by Anthony Joseph Klatch II (Author)
W.D. Gann and the mathematician Fibonacci were born in the wrong century. They laid the groundwork for what was to become the ability to predict the financial markets through Time and through Price, which is now coined as "The Marketome," by the author. However, it took a mind at rest - a mind left to merge their theories - in order to finish the work they both started hundreds of years ago. As the author can validate, he has amassed over 30,000 hours of market experience before his thirtieth birthday, which speaks of his obsession with numbers. That obsession has yielded conclusive determinism about the market movements. Therefore, through Klatch's Price Theory and the included disproof of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which properly rebuts the all-time bestseller of Malkiel's, "A Random Walk Down Wall Street," your author proves that the market is not random; a piece of information that once accepted and digested by the masses may lead to Nobel edification. The Market is Not Random is as academic as it is enlightening. It is written from a non-fiction perspective, with the emotions of the author's life struggle in quantifying the irrational that led to madness. However, that madness was born from an obsession with the markets, and ultimately, the pursuit of knowledge became so reckless that it led to the author's federal conviction and permanent ban from the securities industry. TMINR is the crowning achievement of a lifetime of work, and it will withstand the test of time because it proves that every market and every time frame are not random.
