Publisher’s Note: This last work by Jackson had very narrow distribution and is ironically one the scarcest titles out of all his courses written over a 40+ year period. Jackson was self-published, and by the time he released Square Root Method in 1986 (in is late 80s), it’s safe to say that many of that era’s traders were chasing newer, computer-based concepts from financial authors. Additionally, Jackson sold most of his work to his declining base of newsletter subscribers. My brother-in-law and late father-in-law had lunch with Jackson on several occasions in the mid 1980s and they often joked with Jackson on how he’d outlived most of his loyal followers. — A title even harder to find then “The Square Root Method” is the 1950 title “Method for Commodity Trading,” which was a precursor for his “Golden Harvest” courses.
