When to Sell: Inside Strategies for Stock-Market Profits (Fraser Publishing Library)
Since the original publication of When to Sell in 1977, which was cited by the New York Times as one of the two or three best books ever written on the stock market, Justin Mamis gets the phone calls asking "how do we know when to sell?" Of course these phone calls come after the market has gone down.  When prices are up, investors should be looking for "when to sell". Indentifying tops -- the emotions that accompany tops, the indicators that say it is a top, the stock actions that warns that it is getting to be time to sell - these are the meat of the book When to Sell.  This book was completely rewritten in 1995 and now includes a new foreword by the author. Although many specifics have changed since the original book was first published over twenty years ago, there are also many consistent verities that need to be repeated.  It still takes just as long to make a top, the same sort of failures can be identified whether one is dealing with American Buggy Whip or Microsoft and it still requires both patience and belief -- patience to wait for a big enough top to form and belief that it really is a top and thus has become time to sell.
