Simple guidelines remove emotional errors of stock trading
This book is an excellent work on exercising rational techniques for investing in the stock market with a long view of returns. Not intended to be a "speculators" guide, the authors describe specifically what indicators prompt an investor to buy and sell, actions that will be contrary to prevailing market sentiment, but validated by the results of several long-term studies on the success of these indicators in the market. The book doesn't pretend to be fool-proof in its methodology, offering sound advice on how to protect against losses, save profits, and distribute risk in one's portfolio. All this adds to the credibility of the authors and raises the reader's confidence in the thoroughness of their approach to stock market investing.

Excellent primer for stock market beginners
I recommend that all people who wish to invest in common stocks read this book first. I suggest this book to all my clients.
