Traditional methods of analyzing and picking stocks aren't enough anymore -- as millions of investors have discovered to their shock and dismay. The key reason: companies now systematically distort the operating results that investors depend upon for accurate analysis. In Stock Profits: Getting to the Core, Michael C. Thomsett offers a new approach to fundamental analysis that reveals exactly what's real -- and what isn't. Clearly and simply, Thomsett shows how to strip away misleading data that distorts a company's true 'core earnings,' growth curves, and business realities. Then, drawing on that information, he walks you through every step of a winning analysis: trend discovery, interpretation, and confirmation. You'll learn powerful new ways to manage market risk by assessing a stock's fundamental volatility. Next, Thomsett shows how to apply all five elements of success in today's market: investigation, regulation, communication, planning and discipline. Whether you're already using fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a dartboard, Stock Profits can help you achieve higher, more consistent returns.

Traders who use charts to time their moves rely on strong and clear signals. Unfortunately, price levels and traditional technical indicators alone aren't always reliable. There is a solution: candlestick signs, moves, and patterns. When these visual signs of reversal or continuation are integrated with other signals, they provide the strongest possible entry and exit timing: both the signal and the means for confirming it. In this easy-to-use book, renowned trader Michael C. Thomsett demystifies candlesticks and shows active traders exactly how to use them. In Trading with Candlesticks, Thomsett explains how each leading candlestick works, how they appear, and how to interpret them to discover emerging price moves and trend reversals, as well as confirmations of existing trends. Trading with Candlesticks shows dozens of examples of candlestick signs, moves and patterns in action, explaining them not in isolation, but as part of broader, developing price trends on real stock charts. Thomsett also discusses failed signals, and offers guidelines for identifying the likely impending failure or success of each pattern. While no investing approach is 100% foolproof, Thomsett's system for recognizing candlestick signals and confirming them with other technical signs makes technical analysis more accurate than it's ever been before.

To protect portfolios in today's volatile and uncertain market environment, institutional investors need to hedge losses, create extra sources of income, and reduce risk.

Thomsett shows how to do all this effectively.   One step at a time, Thomsett helps institutional investors exploit powerful, carefully chosen options strategies that can dramatically increase overall returns as you manage risks within your institution's limits. Thomsett discusses covered call writing on carefully selected stocks, contingent purchase strategies, and powerful "combination" strategies that produce cash to bolster current income. He guides professional investors through every strategy, using actual examples, portfolios, and graphs taken directly from today's markets. Wherever applicable, he addresses specific forms of risk and volatility that only institutional investors face.  This thoroughly updated Third Edition includes a chart-based analytical method that relies on reversal signals in the underlying as an alternative to volatility analysis. Thomsett presents new chapters on two powerful strategies he has developed and utilized to optimize returns while minimizing risk: the 1-2-3 Iron Butterfly, and the Dividend Collar. This edition also adds detailed new coverage of risk evaluation.

This is the only modern, action-oriented and practical guide to trend analysis and prediction for the professional trader. Unlike outdated competitive guides, it fully reflects today’s markets and charting sciences.   Writing for traders with basic knowledge of trends and technical analysis, Michael C.

You’ll learn techniques for gaining deeper insights into price change – and into valuable factors such as the angle of price change, trend duration, and offsetting price movements.   You’ll find detailed coverage of trend theory, resistance, support, trendlines and channel lines; patterns and confirmations of both reversals and continuations; broadening and narrowing trends, price jumps; and trends based on volume, moving averages, and momentum.   While other books focus solely on technical price movement,  A Technical Approach to Trend Analysis  will help you understand the trend itself – and use that insight to manage market risks far more effectively.
