Can we predict a financial stock market ?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market

Its commenly said that no one can predict the flow of a market yet there is some factor that is able to predict it exactly ! anyone have an idea or which type of people are able to predict the market exactly a needed and yet make millions and maybe billions due to that !

The people that say it can not haven't heard of William D. Gann. W.D. Gann invested in the markets during the early part of the 1900's and died in the 1950's. Gann has an incredible track record of predicting when and where a market would turn. There was an instance where news reporters followed him around while he traded and out of something like 288 trades, he was correct on 284 of them.

Gann would do things like one one trade, he said that Sept. Wheat would trade at $1.30. At the time he made that statement, Sept. wheat was trading in the 84 cent range. In other words, the Sept. wheat contract would have to trade at $1.30 before expiration. I believe he made that statement in July of that year, meaning wheat would have to climb 46 cents in 2 months and a 46 cent move is quite a bit. On the last day of trading, wheat was still in the high 90 cent, low $1 range. An hour before the trading session ended and the Sept. wheat contract expired, wheat prices took of an hit a high of guess what - $1.30 and not a cent higher.

There was one gentlemen (who's name I forget, it's in an article on my work computer) that took all the cycles that are present in the stock market and made a composite cycle. For a period of about 6 years, he traded only on that composite cycle and had an unheard of 185:1 win/loss ratiol.

I personally have been able to call market turning points to within 1 tick of the price high/low. It's not easy, but I've had done is a couple of times.

W.D. Gann wrote several books on trading, but the concensus is that Gann did not share his secrets in his writings, that he died without ever revealing how he knew when and where markets would turn.

For example, there is a consistent pattern that turns up in the market called Fibonacci retracement levels. Leonardo di Pisa was a 13th centurn mathematician that discovered a unique mathematical sequence that exists in nature. People have applied Fibonacci numbers to the market and have found an that the markets move within the boundaries of Fibonacci sequences. For example, if you take a market swing low and then find a swing high, take the difference between the two and multiply by .382, .50, .618 and then subtract those numbers from the swing high, the markets downward reaction would stop at or very near one of those numbers. I have witnessed it many a time myself and have been able to call when prices would turn and resume their trend.

The people that say it can't be done have very little to zero knowledge of such things. I personally know one gentleman that called the top in the '87 crash 5 years before it happened. He as 2 days too early and 2 points too high - and remember, he called it 5 years before it happened. And by the way, he makes really good money trading the markets.

I have an idea of how he did it, but the logic behind it is rather difficult and I am having trouble grasping it.

Yes, that markets are predictable, but it takes a lot of study and a lot of time.

If you finance a car and trade it in for a new car in 2-3 years what happens to the money owed on the 1st car?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

Went to a dealership recently and the man who sold me my current car asked if I was interested in doing just that. It doesn't seem wise to me, though. Thoughts??

when you go to the car dealership they will appraise your current vehicle. If they offer you MORE money for it than what you currently own on your loan that is known as "equity". You can use that money as a down payment for the new car.

If they offer you less money for your car than what you owe on your loan, you are responsible to put that up front just to pay off your loan, and then on TOP OF THAT you have to give a down payment for the new vehicle.

Be careful and think with your head not your heart.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

What do we mean by 'overweight', market weight and underweight in financial markets?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market


Every sell side firm on the street has their own language to buy, sell, or hold a stock. These are just fancy ways of saying the same. Market Weight = hold; underweight = sell; overweight = buy.

Is there a book that tells you how to do, well, everything?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

I a have non self sufficent 25 yr old girlfriend who can't even balance her own checkbook. She has a gullible, naive personality, (every sales persons dream!) Anyhow, she's been ripped off apartment wise, vehicle financing wise, well the list can go on. She can't cook, clean, sew, do laundry or even clean her cat's litter box ET CETERA.
She actually had her mom do EVERYTHING for her. She recently moved in to her own place with roomates.. I'm just worried she won't last a week there.. Hey! I would show her the ropes of life, but I can't show her everything! Maybe a book would help?

Are there books that tell you how to do EVERYTHING!

What is the basic purpose of a financial market?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market


To find a clearing price (hopefully) via a fair, liquid and unified platform.

Financial markets, like other forms of markets, have buyers and sellers. The buyers and sellers act in the own self interest to bid/ask for financial assets they want. The financial assets can be of many uses, including hedging and investing.

Dilemma in choosing career– finance or supply chain management?

Author: admin  //  Category: Wise Finance

I am in a dilemma about whether to choose finance or supply chain management as a major in MBA. The region where I am going to do MBA , has job opportunities related to supply chain management. But I am confused about my life after the MBA, I am not planning to be in this region all my life!! which one has more opportunities career, money and growth wise in general??!!

Supply chain management is it.
It is a multi-disciplinary proffession, novel and highly specialised

I believe now is a bad time to enter the financial market?

Author: admin  //  Category: Financial Market

Also, what is best starting sum I should have when investing for the first time?
I am talking small scale investing.
$5K ?
$10K?
Thank you.

There's never really a "good" time to start. Are you trying to time the market? Good luck, not even Wall Street people are good at that.

Your best bet: start small and add in small increments. Take the minimum requirement to start a account and add to it monthly in small amounts. The concept it called dollar cost averaging. But get started sooner rather than later.

I started a small IRA of $2000 by investing $166 for a year back in the 1980s, That account now has over $25K in it and I never added beyond the original $2000. SO, get started. There's no such thing as too small.
