Visitor: Technical analysis is certainly helpful, but it takes fundamentals to convince me.
RouteMaster: Sorry, if we failed to make that clear. In fact another of the chart types in the Styles RouteMap is about fundamentals - economics. This chart type identifies a key factor that tries to explain the changes in fashion in terms of economic developments and includes our Best Guess as to whether each style is likely to go in or out of fashion.
Sometimes fashions defy fundamental explanations. In such cases we show the relationship that one would reasonably expect to assert itself when markets return to reality.
Incidentally have you spotted our colour coding – indexes are white, variables are yellow (and light green) and Best Guesses are orange (and pink), while buy & sell signals are red arrows.
Here you can see that SmallCap shares respond to changes in industrial production. The recent bear market corresponds to a slowdown in production, but that is expected to improve again, where the projected series continues into the future (the colour changes from yellow to orange)
