Successful stock investors tend to stay loyal to a single strategy or investment method. What sets them apart from everyone else is their ability to stick with it consistently, staying committed to one method even when market volatility makes things very difficult. Through All About Stock Market Strategies by David Brown and Kassandra Bentley, you can better understand that difference and how such investors achieve success.
The Authors of All About Stock Market Strategies
All About Stock Market Strategies was written by two notable authors, David L. Brown and Kassandra Bentley. The book marks a very successful collaboration between them.
David L. Brown is a former NASA scientist, former chief market strategist at Telescan and head of research at Sabrient. He has served on the boards of several banks and major financial institutions and on the advisory board of the Southwest Public Chief Executives Council.
David L. Brown is also a longtime investor. He designed and developed the ProSearch stock screening program, which industry reviewers rated very highly. Over his career he lived through many market ups and downs and gained a great deal of experience, all of which he recorded in four books on investing. All About Stock Market Strategies is the most representative of them.
Kassandra Bentley is also a well-known author who specializes in writing about technology and finance. She was also a designer for the Cyberl website – one of the world’s leading financial investing sites.
Main Content of the Book
All About Stock Market Strategies presents the authors’ research, investigation and broad analysis of the most popular stock investing styles of the time. They study in depth the strategies that help investors buy promising stocks and the methods that work best in different investment environments.
Through the book you will be introduced to the PQ chart – a very effective tool to help you find the investment style that suits you best. The PQ chart also screens and suggests concrete approaches that fit you personally, such as cautious long-term investing or a short-term strategy. Choosing a strategy that matches your own investment style is vital; choose correctly and you already have one foot through the door to success. For example, if you like buying cheap stocks but lack the patience to wait for them to rise, you are not well suited to long-term investing.
All About Stock Market Strategies gives readers the broadest overview of investment strategies and of the most important qualities a successful investor should have. The authors do not offer a specific tool or instructions for profiting from stocks; instead, they present investor profiles most similar to and best suited to you, so that you can learn from their strategies and investing temperament.
The book has 9 chapters:
- Chapter 1: Market perceptions and investor beliefs
- Chapter 2: The processes of investing in the market
- Chapter 3: An overview of investment styles
- Chapter 4: Growth investing strategies
- Chapter 5: Value investing strategies
- Chapter 6: Investment strategies based on rates of growth
- Chapter 7: Technical investing strategies
- Chapter 8: Using market capitalization as an investment strategy
- Chapter 9: Major investment approaches and other market strategies
Each chapter is presented in great detail. Once you have studied them all, you will see that there is no single best method; each investor suits a different one. If you are cautious and value safety, value investing is a good fit; if you like taking risks, short-term swing trading is not a bad choice. No one is forcing you to follow any one method, and we can combine them flexibly to achieve the best investment results.
