Great for beginners

This is a great book for beginner investors wanting to get an overview of technical analysis. Although each section doesn't go very in depth into each topic, you will still get a good understanding of how to use the different analysis tools to your advantage. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because it is a bit pricy, but still has a lot of good information that is very well presented. The end of chapter quizes and reviews were also helpful.
