Chalk-Talk: Analysis of International Business Machines



Section I:

International Business Machines historical prices are subjected to old fashioned Classical Time Series Analysis in this section. Patterns that emerge here will be a starting point for more detailed analysis. See IBM Classical Analysis.

Section II:

Risks associated with short and long period price changes can be understood through Volatility Analysis. Here the impact of the Volatility Curve on the potential profitability positions across different time spans is shown. See IBM Short Term Risk.

Section IV:

The Traditional Seasonal Analysis of Price Trends can still yield valuable predictive information. See IBM Calendar Year Trends.

Section V:

One of the most popular indicators, the Moving Average, comes in many variations. Here we test the predictive ability of different averages as applied to prediction of International Business Machines prices. See Average Indicators.

Section VI:

Some say that modern analysis began with the successful identification of technical oscillators such as the highly effective Wilder RSI. See RSI Indicators.

Section VII:

This chapter takes a view somewhat similar to standard analysis of seasonal trends, but it is based on the 4 year or 2 year Political Calendar rather than the 1 year Standard Calendar. Political Seasons work better than Calendar Seasons for predicting prices of many companies. See Stock Prices and Politics for IBM.

Section VIII:

A sophisticated method associates price levels with historical volumes. Such semi-abstract concepts as Support and Resistance may then be defined with mathematical precision. See Volumetric Analysis.

Section IX:

A view of Momentum Analysis that takes Volume into account as well as Price. See Price-Volume Momentum.

Section X:

Technical Analysis discovers the range of moods of investors toward IBM. See Investor Mood.

Section XI:

This section visualizes mappings based on the number of consecutive price movements in a particular direction. A discussion of the "Monte Carlo Fallacy" and it's relevance to Stock Price Prediction leads to a revisionist method of Price Projection using the Bernoulli Analysis. See Bernoulli Run Analysis.

Section XII:

The traditional techniques of Candlestick Analysis may seem fanciful, but certain aspects are firmly grounded in the science of Investor Psychology. See Japanese Candlesticks.

Section XIII:

Multi-spectral analysis reveals behavioral features of IBM prices that may not be apparent to ordinary analysis. See Support and Resistance Surfaces.

Section XIV:

Combining the historical behavior surfaces with the geometry of long standing periodic price oscillations yields a behavior surface of more than three dimensions which has an extremely low residual error compared to other methods of analysis. See Multi-dimensional Price Behaviors.

Section XVI:

Predictions and Forecasts. What will happen to IBM over the next few months? See IBM Share Price Forecasts.
