Since Burton Malkiel's seminal work A Random Walk Down Wall Street was published in 1973, the financial world has largely swallowed whole the idea that market movements are chaotic and random. But as the world battles with recession, questions are being raised as to whether such theories are still relevant. In Far From Random, Richard Lehman uses behaviour-based trend analysis to debunk the belief that financial markets are at the mercy of random events. He demonstrates that the market has discernable trends that are foreseeable. By learning to spot these trends, investors and traders can predict market movements to boost returns in anything from equities to 401(k) accounts.
