Book sample for The Successful Investor: What 80 Million People Need to Know to Invest Profitably and Avoid Big Losses:

“There’s another way the market signals distribution. We call it stalling action. In this case, the market will move up in active trading and then all of a sudden have trouble making much more progress. It doesn’t go down, it just doesn’t short”. it doesn’t go up much compared to the previous day or two. An example would be a market that has a clear uptrend for several weeks but then gains 40 points on heavy volume one day and the next day goes up to 30 or 40 but closes ahead only a point or two on equal or heavier trading. than the day before.”
