Diplomová práce

Abstract:

When the latest World Financial Crises peaked in 2008, it was labelled by many experts as a worst financial collapse since Great Depression. That situation generated challenges for either the appropriate anti-crises mechanisms or even much simpler tools and techniques used by small investors to analyse their investment options in financial markets. Diploma Thesis is aimed to verify the validity of the one of those tools during the World Financial Crises , namely ,Technical Analyses which focuses on the study of the market action (market action includes price and volume as a principal sources of information) through the use of charts. Technical analysis involves searching for recurrent and predictable patterns in stock prices and the role of technical analysis as a forecasting mechanism continues to remain controversial in the literature. Hence, testing the forecasting power of Technical analyses during the most unpredicted Crises Case through the statistical and visual tools generates notable results.
