Sources of Information
This is an up-to-the-minute version of the Sources of Information list in the Appendix of Deemer on Technical Analysis.
Free Internet Charting Sites
Barchart.com: http://www.barchart.com/
Bigcharts: http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/
StockCharts.com: http://stockcharts.com/
All three are very good, and which one you choose will depend on your individual preferences.
Free Internet Sources of Information
Stocks at All-Time Highs:http://www2.barchart.com/stocks/athigh.php
The source for stocks making new all-time highs we cited in Chapter 16.
DividendInvestor: http://www.dividendinvestor.com/
Dividend growth rates and yields are both available on this site. (Also see Telechart, below.)
Charts for Less Than a Dollar a Day
DecisionPoint.com: www.decisionpoint.com/
This invaluable site has many powerful features, including the ability to quickly plot a relative strength line against any other stock or index. Also available on the site: the ability to see charts of Fidelity’s 39 sector funds ranked by relative strength (a concept I have been using with considerable success for 25 years).
Telechart: www.tc2000.com/
For those who want to dig deeper into stock charting and do such things as rank stocks within a particular group or sector based on a very broad list of criteria (including dividend growth rates!). Worden gives you its highly regarded charting software free; you then pay for the data, as you would with any charting software package. (If you go to the site, you’ll be greeted by a log-in screen; to get in, you’ll have to create a free log-in by clicking on the “Create one now” button.)
The Chart Store: www.thechartstore.com/
This is the best source—by far—of historic reference charts for the stock market, the credit markets, the commodity markets, and the economy available to the general public.
Monitoring Sentiment for Less Than a Dollar a Day
SentimenTrader.com: www.sentimentrader.com/
If you want someone to monitor all the sentiment indicators for you, Jason Goepfert is your man.
Suggestions for Further Reading
Investor Psychology
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, by Edwin Lefèvre, Wiley Investment Classics, Hoboken, NJ, © 2006.
Originally published in 1923, this is still the best book ever written on the psychology of investing.
Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis Explained, by Martin Pring, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY, © 2002.
If you want to dig deeper into technical analysis, this reference will let you dig as deeply as you want. It also discusses monetary indicators.
Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians by Charles Kirkpatrick and Julie Dahlquist, Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ, © 2006.
Another excellent reference on all things technical; it also has a brief discussion of monetary indicators.
Monetary Indicators
Money and Investment Profits, A. Hamilton Bolton, Dow-Jones-Irwin, Homewood, IL, © 1967.
The president of the highly respected Bank Credit Analyst taught most of us how to use monetary indicators back in the 1960s.
The Kondratieff Wave
The Kondratieff Wave, James Shuman and David Rosenau, World Publishing, New York, NY, © 1974.
A good, readable discussion of the Kondratieff wave. There’s also a lot of good information about the Kondratieff Wave on Wikipedia.
Investment Classics That Are Well Worth Reading (If You Can Find Them)
The Intelligent Chartist, John W. Schulz, WRSM Financial Service Corp., New York, NY, © 1962
The most intellectual discussion of and reasoning behind technical analysis ever written.
The Go-Go Years, John Brooks, Weybright and Talley, New York, NY, © 1973
The best chronicle of the great speculative market of the late 1960s. (I make an appearance on page 147!)
The Money Managers, edited by Gilbert E. Kaplan and Chris Wells, Random House, New York, NY, © 1969
Profiles of 19 investment giants of the 1960s. One is the most accurate telling of the Gerry Tsai story ever written (and I told Chris Wells, the author, so when I saw him years later).
Other Articles And Books By The Authors
An article by Dean LeBaron, Mark Ungewitter and Walter about long-term directional trends that was published in the Journal of Wealth Management in 2009. The article puts recent trends in a historical perspective.
NOTE: This link, unlike the one in the book, is not behind a paywall!
Nuclear Nebraska, by Susan Cragin, AMACOM, New York, NY, © 2007
In 1989 several government agencies put forward a proposal for a low level nuclear waste dump in Boyd County, Nebraska (population at the time: 3331). However, the residents of the largely uneducated farming community chose to resist the $3 million/year offer, and the community was transformed “from a small group of isolated farmers to a defiant band of environmentalists”. This is Susan’s remarkable story of the little county that couldn’t be bought.
