Quote from harrytrader:
...Why Mario Livio is talking about Golden ratios ? Because Golden Ratio is now very present in Cosmology phenomenas although they don't know why as I quoted Feynman !!! The purpose of Science is to answer the Why question and before answering the question one must first consider the existence of the phenomena. The same thing in Stock Market ! What is the origin of Fibo ratios in Stock Market ? If you don't want just consider the question you're just a specie of Solipcism - nothing exists reality is a pure illusion - which is even worse than Mysticism.
Well..... With all due respect ..... FIB ratios and numbers are not a universal phenommena in financial markets .... Even when considered in stocastic models, there are enough counterexamples in most data to make the extrapolation of any type of universal statement about their occurance meaningless.
