For evaluating a stock, all an investor needs is to understand various market cycles and decide the most appropriate buy and sell points on the basis of these market cycles. To a certain extent, a person need not perform a fundamental analysis of a stock to predict its potential growth; technical analysis would suffice the need. Nowadays, we have various sites that provide price chart graphs over a period of time and all an investor needs is to understand the indicators for entering or exiting the market. The book, "Ideal Securities Analysis", gives an insight of almost all technical aspects for evaluating a share's prospects based on all this available information. The methods outlined in this book will enable readers to build a stock portfolio that would provide good profitable returns over a period of time through a technical analysis of stock prices.
