I highly doubt that anyone is collecting quotations from technical analysts for a specialized Bartlett’s. But if they were, at the top of the list should be Carl Swenlin’s trademark “Technical analysis is a windsock, not a crystal ball.” Since a windsock is designed to measure two variables, wind direction and wind speed, I consider it a brilliant metaphor.
Swenlin contributes to the
StockCharts bi-weekly newsletter and also has free analyses on his
website. He’s one of the very few forecasters I pay any attention to.
CXO Advisory's grading of his market calls is “pretty good” with not much confidence. But that’s way better than most.
