The Perfect Speculator: How to Win Big in Up Markets and Lose Nothing in Down Markets

Brad Koteshwar, the author of The Perfect Speculator, first came to be known for his report on a phenomenal 7000% price run in 52 weeks by Taser International's stock. When he released that report he had written for his clients as a fiction and looked for publicity in the local Arizona media, he was rebuffed as the who's who in the small but affluent communities of Arizona were all owners of Taser stocks. None of them wanted to believe that the stock price on Taser had topped out in April 2004. In this book, Brad Koteshwar continues the simple lessons of the stock market in a teacher and student format using the character of Boyd Hunt, a master speculator, as the teacher. In this day and age where fast, loose and easy money is hawked by the hundreds of stock market books, the author shows how the old, tried and true principles have always worked in past market cycles and will continue to work in future market cycles.

On my opinion
My opinion is not fact is just my opinion

Invest based on trends?

No specific useful info but mostly on predicting trends based on the past trends. Things and people change with time, and the past is not a good predictor for the future especially there are new techs and knowledge that didn’t exist in the past.
