In trade jargon, a swing is the amount of time a position to buy or sell a volatile stock remains open. Common sense suggests that long-term position holders are the most likely to succeed in this, since they are the ones who lose the least amount of money on the costs associated with trading: on various commissions and spreads.The author, a well-known MSN Money columnist, tried to concentrate on methods that allow busy people to hold positions from one week to several months, leaving aside short-term market entries that last a few minutes or a couple of hours. He explains to the reader not only trading methods, but also how new online tools work, giving investors a chance to win in this complex game with market professionals.This book is aimed at a wide audience of readers interested in trading in financial markets, that is, private and institutional investors. It will be of interest to trust managers and investment consultants, managers of pension funds and investment management departments of insurance companies, as well as bank employees and currency speculators operating in financial markets.
