Any Japanese references
editSorry, but I don't always trust technical analyst books. Are there any non-TA books or references, or perhaps some Japanese references? Smallbones (talk) 22:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. How about some historical references besides only TA books? It sounds like it could be a cute story some analyst made up to make his new chart technique sound more impressive. 67.180.202.175 (talk) 23:14, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Searching on Google Books for both variants of the name "Munehisa Homma" and "Homma Munehisa" reveals only books on technical analysis. This doesn't look good. If he was really an extremely wealthy rice merchant, he should be at least mentioned in contemporary histories of Japan, but I can't find a single mention of him outside the context of western TA books.

- The Japanese wikipedia page adds many details, but no sources. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%AC%E9%96%93%E5%AE%97%E4%B9%85 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.35.36.132 (talk) 23:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

"when all are bearish, there is cause for prices to rise"
editdid he really say this? Lmao, this man existence is suspicious, I'm with the people above, even if there is sources from the 70s I think this man is an invention of some modern (probably japanese) economist, or maybe he took the name of some Edo period trader and made an analysis putting new things under his name.

- After investigating a bit though, the book of the three monkeys mentioned in the article seems to exist, and it is about finance. What it seems to be a legitimate copy published in 19th century was scanned by the Kyoto university. If someone is able to read japanese maybe it could comfirm the claims made in the article. At least even if it wasn't made by the man mentioned in this page the origin of the candlestick chart would still lie in Japan. What I'm more curious about is if there is the psychological analysis claimed by Steve Nison.
