Already more than two millenniums ago the Talmud recommended splitting one’s assets: One-third should be invested in land, one third in business, and one third should be kept liquid.
Only in the years of 1960 to 1980 a scientific basis for the portfolio theory was created. In 1952 and 1956 Harry M. Markowitz published some essays and in 1959 he published a book about portfolio selection. |

The origin is to be found in the past. Less than ten years ago, only the big institutional players were able to participate in this market. Today, it is at everybody's disposal. |

Let the philosophers and mathematicians look for answers and start with something very practical - which current techniques and tools that are needed for the forecast can be applied for price fluctuations or market movements? |

Bill Williams developed his unique theory by combining trading psychology with the Chaos Theory and their effects on the markets. He suggested that rewards from trading and investing are determined by human psychology and that anyone can become a profitable trader/investor if they uncover hidden determinism in seemingly random market events. Williams says that fundamental or technical analysis cannot guarantee steady profitable results because they do not see the real market. Moreover, he says that traders lose because they rely on different types of analysis, which are useless in nonlinear dynamic models, i.e. the real markets. |
