Are Financial Crashes Predictable?
Laurent Laloux, Marc Potters, Rama Cont, Jean-Pierre Aguilar, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud
Abstract
We critically review recent claims that financial crashes can be predicted using the idea of log-periodic oscillations or by other methods inspired by the physics of critical phenomena. In particular, the October 1997 `correction' does not appear to be the accumulation point of a geometric series of local minima.
