Why do you want to make the world a boring place where little Moom can't use technical analysis to try to make money? I have a lifetime appointment since May at a private university... So I am paid what the market is willing to pay for me to do what I want to do. But once I get a little bit more financially independent I could move anywhere I want, sign up with a university as "senior research associate" or whatever, and not have to teach. Keep doing research for the good of the world etc. :) But not get paid and just live off my investments. Trouble is some academics are so envious it might be hard to get the deal I want. So then I need more money so I can get access to the research tools I need. But without the university name and address people take you less seriously unfortunately. The sooner I can get out of this town the better... As for the technical analysis. I have one proprietary tool. I can't really explain how it works... so I couldn't really publish a paper on that? And once I did, if enough people used it it probably would become useless. So what's the point of that? The markets eventually would become smooth efficient trends punctuated by blips where real news arrived. The people I have shown the tool to, didn't get it I think, it is very unconventional. And if you showed it to a regular time series analyts he wuld just tell you all the reasons why it is bad.
