Success in the stock market is about proper decision-making. Which stocks to buy? When to buy? When to sell? Sounds simple enough. The first decision about which stocks to buy is where all the trouble begins for most people. There is an assumption that more research leads to better stock picking. Of course, where there is demand, the supply will follow. That is the definition of capitalism. Sellers of research and reports and rumors and hype for the stock you are interested in will offer plenty of windows for you to jump out of.

It seems like the stock you pick somehow is not the one that runs. It is the stock that no one thought would be the winner that runs. How to make better decisions? Is it even possible? What are the steps you need to take to start on the path of developing better decision-making skills?

Brad Koteshwar, a proponent of using price/volume chart action to observe, interpret and act, introduces seven separate case studies to help illuminate the keys to proper decision-making. Each case study uses a separate individual stock, and its real-life movements and charts, and weaves a fictional short story for each stock to make a boring topic interesting and instructional at the same time.

A perfect primer for the students of the stock market seeking to improve their decision-making skills.
