Since Burton Malkiel's seminal work A Random Walk Down Wall Street waspublished, the financial world has swallowed whole the idea thatmarket movement is chaotic and random.
In Far from Random, Richard Lehman uses behavior-basedtrend analysis to debunk Malkiel's random walk theory. Lehmandemonstrates that the market has discernible trends that areforeseeable. By learning to spot these trends, investors andtraders can predict market movement to boost returns in anythingfrom equities to 401(k) accounts.
Richard Lehman has been a financial professional for more thanthirty years. He studied the first iterations of behavioral financeback in the 1970s as a financial marketer and has since worked invarious facets of the financial industry. His early introduction tobehavioral finance and the more recent introduction to trendanalysis led him to this important discovery.
