XIII. Nature and Uses of Secondary Swings
The Stock Market Barometer. English-only reading by default; switch among English, Chinese, and Spanish, or compare languages side by side.
Chapter summary
This chapter examines XIII. Nature and Uses of Secondary Swings, using the author’s early-twentieth-century investment framework to explain how investors were expected to judge security quality, income, risk, and market conditions. It opens from the chapter’s own discussion: NATURE AND USES OF SECONDARY SWINGS BEFORE resuming the historical demonstration of the effectiveness of the stock market barometer which has been the subject of our most recent discussions, there is a good opportunity here for some consideration of the secondary swing.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around Dow Theory, secondary swing, tape reading may differ sharply from modern markets.
