Abstract

IT IS HARDLY NECESSARY to comment in this publication on the growth of the analytical profession during the post-war years. The increase in the number of analysts, and the tremendous improvement in analytical techniques, are familiar phenomena to the readers of this journal. With a growing number of professionals seeking to find new ways of improving investment performance, it is, therefore, hardly surprising that, in the past few years, an ever-increasing number of analysts have turned their attention to technical analysis. It was barely a decade ago that the average portfolio manager, if he was aware of technical analysis at all, regarded it as some sort of black magic. Today, almost all professionals have at least a familiarity with the terminology and a good many make such analysis a major part of their decision-making process. Two factors lead to the conclusion that major improvements in the art are just over the horizon. The first factor is the growing number of serious students applying their time and efforts to analysis of stock prices. The second is the advent of the electronic computer or, more properly, the economic availability of price data in a form that can be analyzed by the computer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
