Stock Market Technique Number One

Richard and some of the co-authors who wrote pieces in this book were the very few, handful, of traders making enormous profits in the market when the majority of the public were losers. This book is like finding a lake filled with diamonds. The brilliance of these men can only aide and inspire you on your trading adventures. MUST READ!

I really wanted to like this book. I've read "Reminiscences..." and a few other books from the early 1900s. The age of the writings did not bother me, as trading is timeless. I wanted to get exposure to Wyckoff and thought this would be a good place to start. Well, it has NO exposure to his famous supply and demand systems. It's like someone just threw a bunch of his publications, no matter what the subject, together, slapped his name on it and waited for the money to come in. A good example is pages about the track record of market advisers from 28 to 32. Why would anyone include that in a book for the readers at the end of the 20th century and beyond? (It was re-edited in 1984). I am still curious as to his ideas about trading, but this book is a grand failure. I can't even recommend it for the few lines of market wisdom, as you can better find the same and more in "Reminiscences..."

The price tells all, that is Wyckoff's advice for the market and that's my advice for this purchase of this book. A book, for the cost, must give you ideas that surpass the dollar value. There are so many timeless tidbits of advice that can pay for this book 100x. For the small investment in money and since the book isn't very long, your time, this book is a treasure. It's always nice to read books from way back because you realize that nothing really has changed in trading and that is a good thing. Learn the basics from one of the best, Richard Wyckoff.

As someone who has successfully navigated the market and has been quite profitable, I must admit it's not often you come accross too many good books on the topic of 'Trading'. There are some serious gold nuggets of wisdom throughout this little manuscript. Some of which can truly help to mold any laymen into a profitable trader; novice or experienced.No question about.... This book is a keeper, and the material within should be revisited regularly. It will guide you.

The booklet had very good information, however, I would have liked to have had more explanations regarding some items of interest to me, but on the whole, it met most of my expectations...

a must read if you want to understand the market.

Very good

Not anything new or relevant to trading today.

Nice storybook little learning but some very good parts.

The book itself is fine but there is no technique whatsoever in it. Wyckoff is mainly discussing is market philosophy and ideas. Even though these are interesting they won't provide any concrete tools or techniques for any trader.

Livre à recommander notamment aux traders aguerris. L'auteur décrit sa longue expérience et prodigue des conseils utiles pour tout trader qui souhaite travailler avec lucidité et clairvoyance.
