  • Global Markets Week In Review: Equities, Bonds, Currencies, Commodities [View article]
    Lau Tzu has the last word here: Those with knowledge don't predict, and those who predict don't have knowledge.

    Isn't this what technical analysis is all about? Technicians say let the market tell you where to go, do not tell the market where to go. Of course this is as difficult as saying "buy low sell high", as it should be otherwise investment/trading won't be a art and a science and everyone would be rich.

    Yet the world says techicians are intellectually empty headed, many jokes have been made of technicians like no one has meet a rich technician.

    If investment is an art and a science, then why do so many say investment is a science and no art? As if scientific statements like "cash is trash", low pe, just buy and hold to eternity is a safe way to make you rich.

    If one accept investment/trading as an art AND a science, then technical analysis has a basis as strong as value investing, buy and hold, low pe etc. We can't say technical analysis is intellectually empty.
