I think this is an oversimplification of the stock market. Easily taken out of context and could lead people to haphazard investing.

I think this is a very good method to calculate the stock market indexes,but besides precision in calculation i think you also need a great sense of intuition and some luck:)

Too vague and general. If one wants to learn about stock market, he should get a book instead, much better and more informative.

That's a great article... Many people throw themselves in trading stocks without learning a thing about how to calculate the trends therefore they lose a lot of money and wonder why....

Stock markets are really unpredictable. One need to study thoroughly about the index and individual stocks. You should never have any personal attachement to any stocks. Nice article. I love it.

have to say, I think this is pretty neat, but the stock market is soooo much more involved than this seems to make it out. I think people should do much more reading and educate themselves on the stock market before jumping in and thinking it is so easy.
