Abstract:     

Many authors discovered that simple forms of technical analysis possessed significant forecast power on various market indexes. We show that these results can be replicated on formally selected European indexes, which almost completely eliminates any influence from data-snooping. Implications of these results in terms of market efficiency are also discussed.

Jag har varit dålig med att skriva inlägg på min blogg på senaste tiden. Det beror på att jag är inne i en mycket aktiv arbetsperiod just nu och varken haft tid eller fokus på någonting annat.

Jag hoppas att jag kommer att kunna börja göra lite mer inlägg om ett par veckor igen.

Hoppas alla har haft en underbar julledighet. Det har jag haft!  ;)

If you’ve been trading for a long time, you no doubt have felt like a monstrous, invisible hand sometimes reaches into your trading account and takes out money. It doesn’t seem to matter how many books you buy, how many seminars you attend, or how many hours you spend analyzing price charts, you just can’t seem to prevent that invisible hand from depleting your trading account funds.That brings us to the question, “Why do traders lose?” Or maybe we should ask, ”How do you stop the invisible hand?”…………..

A number of economists believe the U.S. debt burden, budget problems, recession and lack of growth will soon be the same as those now facing many EU nations. This would mean that America has begun to enter a period of economic stagnation that will last for years. No prediction could be further from the truth……….

Given that 2011 has been defined by an uncertain economic outlook and promises by central banks in Canada and the United States to keep interest rates low, it is hardly surprising that dividend-payers have been among the best-performing stocks.

I don’t know whether the number is 99%, 99.5% or 90%.  What I do know is that most people don’t want to trade.  They don’t want to watch the screens or get caught up in the day-to-day mayhem that is today’s markets.  Even a large percentage of people who think they want to trade, when push comes to shove, find out they don’t have the stomach for it………..

While I had a reasonably successful surprise list for 2011, with about half my surprises coming to fruition, the real story was that I achieved something that is almost impossible to accomplish.

My most important surprise (No. 4) was that the S&P 500 would end the year at exactly the same price that it started the year (1257) and that the range over the course of the year would be narrow (between 1150 and 1300).

As explained below, both predictions were remarkably close to what actually occurred……….
