“…a truly brilliant compact tome which I expect will be an acclaimed classic even in 50 years time…” (www.erivativesreview.com, 18 November 2002)

Download Description
"The first investment book I ever read - in the late 1960s - was Harry Schultz's Bear Markets. After watching the late 1990s lunacy and inevitable fallout, I feel every market student and investor should read a great book on bear markets and thus become wise through the printed word not later through painful disillusion. To the rescue at the right time again comes Harry's new take on the subject, Bear Market Investing Strategies. Full of wisdom and practical advice, this book is an utter necessity for anyone who wants to learn how to make money in all market trends, not just rising ones." ?Robert R. Prechter, Jr., President, Elliott Wave International "Harry Schultz probably has more bear market experience than anyone...and plenty of experience in pseudo-bull markets too. Now, he's come up with a book that can be very important for investors at this awkward stage of the world economy and market. Buy the book?it could save you a lot of money." ?Bill Bonner, Daily Reckoning Newsletter and market analyst "Harry is a worldwide respected guru and market analyst. A major character in my novel, The Moneychangers, was based on Harry. His new street-smart book is the right medicine for this market. From this long-time admirer, I hope his latest investment wisdom will find the large audience it deserves." ?Arthur Hailey "Harry has come up with what people NEED most at this awkward stage of the world economy and markets. This book covers a variety of advices to help you make the right decisions. Who could ask for more?" ?Jim Sinclair, Ex-NY market marker, Chairman, Tan Range Resources.

Not Worth the Money
Save your money for something more useful. There is nothing in this book that makes it worth the price. A far better book on bear market investing is "Riding the Bear" by Sy Harding. And for concepts about timing the market and investing both long and short, see Les Masonson's "All About Market Timing" and Deborah Wair's "Timing the Market."

Disappointing
If you're looking for specific methods for trading or investing you'll be disappointed. Most of his advice reads like a collection of conventional investing wisdom, with his own bent. It's almost like a theory of investing and he doesn't give specific techniques or examples. More "Look to do this or that". Much of it is vague. Lists over 20 indicators to look at, suggestions on what to look for, but there are no examples or charts. It reads like a general overview of his investing philisophy or a primer. You won't come away with any new techniques. The main theme is don't buy and hold, there are times to go short and look at the big picture.

He does touch on cycle theory and Elliot wave briefly. He list many sentiment and breadth indicators to look at or calculate. Some can be gotten through data services, others you have to calculate by hand from data from sources like Barrons. I was expecting a lot more from someone with his reputation. There was no solid material here.

Bear Market Investing
The book was very straight forward and very interesting,. I have found alot of the information was true.

Customer Reviews

Coming Together
I went to a Steve Nison seminar first. Once Home I bought his book to review. The book is very informative. Well worth a Few reads and study.

An indispensable tool
The book by Steve Nison is certainly an indispensable tool for anyone who wish to invest their hard-earned cash in the stock market. It prepares you before you decide either to purchase, or sell, to stay or leave.

a good fundamental book
A very good book covers lots of details of candlestick chart, I would say.
However, all this book full of Japanese sayings,Japanese proverbs like"one seeing is better than a hundred hearings","the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.",etc. As a Chinese,I have to say all of these sayings original came from China thousands of years ago. Japanese don't even have their language in written way, before Chinese Tang dynasty. Japan and Korea were adherent countries of China at Tang dynasty, thousands of years ago. They learned from China since that time, and they are still using Chinese characters in their written language somehow. All your showing-off of your Japanese idioms only show the author's ignorance of oritental culture, hey, Nison, don't even say you lived in Japan before any more.
Today, the whole oriental countries share China's history and culture, you may need to correct them as oriental people's proverbs rather than Japanese sayings, BECAUSE it's not true and it's showing the author's ignorance.
