Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets

Once I got past the goofy jacket cover, I devoured this book!!! Love it. This blog is based on the principles in Stan's book which is still very relevant today. Stan outlines the concept of Stage Analysis which is the idea that there are 4 distinct stages in any market. Stage 1 - Base, Stage 2 - Advancing, Stage 3 - The Top and Stage 4 - Decline. Using the concepts outlined here, I got out of the market drop before it started. Well written and provides plenty of detail on how to get in and out of markets.

Benefits:
  • Explains Stage Analysis in detail
  • Provides Broad Market Analysis
  • Explains when to Buy and Sell Stocks
  • Tons of examples with charts 
  • Checklists
