 Summary of Recent Reports:Weekend Report Comments on Saturday, March 13, 2010:
Over the past 2 sessions (ending Friday, March 12, 2010), the closing price has been lower than the previous day. When both price and volume fall, as was the case with RDC this week, a lack of buying interest is indicated. Sometimes this presents an opportunity. The Wilder RSI is moderately bearish, and going in the wrong direction. The conventional RSI is almost unchanged from the previous week. Negative Volume Indexes are running at fair price levels. It lost ground during the last week, but is still up for the month. Since the previous week the phase of the oscillator around the 200 bar average is almost unchanged. From the Update 3/17/2010 : The recent session is represented as a stepped up medium body, following the stepped up medium body on Tuesday. The stepped candle has a body that is shadowed at one end only. It can indicate an orderly progression of the market. Recently there have not been any particularly significant signals. The most recent signal, "Wilder's 7 Day RSI Signals at 80 and 20", was produced on Friday, March 05, 2010. In this range, it is most often considered to be a sell signal. |

Chapter 1:
Classical Analysis provides a good overview of the data for Rowan Companies, Inc., and reveals patterns that will be explored with detail in later sections. See RDC Classical Analysis.
Chapter 2:
Risks associated with short and long period price changes can be understood through Volatility Analysis. Here the impact of the Volatility Curve on the potential profitability positions across different time spans is shown. See RDC Volatility Risk.
Chapter 3:
This section shows historical volumes for sales of RDC stock, along with Seasonal and Cyclical Trends in Volume. See RDC Historical Volume.
Chapter 4:
A look at Traditional Seasonal Analysis of Rowan Companies, Inc. Historical Prices identifies the best and worst months to be invested. See RDC Calendar Year Trends.

Moving Averages of various flavours are popular indicators. Here we test the predictive ability of different averages as applied to prediction of Rowan Companies, Inc. prices. See Average Indicators.
Volume II: Modern Technical Analysis:
Chapter 6:
Some say that modern analysis began with the successful identification of technical oscillators such as the highly effective Wilder RSI. See Technical Oscillators.
Chapter 7:
This chapter takes a view somewhat similar to standard analysis of seasonal trends, but it is based on the 4 year or 2 year Political Calendar rather than the 1 year Standard Calendar. Political Seasons work better than Calendar Seasons for predicting prices of many companies. See Politics and Prices of RDC.
Chapter 8:
Volume Stratification Analysis tracks the volumes associated with price levels over the entire history of a stock. The resulting analysis yields a framework for understanding the mechanism behind support and resistance levels, and a scientific basis for predicting price behaviors due to those levels. See Volumetric Analysis.
Chapter 9:
Analysis of Market Momentum as the product of Price and Volume drives an interpretation considerably more sophisticated than those that consider Price Momentum alone. See Momentum Investing Indicators.
Chapter 10:
Technical Analysis discovers the range of moods of investors toward RDC. See Market Sentiment.
Section 11:
This section visualizes mappings based on the number of consecutive price movements in a particular direction. A discussion of the "Monte Carlo Fallacy" and it's relevance to Stock Price Prediction leads to a revisionist method of Price Projection using the Bernoulli Analysis. See Bernoulli Run Analysis.
Chapter 12:
Japanese Candlesticks have a long history, but continue to be used because some of their best concepts are based on universal Investor Psychology. See Japanese Candlesticks.
Volume III: Advanced Visualization and Prediction:
Chapter 13:
Ordinary analysis does not show the features of the behavioral history underneath the price volume line. Here multi-spectral analysis brings the hidden features to the surface. See Support and Resistance.

The combination of multi-spectral and mult-dimensional analysis of Rowan Companies, Inc. historical trends, yields a rich set of behavioral surfaces. See Price Behavior Surfaces.
Chapter 15:
