Beautiful Pictures from the Gallery of Phinance
Author:Robert R., Jr Prechter

Bob Prechter has written 13 books, but he says, "The coolest of them all is Beautiful Pictures. It was the hardest one to write because of all the calculations involved. But the end result was a gallery of simple, clear graphs that will let you see at a glance the incredible way that Elliott waves - going all the way back to 1932 - are proportioned in time and price."

Some day, the financial world will catch up to these ideas, but you will enjoy the future now when you look at these truly beautiful pictures. The book is a large size, with full 8 1/2 x11 pages so you can see every chart clearly. With just this guide, you will find that you can forecast market turning points yourself.

The 2005 edition includes over 3,400 profiles. Each company profile gives you an instant snapshot of the firm in question: the nature of its business, who runs it, where it is located and who its professional advisers are. The up-to-date consolidated balance sheets and five-year financial summaries give you the information you need to make a quick assessment of a company's financial position. And because we identify all company directors by name - there's a total of 19,288 individuals in the 2005 edition - you'll find it easy to follow up your enquiry with any firm direct.

The Waterlow Stock Exchange Yearbook also contains a wealth of other useful information: a list of member firms; share registrars; solicitors and their clients; auditors and their clients; FT-SE-350 and AIM company listings; government, corporation and provincial stocks and securities; foreign government and corporation stocks and bonds; details on capital gains tax; inheritance tax; exemptions; trustee investments and the full board of The London Stock Exchange.

In short, everything you need to know about the companies and financial instruments traded on the London and Irish stock exchanges in a single, handy volume. We list all stockmarket companies alphabetically by sector. Use our client/adviser listings to find out which professional firms advise which listed companies. We provide full client lists for both solicitors and auditors.

Looking for a listed company which has changed its name, but don't know the new name? If it's happened in the last twelve months, look it up in our Name Changes section. If the change is older than that, use our index of previous company names to find it.
