[edit] Worded to benefit the concept of financial astrology.

The article compares critics' views of using astrology to predict stock market movements with technical analysts' views about the usefulness of market fundamentals as a predictive method. This creates the conception that using astrology to predict the market is possibly as valid as technical analysis or other methods of market prediction that undergo actual scientific testing and research. I do not believe financial astrology has undergone the same scrutiny as technical analysis or other popular methods. If financial astrology has undergone the same scrutiny as other methods then add those references here.

[edit] Censors please tell us, what part of this information is "not fact" or "not verified"

In fact, many people view financial astrology and technical analysis as the part and parcel. According to Arch Crawford, perhaps the most noted Financial Astrologer of the modern era: "So, it seems to me from our own definitions, that if one is running statistical comparisons on Stars, or Solar Flux, or SuperBowl Games, with stock market trading & price output data, it's still technical analysis of markets."

More evidence of this connection between financial astrology and technical analysis, can be found in the 1998 Dow Award, which is considered the most important recognition in the field of technical analysis, which was given to a paper which shows fibonacci time relationships with the lunar cycles between major market tops and bottoms, including a discussion of the impact of "full moons." https://www.mta.org/eweb/docs/1998DowAward.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happytech (talk • contribs)

Which part of the below paragraph is not verifiable, not relevant, or not true? Are you claiming this is "orginal research?" I did not make this stuff up. Help.
