Visual analysis enables an investor to analyze a stock or industry group without complicated mathematical formulas and technical concepts. Instead, it tells you - simply and quickly - whether or not the fundamentals of a particular stock are bullish or bearish from the direction in which the price is moving. As Murphy points out, the key to visual analysis is being able to discern whether this stock price is going up or down, not why it is behaving the way it is: "Knowing the reasons behind a stock`s movement are interesting… (but) all that really matters is a picture, a simple line on a chart."

The Visual Investor brings the complexities of technical analysis into sharp focus, enabling you to make sense of these lines. Providing an in-depth overview, Murphy covers all the fundamentals, from chart types and market indicators to sector analysis and global investing.

With actual examples and easy-to-read charts, you`ll learn to:
Spot significant support and resistance levels;
Understand the role volume plays in confirming price action;
Use moving averages to help keep track of trends;
Discern the difference between markets that are trending and those that aren`t;
Determine whether a market is overbought or oversold using oscillator systems.

To get started on your own visual analysis, The Visual Investor contains a complete resource section that lists important publishing and educational resources, as well as software products and data vendors. Also included is a demo CD-ROM of one of the hottest software programs currently on the market.
