People used to find cycles by weighting price histories with secret
weights, I think in the '50s.  Somebody spoiled a lot of the fun
by analyzing the spectrum of the weighting functions.

``A Random Walk Down Wall Street'' is still a the best book, if you're
inclined to think statistical techniques might help.  It ought to
dissuade you.
