Richard Russell was a legendary Dow Theorist and stock market commentator. Russell wrote the Dow Theory Letters for over 55 years from 1958 to 2015. Using Dow theory, Russell accurately called the top of the market in 1966, the bottom of the market in 1974, and the top of the market in 2007 (Barron's article November 2007.)
With such a record, we find it useful and necessary to list the majority of books that Richard Russell had mentioned in Dow Theory Letters. Some of the books related to the stock market and others are about health, politics or life in general (a small number of books added by us).
