Hedgehog Charts: This concept was developed by Elisabeth Legge, international Economist at BankGesellschaft Berlin. Hedgehog charts were developed in order to graphically demonstrate the accuracy of multiple economic forecasts at different points in a time series. The chart is named after the hedgehog because of the spines that project around the time series. E-mail: elegge@ibuk.bankgesellschaft.de

Coppock Indicator: This investment tool was first created by Edwin Coppock, an investor operating in the United States. It is based on the observation that grief after bereavement takes about a year to work off. Coppock applied the idea to cyclical swings of the New York Stock Exchange since the Second World War. The Coppock Indicator proved very successful in predicting market upturns, but less successful in predicting downturns. It is one of two ingredients combined in our technical analysis of foreign currency movements as well as global bond and stock markets and investing styles.
