Since Burton Malkiel's seminal work
A Random Walk Down Wall Street was published, the financial world has swallowed whole the idea that market movement is chaotic and random.
In Far from Random, Richard Lehman uses behavior-based trend analysis to debunk Malkiel's random walk theory. Lehman demonstrates that the market has discernible trends that are foreseeable. By learning to spot these trends, investors and traders can predict market movement to boost returns in anything from equities to 401(k) accounts.
