Rezensionen

--Carol Osler Program Director, Lemberg Masters in International Economics andFinance Brandeis International Business School, Brandeis University
"Technical trading is ubiquitous in financial markets, whichmight explain some major financial-market anomalies and makes it animportant topic for research. Like good scientists, Lo andHasanhodzic explore this territory by gathering first-handobservations, with fascinating results."

--Maureen O'Hara Robert W. Purcell Professor of Finance The Johnson School, Cornell University
"The Heretics of Finance is a fascinating view of theart and craft of technical analysis. For financeprofessionals and academics alike, this book is an excellentintroduction to what technical analysts do and why it may makesense in modern markets. An enjoyable and very enlighteningbook."

--Christopher J. Neely, PhD Assistant Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
"In the last twenty years, academics have piled up evidenceon the puzzling success of technical analysis, yet few researchersare very familiar with the thinking of technicians. Lo's and Hasanhodzic's interviews with well-knowntechnicians illuminate their thinking on the markets and theirprofession. The Heretics of Finance is a must-read foreconomists studying technical analysis, behavioral finance, orrelated market anomalies. I recommend it highly."
