Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Stocks and Shares Simplified
Brian J. Millard · 1986
55/100
👎 Skip It
Millard's cycle-and-channel analysis framework was genuinely innovative for its era and influenced a generation of UK private investors, but the 1980s market structures, specific data sources, and regulatory context are now largely obsolete. The conceptual framework may still interest readers who want to understand technical analysis history, but as actionable investing guidance it cannot be recommended without significant updating. A historical artifact more than a current resource.
