Reviews for Market Timing For Dummies

[jpsnow · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I find the Dummies books surprisingly hard to read. Maybe they only work for those who are truly and completely new to a topic. This book does seem to cover all of the basics, including the very important risks and caveats. What I found especially useful was a section in the middle of the book with several practical topics addressing seasonal patterns and useful indicators.
