Tape Reading and Market TacticsThe 1931 classic, Tape Reading and Market Tactics, in which author Humphrey B. Neill
tells not only how to read the tape, but also how to figure out what's going on behind the
numbers.
Full of graphs and charts, Tape Reading and Market Tactics contains excellent
sections on human nature and speculation. This not to be missed bestseller tells about
the mechanics that drive price action.
New conditions will arise. A new trading public will be born. However, the old cycle of
rallies and reactions will roll on.
Although originally published in 1931, this classic work remains the benchmark in tape
reading and price and volume analysis in speculation.
Historically one of the best
selling titles on this topic, Tape Reading and Market Tactics is a testament to
the real genius of Neill and his grasp of human nature.
A true pioneer in contrarian thinking, Neill is steadfast in his advice to break away from
the unknowing and invariably unsuccessful public: "Beware of the crowd. When everyone
thinks alike, watch out. They're probably wrong." Neill’s philosophy pushes the reader to
study hard and pay ones' dues. He insists that the successful trader is an educated
entrepreneur; one who can make reasoned decisions based on the movements of price and
volume.
For Neill, only proper and continuous study equals success. In today’s technologically
complex trading environment, Neill’s simple advice still rings true: Mechanical
forecasting will never take the place of intelligent judgment. In Tape Reading and Market Tactics,
Neill made a statement to his generation and to all that have
followed: Don’t follow the crowd, learn the tape.
