He was in the Random Walk school of thought. He believed that the markets were really truly random. But is that really true? If it were random, how can traders possibly extract a living out of the market? How can traders use tools like technical and fundamental analysis to a certain extent predict future movements of the market? (Actually, “predict” isn’t a good word – really I believe trader’s are weighing up the odds whenever they use technical or fundamental analysis. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/186A904F-B504-46EE-B88A-1680070587FD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
