This is Guaranteed to be the Most Accurate Stock Market Prediction You'll Find Anywhere

Stock market Predictions are made here without the use of Stock Market prediction Software

They're out there...

The professional experts with the latest stock market predictions.

Whether they've ever gotten it right before or not, there they go again - attempting to predict the movement of the stock market, or predicting the future of the economy, or predicting the direction of the housing market.

Many of them use technical analysis, or fundamental analysis, or a combination of both. Many of them also use sophisticated and powerful stock market prediction software to do the forecasting.

But how many get it right?

What I can never understand is how they keep coming back with more market predictions, even when they're proven wrong so many times! Have they no shame, no humility?

And yet, many unsuspecting investors follow along with the pundits' projections and predictions like little lambs - lambs to the slaughter house that is!

The Truth About Stock Market Predictions

There is one fundamental truth that everyone should understand...

...and that is that NOBODY can even predict the direction of the next TICK, let alone the movement of the markets over time.

Fundamental Analysis

The problem with using fundamental analysis in isolation is that the world (and especially the world of the stock market) is an imperfect place. You can have the most excellent fundamentals for any given stock, and yet its price can move in the opposite direction than expected based on the fundamentals alone.

Why is that?

It's because there is a lot more going on behind the markets than the pure fundamentals. There are powerful people with very large investment funds. Do you think these people are trading like you are? If you think they are buying at the same time as you, you are sadly mistaken. And when you're thinking about selling, they were out long ago.

Who made money? The big boys.

Who lost money? You did.

Sorry, but while you were working on studying the fundamentals, the big boys were already in the market, waiting for you to come along. Here comes another lamb.

Technical Analysis

I have a lot to say about technical analysis of the stock markets, or any market for that matter. However, this is not the place for that. The very premise that a price is going to move because it is in some kind of [often barely recognizable, and usually seen differently by different people] pattern or because some algorithm is applied to past prices is, well - think about it. Does it sound logical to you?

But I hear you saying "Technical Analysis does work - I've seen prices move when the stochastic or the [insert any other indicator name here] turned".

My answer is: Sure it works - when it works!

The problem with technical analysis is that it's not reliable. If you've done a lot of trading using indicators, support and resistance, trend lines, patterns, etc., you know what I mean. Did you make money using these? I already know your answer: "Sometimes". Another lamb showed up at the slaughterhouse.

So Here's My Stock Market Prediction For 2010

Prices will go wherever they want to.

"Oh, great", you say. "What use is that to me?"

Here's the Secret...

Don't try to predict the movement of the markets.

Instead, learn to read charts. Everything you need to know is already built right into a simple price chart. All the fundamental data. All the market sentiment. Even the predictions.
