One of the main tenets of the Dumb Agent Theory (and the Efficient Market Hypothesis) is that you cannot beat the market. Those who disagree will mention two opposing methods: Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. We are interested in the latter for our purposes.

Technical Analysis, also known as Charting, aims to analyze a stock’s future performance based on its past performance. This involves finding patterns and following certain ‘rules of thumb’.

Inspectd.com lets you do just that with instant gratification. You see a chart with past data and you get to decide whether to Buy or Sell, and then it tells you right away whether you lost or gained money (starting with an amount of $100,000).

Try it, and see if you can make technical analysis work for you. You don’t even need to register.
