Technical Analysis of Stock Trends

The 21/2 day Seminar

Comments by some past students

This course was an outstanding course.  It clarified and expanded my understanding of trends.  I was further enlightened as to the flaws of (my) trading style.  Charles Bassetti is the Socrates of technical analysis, or certainly one of the greatest teachers I have ever had.  I hope to learn more from him.

Experience: A++

This was an excellent experience for me.  I haven’t traded actively in several years and it’s been 3+ years since I was last involved in learning TA.  I was amazed at the simplicity of the techniques discussed and the fact that they can be applied mid and long-term without the need to sit in front of the computer everyday actively monitoring the markets.  Doing this during my previous experience was a turnoff, especially since I was learning on the fly and didn’t have a solid understanding of one or more basic theories, which I was able to gain in this seminar.  I am now confident I will be able to take this new knowledge and put it to immediate use.  Thanks.

I feel Charles Bassetti’s 2 1/2 day seminar was both practical and insightful.  I am excited to put into practice all that I learned.  I am confident my future trading experiences will be profitable using the information I have learned.  I would recommend this seminar to anyone experienced or otherwise who is serious about their trading.

Instructor's Report Card:

I really enjoyed the class. The quality of instruction & format were excellent. I'm looking forward to using the trading concepts.

Excellent Overview of subject. Plus I enjoyed it.

Grade E= Excellent Will give you a report after it all sinks in.

ENLIGHTENED:

This class has helped me bring my trading back to reality... seeing stocks for what they are.

See the flower: This stuff really works-- it is not what I had previously heard it to be --

Grade AAA+:

This course is excellent. Particularly because in the first day you managed to simplify and anchor the basis of charting. Your approach to charting is pure and objective. This is significant for me because previously I looked at the chart seeking a pattern, however if I just get out the ruler and draw --then my analysis can tell me, just as you say. That is a seriously critical point. Thank you.

Course grade A: I enjoyed it and learned a great deal. The exercises were important and valuable. Thanks!

Please spend more time on forms of hedging and forms of arbitrage. Also, this workshop/seminar has been an excellent review of tranding principles.
