Though they rely more on large-scale market dynamics than individual company fundamentals, technical traders still live or die based on the actual stocks they trade. How to Select Stocks Using Technical Analysis--a multimedia CD-ROM tutorial and workbook--explains how to use proven quantitative methods to analyze the trading environment, determine the most attractive industry groups, and then identify the most promising stocks within those groups. It contains everything traders need to know to dramatically improve technical stock selection skills and overall results, including:

• Relative Strength (RS)
• Stochastics
• Price oscillators
• The KST indicator
• Financial markets and the business cycle
• Industry group rotation around the business cycle
• Characteristics of primary bull and bear markets
• Optimal industries for selected business cycles

Customer Reviews

Now this is a great book
Out of all the books I've read this one is really unique. I thought it was just a simple book like all the others on technical analysis but there's quite a bit of content. I haven't been able to find anything similar on the internet or from other books. I'm glad I read it. I really understand what's going on in the not only the stock market but other market. I don't owe all my credit to this one book it's a must have for any serious investor. Prings a great teacher and his instuctional cd is great. People too often criticize great teachers because you can't get enough from them and that's not a downfall. I mean let's face it they get put down because some people can't keep up with profectionist. I have wore the pages off of my book from reading it.

Enclosed CD-ROM Would Not Load
I could not open the material on the CD-ROM. I called Pring's support number and they were of no help.

Great followup to intermarket technical analysis [murphy]!
I like this book a lot. It covers stock selection using a sector rotation and intermarket-analysis methodology. I think everyone who has read John Murphy's classic Intermarket Technical Analysis should go out and buy this book. Murphy gives you the theory, Pring gives you the execution -- both are needed.
