My understanding has always been that you cannot trade the markets. Instead, you only trade your beliefs about the market. For example, if you believe that the market is going to go up (or generally goes up in the long run), and you believe that trend following works, then you might adopt a trend following approach to buy stocks that are going up. However, if you believe that the market is overvalued and likely to go down, then you might have trouble buying stocks that are going up because it conflicts with your beliefs.— V.T.

"Van Tharp is a living legend. He is opening the doors to what really matters in trading and investing. He goes beyond suggesting ways to find potentially good stocks. He helps the reader understand the importance of how much to buy, how to get out when you are wrong, how to get out when you are right, how to assess your winning percentage, how to assess your returns from your system and most important of all- he explains the importance of investor psychology. A must read for any trader or investor." — Review from Amazon.com, January 2007
