Hello All,
Most of you will probably know that John Atkinson has just released a new e-book, entitled “The Atkinson – Guppy Articles”. I recently purchased this book and would like to submit a brief review for those who may be interested in its content.
In his pilot trading book, Atkinson has selected a number of self-authored Guppy newsletter articles and recompiled them by means of an easy to follow topical structure. The result is a discerning synthesis between elementary and notional technical analysis that provides a brief purview into how to make these methods work in contemporary markets. This latter point is most notable when the author discusses often ill understood topics such as rights issues, share purchase plans and company take-overs with a view to establishing the conventional impact that these have within any trading scheme. Nevertheless, this is not a book solely on technical analysis. Rather, it aims to provide information on strategies that incorporate technical analysis methods. For instance, how should a trader manage a rights issue, or a company take-over? Topics such as these are addressed and scrutinised under the author’s preferred technical method. Moreover, meticulous attention is directed toward managing open positions and how stop losses play an integral part in this. Every trader will want to know what avalanche selling is and how it might otherwise destroy a profitable trade. It is for good reason, therefore, why the author chooses to devote more time to analysing exit strategies than any other topic.
Atkinson and his associates keep the aforementioned subjects informative without succumbing to excessive or redundant information that might lose or otherwise hinder a reader’s interest. These are important points for consideration, as many are no doubt aware of the frustration incumbent in a book that either has too much or too little to say. Thankfully, the author balances this situation by combining pointed instruction with brevity whenever possible. The book is likewise modest in its length, 155 pages in all, and can be read selectively in short time due to its topical rather than thematic composition. It is thus not an encyclopaedia, nor does it purport to be, so a reader should not expect an exhaustive coverage of select topics. Still, enough material is presented, along with source references, to satisfy the most curious reader looking to further their trading education. As a result, Atkinson has done an excellent job in selecting highly relevant material for the contemporary share market and should be commended for his fresh and undemanding approach.
For those who have been long time subscribers of Daryl’s newsletter, this book will come as a handy reminder and a quick reference tool. On the other hand, new subscribers or beginning traders will find the information of inestimable value, as nowhere else is such a broad range of pertinent subjects covered in a single book of similar length. Yet, whatever your level of experience, The Atkinson-Guppy Articles is sure to be an enjoyable and informative read for any trading enthusiast. If you like to be involved in what you read, then this book will no doubt make a welcome addition to your library. Herein lies perhaps the books most notable strength, namely its ease of understanding. Difficult subjects are presented in layman’s terms without much of the protracted or convoluted jargon routinely associated within professional circles. All too often specialist books do a disservice to their readers by alienating the very audience that they are attempting to keep. Really, this is where Atkinson’s book shines the most. You won’t need an education to understand his book – but you may just walk away with a better one.
Sincerely,
Nathan

After Nathan's review the other day, I bought and have just finished reading the new e-book Atkinson-Guppy Articles.
What a great book...
No flowery wording - straight to the point and most importantly it is NEW INFORMATION and not a re-hash of things we've already read in other books.
Topics such as how to use Share Purchase Plans and trading rights issues are explained in nice simple terms and immediately give strategies that can be used by anyone to help improve their performance.
The section on how directors buying and selling affects share prices and strategies that may be built around this is also a great section - there are just too many good sections to mention them all including trading triangle patterns and a comparison study of different exit strategies.
The book is easy to read and the information easy to apply....
