Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The only unbiased examination of sacred Wall Street beliefs­­telling you what works, what doesn't, and why.

Wall Street is a fast-moving, unforgiving world in which traders and investors must often rely on axioms and "rules" to guide their buy and sell decisions. An incorrect interpretation­­or, worse, a commonly accepted belief that is just plain wrong­­can lead to baffling mistakes and huge trading losses. Stock Market Rules uses unemotional historical data to verify or debunk 70 of today's most time-honored maxims.

Examples of mottoes in action show you how legendary investors like Warren Buffet and Jesse Livermore have used them to build some of history's largest trading fortunes. Through analyzing these guidelines and explaining when they work or why they don't, Michael Sheimo has written the only manual you'll need to gain an insider's understanding of the stock market wealth.

Praise for the first edition:

"Mr. Sheimo's book, Stock Market Rules, is a valuable guide to help investors make 'sense' out of stock market folklore. It will help improve their understanding of the stock market and how it operates...a first-rate effort."­­Dick Stoken, Partner, Strategic Investments

"This unusual book will be of interest to individual investors and those fascinated by the lure and lore of Wall Street...analyzes each maxim and demonstrates which have proved to be true and which have not. Includes many charts and graphs."­­David Rouse, Booklist
