[.ca] The Stock Market Barometer (ISBN 0471247642)

Classic elaboration of the Dow Theory:
William Hamilton was the successor (both at the Wall Street Journal and in expounding the Dow Theory) to Charles Dow, and the one who clarified the Dow Theory as most people understand it today. To students of the Dow Theory, and of Wall Street and Investment history in general, this is a must-have volume. Also see works by Robert Rhea.

Financial books of the past, still tell you the same truths.:
This is a great book. There is just one update in the introduction. The rest of the book still maintains its 100 year old roots. As a financial author I am always inclined to look to the past for answers. This book orignially written by Mr.Dow, of Dow Jones Industrial Average fame, still is very relevant today.

An unecessary defense of the stock market:
The stock market barometer is a completely unecessary defense of what the stock market is. It provides an incredible amount of uninteresting and completely trivious information. It is definitely NOT a must read.
