Page 4 of 5 Fig.4: Autocorrelation of logarithmic returns in the historical 1-week USD LIBOR. Top: as measured in the years of rising interest rates: 2004, 2005, and 2006. Bottom: as measured in the years of falling interest rates: 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008. The difference between the two economic regimes -- of rising and falling interests -- is amplified going over from 1-week to 1-month USD LIBOR. In the rising rates regime (Fig.4, top) the distinct positive peaks merge creating an overall positive correlation, modulated by a wave-like pattern. The interest-drop regime shows oscillatory patterns without the overall positive offset of the top plot. |

"I noticed that in advances as well as declines... prices were apt to show certain habits, so to speak. There was no end of parallel cases and these made precedents to guide me. I was only fourteen, but after I had taken hundreds of observations in my mind I found myself testing their accuracy, comparing the behaviour of stocks to-day with other days. It was not long before I was anticipating movements in prices. My only guide, as I say, was their past performances. I carried the "dope sheets" in my mind. I looked for... prices to run on form. I had "clocked" them. You know what I mean... Another lesson I learned early is that there is nothing new in Wall Street. There can't be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the... market to-day has happened before and will happen again."
-- from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, a classic by Edwin Lefèvre, inspired by the biography of a legendary trader Jesse Livermore, an author himself, who made and lost fortunes, was like catnip to women and commited suicide at an age of 63.
