 Great book, but NOT an update October 21, 2008

There are no better market technicians than Mr. Mamis, in my opinion. He has been through it all, and his writings clearly demonstrate the truth of how the market works, and what any trader needs to do in order to make a go of it.
That said, DON'T expect this book to be an update of the same book written, what, maybe 25 years ago. I had hoped to get his take on some of the gyrations that have occurred since the first book, but no luck. All that's different in this book is that he's written an updated preface. If you have the first book, keep it and enjoy it, but don't buy this one, it's 99.99% the same book. While the preface is nice, it certainly doesn't justify buying this book if you have the first edition.
One of three trading books you have to read! August 16, 2008

After reading two other books by Justin Mamis, I was excited to read this one. When to Sell: Inside Strategies for Stock-Market Profits and The Nature of Risk were two extraordinary books on trading. This author knows what he is talking about and really relates tough topics in an easy to read fashion.
My opinion is if you trade, you need to read all three of these books.
This book, "How to Buy", covers everything you need to make your decisions and pull the trigger on a trade. He explains what to look for, how to gauge the strength or weakness in a stock, how to gauge the attraction for other traders, and how to get in on that stock as it is being accumulated.
Why would you buy a stock that may not do anything for you? Get one that is showing the signs of moving where you want it to go. Justin talks about buying sensibly and not emotionally. He also talks in depth about when NOT to buy. That topic alone could save you a fortune on your next stock pick.
This and 'When to sell' should be required reading March 5, 2002

From covering all the thoughts that go through ones heads at the time of pressing the trigger, to all the consequences of these thoughts. Everything is covered in this book.
Then it helps one create a strategy for buying based on facts rather than emotions. I would recommend this book and When to Sell above most books about trading.
Great series of Books. December 2, 2001

I can't say enough about the series of When to Buy, When to Sell, and The Nature of Risk. Ironically, I bought the When to Sell years ago, read it and shelved it. It's pages would have saved me a bundle over the past year. As the worst seems to be behind us, knowing when to get back in is key. Simply written with great examples, make this book a must own.
