Dow Theory For
The 21st Century: Technical Indicators For Improving Your Investment Results
(228 pages, $49.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-0-470-24059-5) by Jack Schannep,
published by John Wiley & Sons.
Charles Dow's first 11-stock index had nine railroads. A dozen years
later -- 1896 -- saw the first Dow Jones Industrial Average of 12 companies.
He saw the movement of the stock market as an indicator of business activity.
More than a hundred years later, "Dow's theory" is still relied on in today's
markets. This book expands on that theory and brings it into the new millennium.
This book discusses patterns, buy and sell signals, bull and bear markets,
and the details of why they still work and will continue to do so, with
some reformulation, into the future.

Good Guys &
Bad Guys (292 pages, $25.95 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-1-59184-162-3)
by Joe Nocera, a Portfolio book, published by the Penguin Group.
Some people think business journalism is all about balance sheets, income
statements, and earnings per share. The really interesting questions are
about heroes and hucksters, visionaries and madmen, and other larger-than-life
characters. For more than 25 years, author Joe Nocera has shed light on
the giants of the business world. The work collects his best articles and
updates them with fresh context and insights. He shows the qualities of
some of the biggest bad guys, and the bad side of some of those known as
good guys (and you'll find out why he was not first in line to buy an iPhone).

Sentiment In
The Forex Market: Indicators And Strategies To Profit From Crowd Behavior
And Market Extremes (196 pages, $75 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-0-470-20823-6)
by Jamie Saettele, published by John Wiley & Sons.
Participation in the foreign exchange market has grown substantially.
The amount of technical and fundamental foreign exchange information available
has exponentially increased, but the area of sentiment has failed to receive
the same kind of attention. Tops occur when most traders are bullish, bottoms
when most are bearish. Traders who understand when markets are extremely
bullish or bearish have an edge over those who follow only technical and
fundamental analysis. The author examines how to use the Commitment
Of Traders and other important indicators, like news coverage, to locate
sentiment extremes. You can make more money in forex if you understand
sentiment, and this book shows you how. (Jamie Saettele is the STOCKS &
COMMODITIES interview subject of the month.)

The World Is
Your Oyster: The Guide To Finding Great Investments Around The Globe
(276 pages, $27.50 hardcover, 2008, ISBN 978-0-307-38104-0) by Jeff D.
Opdyke, published by Crown Business.
In 1995, when Wall Street's pros insisted that investors buy domestic
mutual funds that invest overseas, the author ignored their advice. He
opened bank and brokerage accounts from New Zealand to Hong Kong to buy
the stocks that he wanted to own, not those chosen by some fund manager.
As hundreds of millions of people strive to join the middle class, the
companies that meet their basic needs are becoming great investment opportunities.
How to find these companies is the heart of this book. You can make the
world your oyster by diversifying your portfolio, and this is the guide
to show you how to research and track those companies, and how to set up
bank and brokerage accounts, handle taxes, convert currencies, and more.
If you are ready to take advantage of the opportunities for investing overseas,
this is where you'll find out how best to do so.
