Lo and researcher Jasmina Hasahodzic interviewed thirteen highly successful, award-winning market professionals who credit their substantial achievements to technical analysis. The result is the story of technical analysis in the words of the people who know it best; the lively and candid interviews with these gurus of technical analysis. The first half of the book focuses on the technicians' careers: How and why they learned technical analysis What market conditions increase their chances of making mistakes What their average workday is like To what extent trading controls their lives Whether they work on their own or with a team How their style of technical analysis is unique> The second half concentrates on technical analysis and addresses questions such as these: Did the lack of validation by academics ever cause you to doubt technical analysis? Can technical analysis be applied to other disciplines? How do you prove the validity of the method? How has computer software influenced the craft? What is the role of luck in technical analysis? Are there laws that underlie market action? What traits characterize a highly successful trader? How do you test patterns before you start using them with real money? Interviewees include: Ralph J.

Will the euro or the yuan replace the U.S. dollar as the world's currency? Marc Chandler argues convincingly that many people are wrongly pessimistic about both the dollar and the U.S. economy. The United States remains a vibrant and innovative country despite the severe credit crisis. In Making Sense of the Dollar, Chandler acknowledges the existence of trade deficits while advising against sacrificing growth and development. Investors and policy makers need to think about money and trade in a different way. He casts a critical eye at ten myths that contribute to our misperceptions: Trade deficits reflect a lack of U.S. competitiveness There is only one type of capitalism Globalization destroyed American industry The era of the dollar as the global currency is ending A weak dollar boosts exports and drives stock markets These assumptions and others are debunked by Chandler. His inescapable conclusion is that both the dollar and the U.S. economy are much stronger than many people suppose, even in the face of market turmoil and economic displacement. The new rules that emerge from the credit crisis will undoubtedly create new incentives and disincentives, which, in turn, could influence the contours of U.S. strategy for economic expansion.…
