TIPs=Trend Identification Parameters

TIPs (Trend Identification Parameters) is a quantitative approach to analyzing securities and broad market trends. TIPs was developed by a former economist, market strategist and pioneer of teaching aids for prospective Chartered Financial Analysts, Robert Stalla, Ph.D., CFA. The TIPs model successfully integrates both fundamental and technical information into a single equation used to determine the total return an investor can expect from an investment. Because this return is quantified it can be used as an absolute and a relative measure of investment attractiveness. Traditional charts offer a picture of the past and you are left to draw a conclusion of what is likely to transpire. Combining historical data with current fundamentals, the TIPs charts make the projection for you!
