"Technical analysis is the most basic part of the investment process. However, all too many investors aren't aware of this. Local author and market technician Walter Deemer, a cornerstone of technical analysis for nearly 50 years, describes what every investor needs to know in his newest book, The Essential Basics of Technical Analysis. This is the best explanation of technical analysis and is a must read for everyone involved in the stock market. 'This book is a very simple explanation of the absolutely-necessary role technical analysis plays in the investment process,' says Deemer. He emphasizes several simple concepts, such as a stock is not the same as the company and price is everything. Deemer says that a chart is worth a thousand numbers. 'You can get 90 percent of the information from a stock chart in 10 percent of the time,' says Deemer, 'but it takes the remaining 90 percent of the time to get the other 10 percent.' The material is presented in a concise (66 pages), well-illustrated and easy-to-understand conversational format without the usual technical mumbo-jumbo. He has a way of explaining technical analysis in terms that anyone can understand."
