content: All the positive reviews of this book have the air of greenhorns or promoters. I have read this book and it greatly oversimplifies the process of investing to the point where I found myself laughing outloud. A stock going sideways for many months or years means absolutely NOTHING! Sideways action has a %50 chance of being accumlation or distribution by the professionals/insiders. Check out the bases for these stocks: Boston Chicken and Bre-X. They were perfect setups according to Ted's plan. Wanna know where they are now? How about zero, that's right ZERO. Neither one trades anymore. Bre-x went under and Boston Chicken went bankrupt. People who invested their hard-earned money in these dogs with Mr. Warren's terribly inadequet techniques got their proverbial "heads" bitten off. If successful trading in stocks were as easy as looking for sideways action, we would all be rich.
