Author J M Hurst is a legend to knowledgeable individuals interested and involved in the study of cyclical price movement in the financial markets. An aerospace engineer by training and background, he was the first pioneer in the computerized research into the nature of stock price action, devoting many years and over 20,000 computer hours to this study. His conclusions were first documented in this groundbreaking classic. This book has become a classic and it is held in exceptionally high esteem by serious technical analysts and market students.

Synopsis:

This is the MP3 Version of this course.

In the late 1960's a small group of private investors in California rented time on a mainframe computer---the only kind that existed at that time---and asked an aerospace engineer, J.M. Hurst, to help them in their stock market research. The results of over 30,000 hours of computerized data analysis were distilled and revealed in Hurst's 1970 book, The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing , which has become a classic work on cycle analysis. Read more . . .

Description:

In the early 1970's Hurst authored a full-length course on cyclical analysis and on how to apply it to actual trading. It was published by Cyclitech Services, and Hurst taught the principles of this course in a series of seminars for a year or two. The material in this course is considered by many to be the clearest and most thorough material ever made available for those interested in learning about cycles and how to trade profitably with them. There were only 250 copies of the course ever sold. It has been out of print for the past 25 years.

In the mid 1970'2, Hurst, an intensely private individual, disappeared and has not been heard from again. We have had many customers over the years who were tremendously interested in Hurst and his work and were extremely interested in contacting him. They wanted anything he had written or done beyond his The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing , but until now, there has been nothing available. I had only heard about this course in rumor for years. Only recently did I actually locate a copy of it. It has been a dream of mine for years to preserve this course for posterity and to make it available again to the trading and investing community.

Consisting of over within ten manuals spanning nearly sixteen hundred pages and eleven full-length audio tapes (15-18 hours), reproducing it has proven to be an expensive, but exciting and fulfilling challenge. We at Traders Press are proud to make this superb course available once again. It is available exclusively direct from Traders Press.

Testimonials

As author of a market letter based on cycles we are constantly asked "how do I learn more about cycles?" or "what is a good book on cycleS?" For over. 25 years I have had to say that there are few books that deal with the subject as well as Jim Hurst's book The Magic of Stock Transaction Timing. For a book that stays focused on the subject and does not wander into other methods of analysis this has been the best for cyclical study of market movements. Our recommen¬dation would also have included his 10 lesson course on stock market cycles that went into even greater detail except that it was out of print and no longer available. This is no longer the case and we now have the perfect answer for someone who wants to learn more about market cycles—The J. M. Hurst Cycles Course. The course goes into greater detail than the book and gives you a true "hands-on" approach to analyze cycles in stocks from entry to exit. It has an easy to read common sense style that allows the reader to follow along and gain a "feel" for the cycles as they unfold. A welcome edition to anyone's library that will add new prospective to your market analysis.—Jim Tillman

When Ed Dobson of Traders Press told me in mid 1998 that J.M. Hurst was alive and well, it was almost like hearing that a past market master had been resurrected. When he told me that Mr. Hurst had consented to the release of his proprietary tapes and trading course from a few decades back, I was truly excited. I have spent more than half my life studying cycles in the stock market and it was J.M. Hurst who started my great adventure almost thirty years ago with his book, "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing." To think that the serious market student will now have the chance to study and review the seminal cycle material from Hurst himself is the answer to a technician's prayer. Serious market students all learn sooner or later that there is no "Holy Grail" of market analysis. No technique is assured success in all market situa¬tions. But if you believe that the market's day to day movements are a random walk, do yourself a favor. Study the work of J.M. Hurst. It will permanently change your view of market behavior. It fascinated me almost 30 years ago and it continues to fascinate me to this day.—Peter Eliades Stockmarket Cycles
