Best book about The Dow Theory

I think this book is the best among the "classic" books explaining the Dow Theory. This may be subjective as reading is very personal.

Reference for all

Sure it's an old book but I feel that it is a good reference for all new investors because it'll give you a perspective, a foundation, a starting point, for you to begin your investing. This should belong on all investor's shelves.

Excellent for those who want more info on the Dow Theory

If you liked "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" then you'll love this one too. It's not about the wonderful first-hand stories and lessons of "Reminiscences" but for the outstanding insights and information on a very workable theory plus the charming writing style used. Highly recommended.

Excellent book, a must read for the serious investor.

This book is the best of the Dow Theory books. A must read for the serious investor and those who have a clue about value and its relation to stocks in general. Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. Their will always be periods when it is said, "This is a new age" but human nature does not change, nor does fear and greed. If one has any money in stocks one should read and reread this book. As a former Registered Principal, Registered Investment Advisor, Stock Broker and Certified Financial Planner I have found nothing better to determine when to ignore value and watch momemtum and or the Fisher Approach v.s. Graham and Dodd. And conversely when value becomes of upmost importance and asset allocation to stocks should be reduced. Sometimes the simple approach is best. Too much complexity can only obscure the issue.
