I think the candelstick program does well with high volatility sectors/stocks - if they don't move around much then it is better to be a buy and holder: news.morningstar.com But as you can see from the 3 year, 1 year, 6 month and 1 month returns buy and holding has not brought you NEARLY the returns as the candlestick computer with various sectors in similar time frames. Noting that energy and foreign markets were the better plays - and gold most recently. I think of the 2 guys in eddie murhpy's movie - trading places - they can't make more money unless you trade trade trade eh? It is in thier best interests to make the markets extremely volatile and sensationlize every piece of financial news eh? You have to give the tree a shake to get the apples out eh? What to do if we stop them from shaking trees and fulfill the financial engineers wet dream - no more volatility - how will traders or banks or etrade make money? Bogle says their day is done but they won't go out without a fight.
