You are joking, right? Even if handwriting were some sort of predictor (which I think is about as full of BS as astrology) a manufactured signature, created just for an annual report couldn't possibly begin to be useful. It might not even be his. For example, for certain important documents, I sign much differently (i.e. legibly) than for say a routine check or VISA slip. The whole notion is goofy. Well, good luck. You learn about something new every day around here. Hey - have you tried using the Super Bowl investment theory (if the national conference wins, the market goes down, if the american conference wins, it goes up, or something like that)?

The key to a company's success lies with the CEO. Knowing who the CEO is and his ability to inspire trust and confidence in his employees is essential. Plus he must be a visionary. Some answer to these questions can be determined by an analysis of the CEO's handwriting. ED L: I humbly suggest you might feel more at home at the Yahoo discussion boards.

Some answer to these questions can be determined by an analysis of the CEO's handwriting. ED_L, Handwriting can be used to evaluate a person's handwriting but that's about as far as it gets. Nobody has ever established a meaningful correlation between handwriting and personal habits and/or traits. Not that you mentioned it, but palm reading, face reading, and other such nonsense fall under the same unmentionable heading as handwriting analysis. None have ever produced results distinguishable from pure chance. Anecdotal, hand-picked samples are often touted as proof and accepted by the innumerate, ignorant masses as such. There will always be enough small-minded, dim-witted and irrational people to keep these old wife's tales going so don't worry about finding an audience for your views. I just don't think you're going to find it here.
