The Author writes about the superperformance stocks of the time, and the common denominators of those stocks. What traits do they have in common, how to find them? Definition of a superperformance stock: "One that at least tripled in price and increased at a minimum rate of three times during a two-year period. A move was considered ended if the price failed to reach a new high in less than six months, or if there was a price reaction of 25 percent or more." Stocks that have a chance to become superperformance stocks share some of these characteristics: * Large increases of earnings, especially if the large increase comes as a surprise. * Mergers and acquisitions. * New management. * New products. The best results come after the market has experienced a severe correction or a bear market, because that is the time when there would be many bargain opportunities in that environment. History often repeats itself in the stock market. The names of the stocks change, but the overall situation is always similar. Acceleration of earning power is the most important thing to look for when examining the potential of a stock to become a superperformance stock. And the superperformance move will most often coincide with the bull market cycle of the general market.

Define the Trend and Trade the Trend shows how basic chart analysis can be used to generate buy and sell signals for stocks and other financial instruments. Geared towards beginner and intermediate chartists, this book puts theory into action with real-world examples. Chart reading is visually oriented because prices form recognizable patterns over time. These patterns can be used to determine the overall trend, estimate the depth of a correction and identify reversal points. Arthur Hill starts with the basics of trend identification and then describes the major bullish and bearish reversal patterns in detail. Once the trend is established, this book shows readers how to identify bullish and bearish continuation patterns, which are crucial to trading in the direction of the bigger trend. The final section shows readers how to estimate retracements and use candlestick reversal patterns to identify low-risk entry points. By the end of this book, readers will know how to estimate reward potential and define risk. Armed with this knowledge, chartists can compute the reward-to-risk ratio and determine if the reward is worth the risk. Packed with over 100 real-world examples, this book will serve as your reference for trading these key patterns.
