I am not asking the CFA, I am asking you... You can't just make statements and don't back them up with at least some reasoning...

there is definite correlation though with GDP (a countries value) and its exchange rate...that exchange rate filters through to earnings (through imports and exports).
So theres definitely a correlation through GDP and the ALSI, albeit its not an immediate affect.

...I second the call to hear more from Preston - will look into the 2 approaches as well, thanks.

skaaptjop, I do agree with your statement though....money supply is the real driver to the stock markets.
Maybe though when the money supply gets got off true value starts showing? Ie over-valued or under-valued returns to fair value

what?!?
His calls are based purely on economics, he doesnt exactly trade chart patterns. His currency entries are based on the economics of that country, why do u think he broke the bank of england entering on an uptrend? how else would he have known the GBP was going to fall?

He specifically also moved out of Hungary, his home, to London to go and study at the London School of Economics.

...Think you might need to read up a bit more on Soros

Well, you see, he is a serious market mover, not just a market player.....and it is well known that he feels that economics play no role in rapidly falling and rising markets(efficient market hypothesis)..... Anyway, I only got to know about him because of his insider trading conviction, so never bothered to really read about his economic theories ...
