan - saucer is flatter than cup, both should have right side of shape at around same height as left. and both should take (from memory) 6 weeks plus to mature. a few months is strong.
handle, if formed, will be a relatively short drop after the right hand side, to about 1/2 depth of cup or saucer, with corresponding vol contraction, followed by breakout. theory follows that the more pronounced, mature the formation, the more liklihood of a significant strong breakout.

Lepe - Thank you, for your clear and consise explanation.
Education is a wonderfull thing 'if you can remember it' The few remaining grey cells are confusing themselves with the grey hair and gravity has decided to step in to have its say as well.
