Book description
Noted technical analyst John Person outlines a comprehensive method
to pinpointing today's best trading opportunities
The economy and stock market are heavily influenced by seasonal
factors. For example, a strong holiday buying season tends to be
bullish for retail stocks or rising energy costs hurt airline
profitability. Awareness of seasonal trends in both the economy and
stock market can put you in a better position to profit from sectors
and stocks that are likely to outperform the overall market. And
technical tools can then be used to confirm emerging trends and time
entries into these stocks and sectors.
Mastering the Stock Market provides authoritative insights into
a method for trading stocks based on seasonal trends, sector analysis,
and market timing. Taking a top-down approach, the book explains how
seasonal supply/demand forces impact commodities and different sectors
of the stock market. After learning how to identify stock market
sectors and commodity ETFs that are ripe for a big move, you'll
quickly discover how to use technical analysis to gauge the strength
of the sector or commodity and then identify the strongest stocks and
ETFs to trade. Along the way, you'll also learn how to use the
author's own indicators, Persons Pivots, to identify
support/resistance areas and pinpoint optimal entry and exit points.
