Richard Schabacker... arguably the "grandfather" of TA, before Edwards and Magee: http://stockcharts.stores.yahoo.net/teanandstmap.html If you look him up on Amazon, recent reprints of his 3 books are available.
when you watch mad money/feed jim cramer more money by buying his book, hes just restating everything thats already in Rem of stock operator. lol,,i bet cramer used to make love to this book, i do sometimes. No but read it over 10 times and am starting to read it again. Very good story and always pick u-p something everytime i read it again
I think the concept in Reminiscences that has mattered most to me is opening my eyes to really being able to ride the winners and not get out too soon. The effect this has had on my trading is amazing, there's a vast difference. Another thing this book clearly shows is that speculation is as old as the hills...
