Trading Secrets: 20 Hard and Fast Rules to Help You Beat the Stock Market

By Simon Thompson

Have you ever wondered how the top City traders make big profits from share trading? Do you know why the best investors know exactly when the market is going to rise or fall? And do you wish you could do the same?By following 20 hard and fast rules, Trading Secrets shows you how you can make the same high returns as experienced investors and traders. Using historical, economic and technical trend analysis from the last fifty years, it identifies the ways for you to capitalise on such events as the clocks going back or moving forward, religious holidays, major sporting events and even the US presidential election. Written for both experienced investors and also those with little knowledge of the stock market, Simon Thompson's practical investing guide offers trading strategies that you can use over the short-term or the long-term. For instance, do you know how daylight changes affect how the stock market performs and, more importantly, how to make big gains by trading on this knowledge? Or do you know which sector has massively outperformed the market in the first quarter of the year - posting a quarterly return of 12 per cent - in all bar four years in the past three decades?Trading Secrets uncovers all and more importantly explains why these trends occur, so that you can be confident your investments will pay off, even when the market is falling.

43 high probability strategies for medium/long term investors

I am very sure that if one has the patience, discipline and system to follow the 43 proven strategies covered by this book, he/she will reap good profit year after year. The catch is, only very professional traders/investors can meet all the requirements above. Of course, it is not necesary to implement all the strategies at all to enjoy a definite trading/investing edge. A well researched resource for sure, particularly for those invest in the UK markets, though the principles are applicable else where. In short, recommended!

Undiscovered Gem

I am very surprised that this book has been slow in getting getting reviews. I have over 200 stock market books and this one has some information in it that none of my other books have. The book is well written and to the point. Read and reap!
