Little is known about the personal lives of each of these authors, but in surveying their other books and writings, a more informed picture emerges of their capabilities in their chosen field, stock and futures market analysis.

Little is known about the personal lives of each of these authors, but in surveying their other books and writings, a more informed picture emerges of their capabilities in their chosen field, stock and futures market analysis. From the quality and clearness of the writings in this and other of his works, it soon becomes apparent that Victor DeVilliers was not only very knowledgeable on the markets but he had the uncommon talent to put it into written words. (Most market authors are generally better traders and investors than writers.) On the other hand Owen Taylor was certainly extremely capable, being more the expert on the technical aspects of market analysis, something easily ascertainable from the Technical Analysis subjects that he presented in his own books and booklets. It is to the credit of both authors that they recognized just how valuable to investors and traders the Point and Figure method could be and that they saw fit to produce this fascinating work on a subject that in its essence is just putting small "Xs" on graph paper. But how to put them to graph paper and how to read their meanings is what can separate the trading and investing boys from the trading and investing men. Surveying all of the writings that have been published over the years, we find there have been and are a number of good, very good and excellent books on the Point and Figure methodology and its star attributes. However, every once in a while someone comes along and writes what is easily the seminal work, the finest on its particular subject. Some 65 years later we can attest to the fact that Victor DeVilliers and Owen Taylor rule the roost on their chosen subject with the two volumes republished here, which taken together, have to be considered the ultimate - "The Bible of Point and Figure Charting."

Preface to First Edition Introduction to First Edition 1 THE PRINCIPLES OF
THE POINT AND FIGURE METHOD Logic is the basis of this Method Irrelevant
fluctuations eliminated How the Method got its name Graphs are logical and
scientific Introductory summary of important principles Needed accessories
are few Plotting a stock price movement One point charts the basis of the
Method Accessories and working tools 2 THE WEIGHT OF AUTHORITY BEHIND THIS
METHOD Refined to coordinate with present day markets Mystery and
complications have been clarified Expensive financial and economic reports
unnecessary Certain factors taken for granted Analytical technique easy to
master Losses limited while profits accrue Method weighs forces of buying
and selling 3 ADVANTAGES OF THIS METHOD OVER OTHERS Speed and ease of
recording data The Method ignores volume Price changes versus volume Supply
versus demand Volume easily manipulated Facility of this method The utter
simplicity of the records Manipulation readily detected Use all full figure
changes in making charts Method is superior to inside information Isolation
develops best results Our charts reveal plans of the majority How the move
begins Stock market trading is a business Inside information unnecessary
One point charts show all 4 THE VITAL POINTS Vital point I - recording full
figure changes Vital point Il - only full figure changes Vital point III -
suitable graph paper Vital point IV - use of horizontal and vertical
columns Vital point V - trend reversals Vital point VI - only one symbol to
a square Vital point VII - move over diagonally Vital point VIII - skip no
squares Vital point IX - formation of congestion area Vital point X - the
full fulcrum Vital point XI - first buying point Vital point XII - the
catapult Vital point XIII - secondary buying point Vital point XIV - the
