By Way of Explanation

Until he retired, my father, Justin Mamis, used this site to promote The Mamis Letter, his weekly musings and analysis of the stock market. My father, who died in 2019, was a technical analyst, and was inseparable from the charts he kept that graphically displayed the ups-and-downs of stock prices of an untold number of publicly traded companies. He didn’t need the jibber-jabber on the business pages to indicate whether a stock price would rise or fall. As he used to say, “the tape tells all.”

The good news is that his books on the stock market can still be found on Amazon.com.

The Nature of Risk: Stock market survival and the meaning of life.

When to Sell: Inside strategies for stock market profits.

How to Buy: An insider’s guide to making money in the stock market.

 In the meantime, partly as a tribute to him, and partly because I'm now retired and officially a "former journalist," I'm using this site as an outlet for my own writing. Let me know what you think.
