Woody Dorsey's innovations in Market Sentiment Interpretation, Trend Duration Analysis, and Transient Investment Themes are part of his system of market diagnosis called "Triunity Theory". His book, Behavioral Trading: Methods for Measuring Investor Confidence, Expectations, and Market Trends was released in 2003.

Market Semiotics (semiotics meaning "diagnosis") is a research service, based on the logic of Behavioral Finance. They apply this analytical approach in diagnosing the symptoms of the market. Behavioral studies of how markets really function led Woody Dorsey to develop Triunity Theory, which suggests that three functions make up the market: Fundamentals, Technicals, and Psychologicals. Market Semiotics has developed behavioral metrics for each of these three areas.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
