How Markets Really Work by Laurence A. Connors identifies many fascinating stock price patterns, and many of the repeating price patterns can be used both by short-term traders and long-term investors. Connors suggests that buying strength and selling weakness is not always the best choice. As an investor, many factors make up the decision process in allocating capital.
