...If You Can See It 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Respect to the author, but a lot of this material can be found on the internet already, such as the AB=CD and Gartley patterns. For a book about visual pattern recognitions, the b/w blurry charts were a disappointment. Authors take note, shell extra for some color and larger charts will convey more than words, it would become a bestseller fast. Still, I've timed some profitable options trades using the geometric patterns.
A Pesavento must have book is Astro Cycles...if you are ready for it

Editorial Review:

Trading the financial markets is extremely difficult, but with the right approach, traders can achieve success. Nobody knows this better than authors Larry Pesavento and Leslie Jouflas, both traders and educators of traders, who have consistently used pattern recognition to capture profits from the markets. In Trade What You See, Pesavento and Jouflas show traders how to identify patterns as they are developing and exactly where to place entry and exit orders. While some patterns derive from the techniques of Wall Street’s earliest traders and other patterns reflect Pesavento’s emphasis on the geometry of market movements and Fibonacci numbers.. Filled with hard-won knowledge gained through years of market experience, Trade What You Seeoutlines both a practical and sophisticated approach to trading that will be of interest to both novice and seasoned traders alike.

Larry Pesavento is a forty-year veteran trader. He operates a Web site,

Editorial Review:

Goldman Sachs, the nation's leading investment firm, with a solid-gold reputation and a first-class list of clients, began as a family business in a lower Manhattan basement in 1869. The secrets behind the remarkable success of Goldman Sachs since then are revealed in unprecedented depth in this fascinating and authoritative narrative history of the firm.

Former Goldman Sachs vice president Lisa Endlich draws on her insider's knowledge and access to all levels of management to bring to life a unique company that has long held its mystique intact. The most stunning accomplishments in modern American finance are explored through the story of how Goldman Sachs reached its summit.

Goldman Sachs: The Culture of Success provides a rare and revealing look inside an institution -- until recently the last private partnership on Wall Street -- and inside the financial world at its highest levels. Included here, in a new chapter, is a first look at the history behind the firm's landmark initial public offering.

Trading using technical analysis 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is a must read for anyone trading in the market, regardless of whether you are a short term trader or longer term investor. Tim Knight's knowledge and expertise in the area of charting is outstanding. I have used his chapter on "Fibonacci Friendly" patterns very successfully since reading his book in 2007. I am an Investools and ThinkorSwim client who truly respects the authors expertise with technical analysis. His book "Charting Your Way To Prophets" has helped me become a better trader and investor. I regularly (daily) visit his blog at slopeofhope.com to stay current with his Prophet chart updates and his current technical reading of the markets and tradeable trends.

Editorial Review:

Chart Your Way to Profits shows you how to harness the technology available on www.prophet.com to analyze markets and make informed trading decisions. It discusses the fundamentals of technical analysis and shows you how to design your own charts and indicators in a way that enables you to easily monitor the markets and make solid trading decisions.

The bible for strategic planning. 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a manager who has to establish the strategy for 2008, I found this book very useful. It took me some time to "get-it", as the book is arranged differently than my brain, but once I got it, I used it as the bilble for designing a Strategy and Strategy map as a DIY task.

A well-written source on mapping strategy 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a comprehensive book on the concept of strategy mapping. It deals with strategy maps as a tool for communicating an organization's vision enterprise-wide in order to enable its better implementation. The book covers the subject in a very detailed but well-organized manner. Theoretical and practical coverage is well balanced. I strongly recommend it as a clearly authoritative source on strategy communication and implementation.

Editorial Review:

"Strategy Maps" takes readers to the next level of precision in strategy implementation. "Strategy Maps" introduces a new tool that has evolved from Robert Kaplan and David Norton's ongoing research with hundreds of Balanced Scorecard adopters across the globe, and its premise is simple: if you can visually map your strategy, the people within your organization will better understand it and therefore be better able to execute it effectively. It offers a visual cause-and-effect explanation of what's working and what doesn't in a way that everyone in the company can understand. It helps get the entire organization involved in strategy.

Keynes and the Market: How the Worlds Greatest Economist Overturned Conventional Wisdom and Made a Fortune on the Stock Market

Editorial Review:

John Maynard Keynes was the world-changing English economist whose theories dragged the Western world from the doldrums of the Great Depression. A many-sided figure – in addition to his contributions to economics he was a best-selling author, a Baron in the House of Lords, and a key member of Virginia Woolf’s celebrated Bloomsbury Group – Keynes was also one of the few men to master the financial markets in practice as well as in theory. Over the course of his investment career Keynes’ net worth swelled to the present-day equivalent of $30 million and the college endowment fund under his management vastly outperformed the broader market.

In KEYNES AND THE MARKET, Justyn Walsh examines the secrets behind Keynes’ incredible stock market success.

A determined foe of conventional wisdom in all spheres of his life, Keynes’ unorthodox approach anticipated the investment philosophies of some of the world’s most successful investors, including the legendary Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway. Keynes’ six key investment principles, developed in the wake of one of the greatest financial crises in history, represent a straightforward and time-tested system for exploiting the periodic irrationality of financial markets.

Amid the current market turmoil and wild swings in investor sentiment, Keynes’ observations on stock market behavior are more relevant than ever. KEYNES AND THE MARKET explores what the modern masters of the market have absorbed from Keynes, and reveals how the everyday investor can profit from the stock market techniques of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20^th century.
