Another good simple investing book by Tim Morris
I read Tim Morris' Crash Signal 1st Edition & found it to be an informative simple investing strategy. The updated 2nd Edition builds on the basic strategy by revising it to be even better. The book is a quick & simple read because the strategy is simple & easy to follow. How to identify a market crash signal & how to adjust your investing strategy before, during, & after a market crash. No one knows the future or if this strategy will help you protect & grow your investments in future market crashes. But it is a simple strategy a normal investor can use to take action rather than being surprised by a crash & riding it down.

Is it simple and is it useful
Mr. Morris has codified what I have been thinking (and basically doing) for several decades; including the “losing money” part of it. It is a very straight forward plan on how to make and keep money using stock market investments during the ups and downs of the market cycles. It is not a get rich quick plan. There may be one, but I certainly haven’t found it, nor did Warren Buffet. Good read (very quick) and well done. I’d recommend to any novice or even seasoned investor to “shore up” your strategies.

Short, precise and easy to understand
My wife and I have read this book, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We both are interested in investing, but new to it. So we always look for any helpful information and tips regarding how to invest in Stocks/Bonds/ETFs. The content in the book is short and to the point, easy to understand. The strategy given in the book is logical and straight forward. I will highly recommend this book.We are impressed the way the author explains the strategy, so we have purchased Author's other books as well (The 20Solution, The Set and Forget 11% Ratio and The Green Line). All books are Kindle-edition and prices are reasonable.

Signal Correct in 2022
Really enjoyed the author's no-nonsense approach, just facts and no upsell. Short and to the point. Tim makes the concept easy to understand, and provides the knowledge to check the signal on your own. The Crash Signal proved correct again in 2022. Highly recommended!

Only for Extreme Crash
Mr. Morris has done an admirable job presenting historical data and charts that show the effectiveness of this triggering tactic, used to protect your assets in stocks from a severe market crash. That said, without giving away any privileged material, the indicators he uses are very standard and typical of much that we hear and read about regularly in the financial media. So nothing arcane, which is good, but also nothing particularly remarkable. The really serious problem I have is that, as of the date of this review (Apr 2, 2020), you would STILL be in this horrendous market. Unless I am badly misreading his instructions and my own charting platform, the signal to reduce your exposure to equities has NOT YET BEEN GIVEN! I would suggest that you get a hold of *Win by Not Losing* by Atkeson and Houghton of Delta Investment Management instead. Following their guidelines you would have gotten a signal to move to cash or fixed income instruments on Feb 25, 2020. In addition, this is the best overall investing book I have ever read, with a wealth of both historical and technical information. It is a true DIY instruction manual on taking charge of your own investments. As a personal note, my IRA was 100% in equities all year until Feb 25, when I sold everything at the open on that date. Check a chart to see where exiting stocks on that day would have left you at present.

Read this book!
Do yourself a favor and read this book. If you are an investor or trader, the information contained in the book will give you insight and guidance on how to identify, prepare for and survive the inevitable bear market/crash. If you study this book, become aware of the signals that are clearly outlined, you can prepare ahead of time and have a plan of action that will save you money, maybe even make you money, and certainly reduce the stress of not having a plan based on the historical facts that Tim describes very clearly and concisely. I am an experienced trader and I am now rewriting my Trading Plan because of this book. I recommend this book very highly.8/1/21: I have read the 2nd edition and I must say that it's even better now than the 1st edition. There are no guarantees in investing or trading, but what Tim has done in this book is to explain in great detail a very well thought out and exact way to capitalize by minimizing your risk and investing in a very logical way when the market declines or crashes and then eventually starts to rise again (as it has always done historically). I love this approach and it is my belief that it will continue to work extremely well in the years to come. Read this book, use Tim's Trading Plan or modify it to suit your goals and risk parameters, and develop the discipline to follow it. If you do this, you will have the best chance of succeeding quite handsomely in your investing endeavors.

Not very insightful
Basically, I paid 4 bucks for a digital pamphlet with info that almost everyone already knows. I bought based on a 5 star review saying that this book is invaluable even to the advanced investor. There is no way that review is legit.

Interesting idea
The author presents a single signal (The Crash Signal) that can help with your trading, and more specifically, help you predict a major crash in the stock market.The only downfall to the book that I experienced was that this book is written exclusively about stock trading. I trade cryptocurrencies, so nothing in this book can be carried over to the crypto market unfortunately. That said, I still got value out of the book, and if you trade stocks, I'm sure you'll be enthralled with this read.The book is short and to the point; too many books out there have way too much filler material. Like, I don't care when an author also plays poker in his or her spare time, or that he or she is interested in World War II and decides to dedicate half a chapter to it. This book literally stays on the same topic throughout, contributing to a much more fun and efficient learning process.

Please do some real research before managing your own investment.
This is a about 20 pages of big writing on the subject of the bond yield curve and its relationship to stock market crashes. He talks a little about ‘moving averages’ as a strategy for dragging it out prior to a crash, but it doesn’t take a maths genius to figure out all it is is a sharp drop on a graph. Common information presented for inept investors who are likely to get taken to the cleaners.
