Definition

Market analysis is the attempt to forecast short- or medium-term price movements of securities or indexes.

Graham's view

Graham treats market forecasts as speculative because they rest on opinion and trends rather than verifiable value.

How to use it

If you engage in market calls, keep them segregated from investment decisions and size them like speculation.
