Stock Market Forecasting

Random Walk? Maybe. Financial markets change according to the whim of the masses. Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction book "Foundation" described a method of anticipating the actions of large groups of people. He called it Psychohistory. Let's take a look at a possible non-fiction approach.

This first segment will cover the background and concepts behind the BP sensor and how it's data is applied to market prediction.

The BP Sensor

So what the heck is a BP sensor and what does it have to do with forecasting stock prices?

"BP" stands for beta particle or as it is more commonly known, the electron. These tiny building blocks of all matter are the little dots depicted circling around the nucleus of an atom. It's the electrons which provide the many wonders of electricity and allow the BP sensor to "pick-up" the signals which affect our moods and therefore our tendency toward fear of loss in financial dealings.

If such a signal were actually present, you would think that it would be common knowledge and everyone would have a gizmo to anticipate the best times to tell your spouse about that three-day hunting trip. The link between the signal and human biology has remained pretty much unexplored since the discovery of it's presence.

In 1952, physicist W. O. Schumann postulated mathematically that our earth and ionosphere constituted a cavity wave guide whose physical constants and magnetic field would oscillate at a resonant frequency identical to the range of human brain waves. In 1962, the National Bureau of Standards division' of Radio Propagation reported the actual physical detection and instrumental recordings of these signals; and as predicted, tracings were indistinguishable from human brain waves.

Unfortunately, very little is publicly known about this biological signal, although NASA has been using this knowledge to protect astronauts while they are outside the earth's natural source. The physical condition of early astronauts deteriorated severely while in outer space, away from the Schumann Resonance. The problem was solved by introducing the "Schumann Simulator" into all space shuttles, a magnetic pulse generator mimicking the Earth's frequency. This demonstrates the simple fact that we cannot be healthy if disconnected from the "natural biological frequency".

Part 2 of this series will discuss the design and signals from the BP sensor.
