A seminar focusing on using technical analysis to identify stock market tops

One of the most difficult things to do is to spot the top of a market. Bottoms are much easier to identify. In this seminar, we will look at the last four major tops and how they relate to the current market situation. All of the analysis is technical analysis, not fundamental. There will be particular emphasis on the indicators that we use -- how they performed at those previous four tops, and how they are aligned at the current time.
