Riassunto

What accounts for the loyalty and zeal of Tom Dorsey's book-buying devotees? What traders and investors want is what Dorsey gives them -- the tools for making the right decisions -- not theory or an overly complex trading "system". Tom Dorsey's Trading Tips draws upon the collective wisdom of Dorsey and his colleagues -- whose closely followed newsletter and Web site provide a daily education of insights and research to legions of brokers and investors. Tom Dorsey receives constant feedback from traders who have built their success with Dorsey's techniques, so he knows that his strategies work.

Tom Dorsey's Trading Tips includes invaluable coaching on the general market, point-and-figure charting techniques, options strategies, as well as a portfolio of other valuable topics. And Dorsey's tips are simple to apply: self-contained, well chosen, tested strategies that can be confidently mastered because he has made them crystal clear, and shows his readers exactly when and how to use them.

This book condenses the author's most useful stock-and-option trading techniques in a highly accessible, conveniently organized playbook format that readers can and will easily consult again and again.
