Opis

Technical analysis is not supposed consistently to beat financial markets. In this book, however, Professors Surajaras and Sweeney seek to establish that carefully chosen rules can produce substantial and consistent measured profits over time. The authors also call into question the traditional academic wisdom that markets in general are efficient.
